Worldwide standard modularlengths: 3.0 m (10 ft), 6.1 m (20 ft)and 12.2 m (40 ft).
Modules readily shipped by sea,rail, road or air.
Adaptable to common methods oflocal transportation, either tempo-rary (put on truck or trailer) orpermanent (attach wheels tomodule).
Generous usable interior dimen-sions designed and equipped percustomer requirements.
Pre-finished aluminum walls andceiling; thick aluminum diamond-plate floor, R-10 insulation, fire-proof construction.
The ISO international sea freightcontainer available in standardmodular sizes is commonly recom-mended because of the myriad vehicleregulations around the world. Con-tainer modules then are mated withsuitable vehicles available in, andconforming to rules in, the destinationcountry.Laboratories based on these modulesare spacious and comfortable. Theircompletely finished interiors includeheating, air conditioning, lighting andelectrical distribution. Based on userrequirements, Canberra designs thelaboratory, selects and installs equip-ment, and provides training throughits worldwide service organization.Usable interior dimensions are 2.41 m(95 in.) high, 2.26 m (89 in.) wide and2.3 m (7.6 ft), 5.4 m (17.6 ft) or 11.4 m(37.6 ft) long.

What is the Best Type of Vehicle?Vehicle motors and drive trains requireregular maintenance and may besubject to unexpected problems.Depending on needs, a tractor-trailer-based laboratory can provide a reliableoption. With a truck or van, a defectivemotor makes the entire laboratoryunusable. However, with a tractor-trailer arrangement, the tractor unitwith motor and drive train can bequickly replaced.Counting systems and allied equipmentoften are quite heavy and must beproperly placed in vehicles designedfor such loads. Small vehicles requireclever techniques to comply withvehicle load specifications, roadregulations, and still provide a usefulworking laboratory.
Canberras Turnkey SolutionsCanberra supplies turnkey mobilelaboratory solutions, which includelaboratory design, equipment selection,installation, calibration and training.Most of the mobile testing laboratorieslisted were completely designed byCanberra. They draw on our expertiseas a manufacturer of radiation detec-tion systems and years of experienceproviding solutions to practicalapplications.
