              Simplified Storage and Shipping

              Picture

              The pre-palletized Life Cubes are easy to maneuver and load from the shipping location. Their modular structure makes them ideal for preparedness facilities.


              Pre-Stocked Survival Components

              Picture
              The interior of the Life Cube contains vital end-user specific components designed to support the user off-grid. The renewable 12v power source is solar charged and runs: communication, lighting, inflation, exhaust, and accessories. Additional storage space allows the end-user to pre-position unique equipment.


              Air-Beam Canopy

              The inflatable airbeam canopy portion of the Life Cube is manufactured  by the Patten Company using 100% Military-Grade American material. They are a third-generation family-owned company that has been a single source provider of life rafts to the United States Air Force for over 60 years.

              Maneuverable Shipping Container

              Picture
              The shipped cube fits in the bed of a pick-up truck, is air-droppable, and virtually weather-proof. On-site, the shipping container has a deployable hoop rolling system that allows one person to maneuver into position.

              The 5' shipping container unfolds to create the only integrated, hard-surface, raised floor in the rapid deployment shelter industry. This provides a 144 SF platform raised 6 inches above the ground.


              Telescopic Infrastructure & Table

              Picture
              The interior of the Life Cube contains a built-in table with telescopic infrastructure providing: wind & snowload resistance, base of operations, additional storage.



              The video at right shows how just a few people can set up the Life Cube in the time it takes to watch a commercial break. Key times:

              0:15 - Cube has been maneuvered into place using patent pending mobility system

              1:05 - Hoops have been removed and straps removed, the unit is ready to be deployed

              2:00 - The hard-surface raised platform is established and the canopy is ready to be inflated

              3:45 - The canopy is fully inflated and the unit is ready to be used. 

              *Not shown, about 5-10 minutes to set-up the interior infrastructure. Though not necessary for the integral architecture, the interior frame provides additional wind  support and the ability to store equipment over-head.
