Anyone seen a customised 40ft Shipping container used for a portable hangar?
Am looking into customising an open 40ft container by attaching a 4mt (13.2ft) pitched roof to the container (after it's delivered to our site)...
It'll be for the B206 Jetranger. (Dimensions for the B206 are 39.1ft x 6.8ft x 11.7ft - Max blade height)
It's a tight fit but it'll fit (just) - Am going to use a hydraulic lifter to get the aircraft in and out... Am also thinking along the lines of putting guiding batons on the floor so the horizontal stabilizers won't hit the sides of the container when it's guided in with the hydraulic lifter... and a "Stop" baton so the aircraft has to stop before the blade touches the back of the container wall.
Anyone done this?, any pictures anywhere? All ideas and suggestions welcome...
Thanks for your help in advance...
Regards,
kopter.
