Foldable modules:
the difference is in the transport

12 units per 40'HQ container. Deployed in 15 min with 2 people. Q235B steel, Class A rock wool, CE / ISO 9001 / SGS certifications.

Concept

What is a foldable module?

Foldable habitable modules are Q235B steel structures designed to be transported in compact form (360 mm height) and deployed on site in 15 minutes. Up to 12 units travel in a standard truck, reducing logistics costs compared to traditional rigid modules by the same proportion.

The foldable module in action

The module is transported with the walls and roof folded over the base. On site, two people deploy it in minutes without construction tools.

15 min
Total deployment

From folded to habitable in 15 minutes with a crane.

2 people
Required crew

No construction crew needed. Two operators and a crane.

No works
Tools

No welding, scaffolding, or wet construction required.

360 mm
Folded height

Fits in a standard truck when folded. 12 u. per 40HQ.

Logistics advantage

Up to 12 units per 40-foot container. Lower volume per transported unit. With our own fleet we coordinate transport to site anywhere in the country.

Uses in camp

Bedrooms, offices, dining hall, and services, depending on the chosen configuration.

What does each spec mean?

Specifications explained

Rock wool

We don't use EPS (styrofoam). It's Class A fire-rated: it doesn't spread fire. Insulates against cold and high-altitude noise.

Grade 10 seismic

Scale 1 to 12. Grade 10 withstands very high-intensity earthquakes, above what is required in Argentine seismic zones.

Wind Level 11

Withstands gusts of 100–120 km/h. Designed for Zonda winds and high-altitude conditions.

Galvanized Q235B steel

Zinc-coated structure. Protects against rust and corrosion in environments with snow and extreme humidity.

MGO floor

Magnesium oxide: non-combustible mineral (Class A). Doesn't swell with water or warp in the cold.

Concave-convex seal

Patented mechanical interlocking, without adhesive or gaskets that degrade. Permanent weather-tightness.

Stainless 304 hinges

Surgical steel, +1,000 fold cycles. Rust-free. One fold per week = over 19 years of service life.

15 min with crane

Crane required for lifting. The full process takes 15 minutes with 2 people once in position.

Frequently asked questions

What clients ask us most

  • The price of a folding module varies with the number of units, the interior finish and the delivery destination. Importing it directly from the factory gives better value than a module built on site. Request your quote and we reply within 24 business hours.
