ZEPPELIN MOBILE SYSTEME GmbH
ZEPPELIN MOBILE SYSTEME GmbH (ZMS) of Germany is one of the leading manufacturers of military shelter systems in the world. The company is a direct successor of the famous ZEPPELIN airships with a tradition of more than 100 years and still today, the company’s philosophy is expressed by the slogan “rooms on the move”. ZMS was one of the first manufacturers of lightweight containers in an aluminium-sandwich-structure and meanwhile their systems are in use in more than 40 countries all over the world. They have been delivered to a large number of international companies and governmental organizations as well as to non-governmental relief and first-aid organizations.
The product range of ZMS is divided into the following major business fields:
ZMC – Zeppelin Mobile Communication
Tactical communication shelters are one of the basic products in the shelter portfolio of ZMS. They have been sold more than 10,000 times, either as stand-alone units or vehicle-mounted. They have been delivered to various Armed Forces in all common sizes such as ACE I, II and III, NATO I + II as well as in the ISO formats as 10ft, 15ft or 20ft Shelter or custom-made. The tactical shelters of ZMS are available in an unshielded version as well as HF-screened with 60 dB between a frequency range of 100 kHz - 1GHz (acc. NATO Specification 6516SHCPE/86 and MIL-STD 285). Zeppelin is the first manufacturer of lightweight shelters that offers expandable shelters (2:1 + 3:1) with a shielding level that comes close to the level of non-expandable shelters. This provides large Command Posts with up to 14 working stations with almost the same safety level as standard communication shelters.
Zeppelin is able to provide their Tactical Shelters and Command Posts not only with supply units such as air condition unit, power generator or NBC filter but also with the mechanical installation of interior equipment (racks, working stations etc.) and even with network integration.
ZMM – Zeppelin Mobile Medicare
Medical applications have become one of the most important links in the product chain of ZMS. Whether as single medical units (medical clinics) or as complete mobile field hospitals up to 200 patient beds, ZMS offers a wide range of medical appliances. Leading shelter technology combined with advanced engineering know-how in system integration allows the realization of ambitious turn-key solutions of large medical projects. From compact 10ft shelters for emergency and disaster management to large modular hospital arrangements on basis of expandable 20ft shelters, the product range of ZMS covers all medical requirements. Through co-operations with well-known suppliers of medical equipment the company corresponds to every medical demand of their clients. These suppliers also have to adhere to the high military quality standards that Zeppelin is committed to.
In addition hereto, ZMS also offers box-body ambulance vehicles for military use which can be adapted to any carrier vehicle whatsoever (Mercedes, Landrover, HUMMVE etc.).
ZMF – Zeppelin Mobile Facility
In addition to communication and medical applications, Zeppelin offers a wide range of other shelterized field systems. This ranges from individual products such a field kitchens, decontamination or water (treatment) and energy systems to complete field camp arrangements.
