”BIG MQ" Large Air Shelter
This large air shelter is resistant to strong winds and can be set up quickly.
BIG MQ is a large air-beam type shelter that can be quickly set up and taken down by human workers without the use of heavy machinery. It can be used for various purposes such as evacuation shelters during disasters, temporary medical facilities, event venues, and work site sheds.
Safety is taken into consideration, with everything from design to manufacturing being done in Japan. We also provide complete maintenance support, including on-site parts replacement.

Features
Unique dual-tube air beam joint structure
The air beam is of the inner bag type (double tube type) which is airtight and easy to maintain.
The main beam diameter is 70 cmφ and the sub-beam diameter is 50 cmφ, each of which can be disassembled. This structure allows for compact storage and on-site maintenance. It is also possible to change the dimensions of the design as needed.
Setup Procedures
Each part is transported to the installation site by cart or other means. After positioning the column legs and unfolding the roof membrane, the beam and the column leg cage are tied together.
Air up (expansion)
The electric blower blows the air to stretch the sheets. (The stretching process is completed in about 10 minutes after the air blower starts.)
Reliable safety
Large products require greater safety, and the BIG MQ was designed using finite element analysis based on many years of experience with membrane structures, as well as a variety of demonstration tests.
Sufficient weights are placed on the column legs and tent perimeter, and an internal pressure controller is provided to maintain the required internal pressure for the air beam.
