  In recent years, many Western Shelter customers have added customized trailers to their shelter system specifications in order to provide storage and instant transport, additional billeting, and scene management to their response capability. Trailers have become important aspects of taking the response team to the incident, whether it’s across town or for cross-country mutual aid.

  Custom features include multi-functional benefits to response teams, such as:

   

  • Integrated Command Center with custom cabinetry and finishes
  • Mounted onboard generator and shore-power electrical distribution
  • Hydraulic expansions to increase square footage
  • Communications, Cat 5, IT, satellite integration
  • Heavy-duty cargo securement systems

  • Full width undercarriage slide-out storage systems
  • Centralized slide-out 12v control system
  • Locking slide-out entry platforms with detachable stairs and stainless steel handrails
  • Roof observation platforms
  • Custom deployment schemes based on mission requirements

  The entire staff for Western Shelter Mobility Systems was recruited from highly respected custom vehicle manufacturers. Our managers and production people all held similar positions in their previous companies, so we bring over 75 combined years of experience to our current projects. The expanded operation is led by the design and engineering team of Al Shattuck and Mike Cheever.

  The company is dedicated to producing your specialized trailer or coach on time, on budget, and to the highest quality in the customized manufacturing business. Whatever customized requirements necessary to support the mission and scope of the client are available from Western Shelter Mobility Systems.

  This expansion by Western Shelter Systems builds on the already considerable successes that Western Shelter has had in providing customized trailers for the American disaster response community. Deliveries in 2007 and 2008 range from customized 12-foot cargo trailers; to 53-foot, fully self-contained Mobile Response Trailer Systems with 50-bed GateKeeper field hospitals; to fully-operational satellite communications command centers with 200 bed billeting systems.

  Western Shelter has worked closely with its federal, state, and local customers to create storage, transport, and operational vehicles that precisely fit their mission and scope.
