EHMECC
Raising the roof on 20′ expanding container capability.
EHMECC offers the most deployed volume of any expanding container.
The Extended Height MECC (EHMECC) takes the proven MECC platform and elevates it—literally. By raising the roof an additional 1.2m (4ft), EHMECC offers a unique capability unmatched in the field. This increase in height provides operators with more usable space, enabling specialized missions that demand extraordinary interior volume. Whether for command, logistics, or medical use, EHMECC delivers flexibility that reshapes what’s possible with ISO container-based deployable solutions.
Unprecedented deployed volume with unmatched operational versatility worldwide
No other 20ft ISO expanding container delivers the deployed volume of EHMECC. Once opened, it provides one-third the footprint for full floor space, creating massive logistical savings. The wing system deploys quickly while protecting personnel, equipment, and sensitive materials from the elements. Its robust design means military and civilian operators can scale up infrastructure rapidly without compromise. EHMECC’s expanded internal capacity sets a new standard for deployed facilities across mission types and environments.
Key Features
A deployed volume like no other expandable 20 ft ISO container.
Raised roof provides for many unique applications such as; engine hoists and surgical theatres.
Specialist fabric wings deliver exceptional weather performance whilst maintaining the internal environment.
Transports like any other 20 ft ISO container
No specialist tools required for a deployment that will get you operational in less than 10 minutes.
Can be deployed whilst on a truck.
Very low training and maintenance requirement due to the innovative design features.
Many years of operational usage
Optional systems transform EHMECC into a complete operational hub
EHMECC can be delivered fully fitted with a range of operational systems. Options include power generation, HVAC, tactical lighting, insulated flooring, and mechanical plant rooms. Window and door configurations can be tailored to the mission, while specialized electrical and network installations enhance functionality. Whether configured as a command post, medical facility, or maintenance workshop, EHMECC delivers more than shelter—it becomes a mission-ready hub of operations, enabling sustained performance in demanding environments.
Increased height enables extraordinary applications in the field
Once deployed, EHMECC offers 3,658 mm (144 inches) of interior height, creating an environment suited for specialized uses beyond typical shelters. Applications include engine maintenance bays, surgical theaters, or large-scale communications centers. This vertical capacity makes EHMECC uniquely capable of hosting operations that standard container solutions simply cannot support. By raising the roof, operators gain a whole new capability set that broadens the operational envelope and maximizes mission effectiveness.
Transported like any 20ft ISO container across all domains
Despite its advanced features, EHMECC retains the logistical simplicity of a standard 20ft ISO container. It can be handled by forklifts, cranes, or palletized load systems, and is fully CSC certified for transport by air, sea, and land. At just 8ft high in transport mode, EHMECC fits military cargo aircraft including the C-130, C-17, C-5, and A400M. This ensures global deployability, seamless logistics, and integration into existing military and commercial transport networks.
Options
EHMECC can be delivered with a variety of standard options, as well limitless bespoke options which we would love to discuss with you.
Lighting options including green / red auto switching.
Integrated HVAC mounted to the ceiling or plantroom
Integrated networks, secure or insecure.
Various window, venting, and cable port options.
Hard doors for the soft side wings.
Integrated display mounts that rise with the roof.
Bespoke floor attachments to mount / swivel your equipment whilst remaining transport compliant.
Multiple colours.
Superior design simplifies deployment while saving critical operational time
EHMECC is engineered for simplicity and speed. Deployment requires no specialized tools, no extensive training, and takes under 10 minutes to become operational. It can even be deployed while still on a truck, reducing setup time in challenging or dangerous locations. The design also minimizes maintenance requirements, ensuring years of reliable service in the field. For militaries and emergency responders, EHMECC’s rapid setup provides a decisive advantage in mission-critical situations.
Rapid deployment, limitless applications, and scalable interconnected facilities.
EHMECC is designed for flexibility, scalability, and speed. Units can be interconnected with other expandable containers and soft-shelter systems to form larger facilities such as hospitals, command centers, or workshops. Deployment takes less than 20 minutes, protecting equipment until the moment it’s needed. With limitless configurations, optional systems, and bespoke modifications, EHMECC transforms rapidly from container to fully functional facility, supporting military and civilian missions alike wherever fast, reliable infrastructure is required.
