Rotary Wing Aviation Maintenance
Although the idea behind the SHARKCAGE was for prepositioning of equipment. Modules which could go quickly from storage to transport soon became popular for other military logistic applications such as expeditionary hospitals, tactical operation centers or field camps. The core of the idea is to break down the equipment list into modules, which then can be combined to form different scaleable kits.

MAINTENANCE OPERATIONS
Organizing and storing equipment in SHARKCAGES brings many benefits, including increased safety for both personnel and equipment. In addition, storing equipment and parts based on maintenance phase increases efficiency, while the lockable cages reduce pilferage. The added possibility of deploying with the cage makes the SHARKCAGE the ideal solution for all branches of the military.
Having the parts removed from the phase aircraft and directly into SHARKCAGEs saves one work hour per day, per operator.
Having tool boxes readily available for work within 15ft of the work effort saves a half work hour per day, per operator.
ORGANIZE BY MAINTENANCE PHASE
Optimize aircraft maintenance sequence by organizing parts and equipment according to the order in which the aircrafts need maintenance.
MOVE CAGE TO AIRCRAFT
Move the cage containing the neccessary parts or tools directly to the aircraft.
SECURITY
All SHARKCAGES are lockable with standard issue padlocks. In addition, you can add covers that limit visibility of the contents and offer protection from the environment.
LEAN PROCESS IMPROVEMENT
Increase efficiency through reduced man hours, logistics footprint, and time.
TRANSITION SEAMLESSLY TO
Deployment
When it’s time to detach or deploy, the Sharkcage enables more efficient packing. Staging the equipment in the lockable cages increases transition speed. On the receiving end, inventory and setup time is reduced, while mirroring the home station configuration is simple.
PACK MORE EFFICIENTLY
Packing equipment in SHARKCAGES gives you a clear overview of what equipment you have packed and how much transportation capacity you need.
SIMPLIFY STAGING
Organize your packed SHARKCAGES by unit or by transportation asset. SHARKCAGES are easily secured, and can be stored outside with covers awaiting transportation.
REDUCE SETUP TIME
When arriving at destination, content is easily identified, and can be placed at the desired location by forklift or pallet jack. No need to unpack cages - content is readily available.
INCREASE ACCOUNTABILITY IN RECEIVING
With equipment organized in SHARKCAGES, you always have a clear overview of your equipment and supplies, while still maintaining a high level of security.
MAINTAIN STANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURES ON
Deployment
Utilizing SHARKCAGES in your daily operations will not only bring improvements to your home base operations. When deploying with SHARKCAGES, you can operate as you do at home. Save time and money, while also improving safety.
ADAPT TO ON-SITE INFRASTRUCTURE
No two bases are identical. With SHARKCAGES, you can still operate as you do at your home base. Set up a temporary warehouse in a container, or add covers to the cages.
SECURE HIGH-VALUE ITEMS
Sharing space with other units can sometimes require additional security for high-value items such as expensive tools or parts. All SHARKCAGES are lockable with standard issue padlocks. In addition, you can add covers that limit visibility of the contents, and offer protection from the environment.

SUCCESS STORIES
Several units have already been made fully deployable by implementing SHARKCAGES.
The SHARKCAGE is chosen not only because it is deployable, but because of the benefits the cages add at home station. Lockable cages that can be moved around by pallet jack reduce pilferage and ensure flexibility to meet future demands. Don’t hesitate to contact one of our solution advisors to help you with your logistic challenges!
