JMICs make it easier to move supplies by
forklift than having loose boxes on pallets
JMICs can be stacked and
shipped in ISO containers
JMICs can be top-
or side-loaded
The JMIC
is also
helicopter
sling-lift
capable using
corner post
lift eyes.
Ultimately, when
you open the ISO
container you find
broken boxes,
loose contents and
damaged equipment
.
it’s a
mess
you
can do
with-
out.
But there
is
a weapon
in your storage and
shipment arsenal that
will help you reduce
wasted space and
damage to equipment.
it’s called the
Joint Modular
Intermodal
Container—JMIC.
The JMIC maximizes
the use of space
and protects
cargo for
transportation.
The JMIC has
proven to be
much more than
just another
box by providing
useful storage in
deployed settings.
The fully
assembled JMIC
is 52 inches long,
44 inches wide and
43 inches tall.
However, JMICs
can be collapsed
to roughly a
third
of their
size when not
being used.
Empty, the JMIC
weighs 329 pounds
but has a gross
weight capacity
of 3,000 pounds.
They can be top-
or side-loaded.
JMICs can be
stacked and
locked together,
have internal
quick-release
cargo restraints,
and include a
built-in space
for RFID SAVI
654 tags.
JMICs can be collapsed
and stacked for
shipment or storage
JMIC use in
OIF, OEF and
elsewhere
has shown
its ability to
consolidate
cargo, reducing
the number of
trucks, ships
or planes
needed to
move it.
That translates
into lower
distribution
costs and
fewer Soldiers
at risk during
distribution and
retrograde
operations.
JMICs can be used
as supply room
storage containers,
protecting contents
from weather and
pilferage.
The ability to drop the front
panel allows easy access
to contents, and storage
shelves and bins can be
developed for use as Class
IX storage centers.
JMICs come in
three
colors:
