• It also allows unloading by light cranes and even by hand if there are enough troops available.

Purchase and Supply

• The first Merav’s were supplied to the IDF in April 2015
• Up to 100 units can be supplied in the first month and 200 units and more every additional month.

Air lifted protection

The Merav is the first shelter that can be air lifted with a cargo hook attached to a CH-53 helicopter and a C-130 aircraft.

This feature means it can be deployed in remote and inaccessible locations as well as on high ground as a forward base.

Equipment needed for Assembly

Up to two Merav units can be transported on a single, standard, IDF or civilian truck and up to four units on a flat-bed semitrailer.

Loading and unloading can be facilitated with a 30-ton crane, a Rio “Arrow”, a 5 ton fork lift truck and even a power shovel.

The Merav can also be towed into a threat area by an armored tractor.

The Merav can be supplied with a special trailer that can be towed by a regular truck.
