AZM Medium Duty Low Pressure Inflatable Shelters
Our AZM medium-duty, low-pressure blow-up shelters are the ideal solution for operations that require a stable shelter with generous interior volume and high transportability. This low-maintenance soft shelter can be easily transported, packed, and assembled. The fabrics used are water repellent, and the high-frequency welding assembly technique ensures a waterproof seal and the possibility of use in a wide range of climates. These shelters come with high tear resistance and great tensile strength.
AZMs are self-erecting, inflatable, modular air shelters. All supporting elements are made of airtight fabric. The shelters can be set up by six people using electric inflators. Each module consists of 3 load-bearing parts: first, the shelter skin; second, the inflatable air beams with attached inflatable spacers; and third, the foldable aluminum tubes as additional spacers at the longitudinal sides. The modules are delivered preassembled, only the aluminum tubes must be fitted during erection. The modules are assembled in the field. The different sections (modules) are connected by zippers (shelter skin), locking pins (inflatable frame) and hook and loop fasteners.
Key benefits
- Easy to assemble and disassemble - relocatable within hours.
- Compact packaging and low weight.
- Robust, self-deployable and highly portable.
- Modular and efficient design for increased space needs.
Application areas
AZM low-pressure inflatable shelters are primarily meant to be used as army/military shelters, for civil defence operations, as part of search and rescue missions, and as emergency accommodation following natural and man-made disasters.

Product description
Shelter skin
The shelter skin is attached to the inflatable frame by locking pins and hook-and-loop fasteners to the floor. It is made of polyester fabric (26.45 oz/yd²), PVC-coated on both sides. The fabric is flame-retardant, waterproof, and rot-proof. Due to the fabric‘s high tolerance to extreme temperatures (between -22°F up to +158°F), these shelters can be used in nearly every climate. All of the fabric is fungicidally and UV-treated. The high tear resistance and tensile strength meet the expectations of a long-lasting cover, provided that the shelter is properly maintained, as described in the manual.
Frame
Inflatable tubular frame made of airtight polyester fabric (32 oz/yd²) coated on both sides with PVC. Foldable aluminum tubes are used between the eaves arches. Flooring made of double-sided, grey, PVC-coated polyester fabric (24.70 oz/yd²). The flooring is made of double-sided, PVC-coated polyester fabric (24.70 oz/yd²), color grey.
