ABSTRACT:
A standard cargo container is reconstructed into a readily transportable hospital unit for providing emergency treatment to injured survivors at a site of a major disaster, wherein the structural features embodied by the container contribute to its transportability to the disaster site (except, of course, instead of cargo, the container houses medical facilities and supplies), and subsequently at the site the container has surface transportability as a result of internal combustion engine-operated front wheels and hydraulically-operated rear wheels. The rear wheels also have the noteworthy operating mode of being extendable and retractable so as to maintain a horizontal orientation in the container during the loading and unloading thereof from a cargo-type aircraft.
