Cost Comparison

By having no secondary containers, the military is using countless man-hours and incurring significant equipment damage during deployment and redeployment. Supplies, money, and ultimately lives are lost during sustainment by not effectively using the full capacity of delivery vehicles and equipment.

Existing storage containers in use by the military are often made of cardboard sides with plastic tops and bottoms held together by small clips. Unfortunately, these are not adequate for most of the military’s uses. Simple weather conditions, such as light rain or snow, can weaken these boxes to the point of rendering them useless. When these containers are tipped, the top often separates from the sidewall tearing the cardboard slots and exposing or dumping the container contents. Together, all of these issues reduce the military’s efficiency and cause unnecessary effort to be placed on transporting and storing equipment and supplies.

MulePAC is the solution to all of these logistical problems. Double layer cross fluted plastic sidewalls combined with 6000 lb corner straps are part of MulePAC’s superior structural integrity which provides the ultimate protection for critical equipment and supplies. Designed for all weather conditions, MulePAC protects its contents to the last tactical mile. MulePAC’s size configurations have been carefully planned to effectively match military vehicles, allowing the maximum use of space without compromising protection.

While MulePAC may have a higher initial cost than some of its competitors, you can see that the savings in damaged equipment and efficiency will more than make up for it. The ability to deliver critical supplies in fewer trips by maximizing space will put fewer soldiers in harms way, ultimately saving lives in the war zone.
