See all features

    “Hurry Up” 30-Minute Folding Design

    Our original folding technology allows unmatched 30-minute assembly.

    “Bring It” Mobility

    Folds down quickly with all parts together, making relocations effortless.

    “Steel Sturdy” Construction

    Interior and exterior steel cladding provides greater durability.

    “Fire-Free” Performance

    Steel walls resist combustion—unlike FRP or fiberglass structures that can burn.

    Non-Toxic,
    No-Drip Polyiso Insulation

    Won’t burn, release toxic fumes, or drip molten plastic like polystyrene insulation can.

    “Keep It Comfortable” Energy Efficiency

    Compliant polyiso insulation (standard R-6, with higher options available) keeps occupants warm in winter and cool in summer.

    “See the Light” Egress Windows

    Large casement swing windows meet egress code and provide natural light and airflow.

    “Let It Blow / Let It Snow” Stability

    Standard models handle 50 psf roof loads and 170 mph wind loads without extra cost.

    Integrated 6-Inch Steel Base & Forklift Sleeves

    Built-in structural steel base for added insulation, water-block, and forklift-friendly mobility.

    “Griptonite” Anti-Slip Floors

    Special anti-slip coating that doubles as a moisture barrier.

    “Any Zone” Code Compliant

    Fully meets building, fire, and IEEC energy codes in any zone.

    “Biggest Bang for the Buck”

    Get more space, better materials, and faster assembly/disassembly—delivering superior value overall.
