When responding to an emergency event, time is critical. The GateKeeper™ System was designed to provide a rapid deployment system that would create an environment conducive to advanced medical treatment in the field.

This innovative and flexible design has made the Western Shelter GateKeeper system a trusted standard among FEMA USAR, NDMS DMAT/DMORT and SMRT response teams.

From acute care centers to pandemic and mass casualty response, our shelters provide the

mobility, durability and interoperability needed to complete the mission – anytime, anywhere.

With a wide variety of configurations including: command post/operations center, triage, staging check-in, billeting, point of distribution site, mass care, and mortuary affairs, our shelter systems allow you to respond exactly as the situation dictates.

The GateKeeper system is designed to be scalable. Additional shelters can be connected as the situation

warrants, creating mobile shelter complexes for added surge capacity and response.

What Is A Western Shelter?

The unique design of a Western Shelter provides

added strength and stability, while lightweight components allow for easy transportation and rapid

deployment.

Response teams can quickly deploy GateKeeper systems in austere conditions and inclement weather without the need of ladders, forklifts or tools.

With the addition of the Isolation Kit, the unique GateKeeper system inherently possesses the ability to be positively and negatively pressurized for medical isolation in the event of a contagious event. Adding units to the primary structure does not compromise these isolation capabilities.

With a double door entry system at 46” wide and 70” tall, each shelter allows for movement of wheeled containers, beds and other items into the shelter without obstruction. The incorporation

of a solid internal structural frame, capable of supporting up to 50 lbs, provides space to freely hang oxygen systems, heart monitors and other medical support equipment and supplies.

As a leader in the emergency shelter industry, Western Shelter Systems’ custom solutions provide everything your team needs for the best in on-scene emergency and disaster response.

The Western Shelter™ GK2360 is the largest shelter you can set up without the aid of tools, ladders or lifts. Like all Western Shelters, the GK2360 is ideally suited for emergency response field teams, military operations, alternate care sites, remote construction sites, wildland fire base camps, crime scene investigations and more.

In larger camps, this shelter can be used as a kitchen and/or dining space. It can be set up to sleep 20 persons dorm style in single bunks, or up to 40 when bunk beds are utilized. Optional wall dividers can create up to ten separate rooms including a central hallway. As office space, it will easily accomodate multiple workstations. The GK2360 works well for laundries, shower houses and combined bathroom/ablution complexes, especially where gender separation is required.

Clients are encouraged to create a precise specification from the extensive line-item list of components in the Western Shelter brand.

Key features of the GK2360 shelter:

• Providesover1,274sq.ft.ofcompletelyuseablefloorspace. • 6’verticalsidewalls,allowingallfloorspacetobefullyutilized. • Collapsesintoatightpackageeasilytransportedbygroundorair. • Sealablefloorsprotecttheshelterfromenvironmentalfactorswhile maintaininganISOpositive/negativepressureisolation. • Unitsconnectviavestibulestoformalimitlesstentcity. • Assembleanddisassemblein40to60minuteswitha6to8personcrew.

The MRTS GateKeeper system combines GateKeeper shelters with the storage capacity and instant mobility of a climate controlled 53’ trailer. Each GK 1935 is connected to the complex with its own Vestibule Connector. Because all FEMA USAR and NDMS DMAT teams (and most state and local teams) respond with Western Shelters, your shelters can be connected directly to most subsequent responders to create an ever-enlarging weatherproof complex.A trailer mounted generator powers all MRTS components and shelters with an integrated 200 gallon fuel tank. When emptied of its shelters, support equipment, and supplies, the MRTS trailer converts to billeting space with bunk beds for up to 24 people. The onboard 8.5’ x 11’ command center and the 8.5’ x 40’ cargo/billeting space are completely climate controlled. When deployed in support of any all-hazard mission, the command center in the nose of the trailer is operational as soon as the on-board generator is started.

Simply position the Vestibule Entryway at an existing double doorway to create an enclosed, weather-secure porch or entryway. Each 8’ by 8’ Vestibule Entryway comes complete with roof insulation, vinyl flooring and a privacy partition to be installed between the entryway and the main room of the shelter. With an Isolation Upgrade, the Vestibule Entryway can be easily incorporated into any existing negative/positive air isolation operations.

The Vestibule Connector is essential for increasing the flexibility and expansion capability of your shelter system. This rigid framed addition connects to each GateKeeper shelter allowing the shelters to be seamlessly integrated in a variety of configurations to form a larger shelter complex. The Vestibule Connector allows for standardized integration of your shelter with other first responders on the scene to create a larger, interagency complex.
