474-MEDCHEST6 Medical Transport Chest with Wheels

When a field hospital is set up in minutes and lives depend on having the right supplies at hand, the container holding those supplies cannot be the weakest link. The 474-MEDCHEST6 is a heavy-duty wheeled medical transport chest engineered for exactly these moments — built from rotationally molded polyethylene that stands up to battlefield handling, disaster zones, and the full climate range from −29 °C to +60 °C.

Built to Absorb Punishment

The one-piece polyethylene shell resists impacts, corrosion, UV radiation, and temperature extremes that would crack or warp lesser containers. Large stacking ribs running the length of the body lock multiple units into stable towers — critical when space is at a premium inside transport vehicles or when chests are stacked three-high in a forward operating base. Despite the rugged build, the 474-MEDCHEST6 weighs just 18.6 kg empty, keeping it manageable even when every kilogram of carry capacity counts.

Rapid Access, Uncompromised Security

Twin spring-loaded latches hold the lid firmly shut against vibration, bumps, and accidental knocks during transport, yet release with a single motion when time is critical. An automatic pressure-relief valve prevents vacuum lock after altitude changes or rapid temperature swings — no more fighting a stuck lid at 3,000 m. The chest's materials are chemical agent decontaminable, so it can be thoroughly cleaned and sterilised between deployments without degrading the shell. An integrated ID plate and 3 × 5 card holder make contents identification immediate, even when chests are stacked or stored in low-light environments. Comfort-grip handles provide a secure hold during manual carries, while the integrated edge casters let a single person roll the fully loaded chest with ease. Optional molded-in graphics allow permanent, mission-specific markings that won't fade or peel.

Capacity and Specifications

The 474-MEDCHEST6 offers an interior volume of 0.162 m³, with an internal depth of 47.3 cm (23.5 cm in the lid, 23.8 cm in the base) — enough space for bulkier diagnostic equipment, IV bags, trauma kits, or pharmaceutical inventory. Available in four operational colours: Black, Desert Tan, OD Green, and Fire Retardant Odd Green to suit mission colour-coding requirements.
