Full Description

NOTE!! This item is located in Fairbanks Alaska. Read “Removal Instructions” very carefully before placing bid. NOTE!! See New Pick Up Hours Below. NOTE!! Please Be Prepared To Load Items Yourself. Condition: Poor This lot consists of one (1) Craig Systems Inc. helicopter hut, also referred to as a field shelter or utility enclosure. The manufacturer has been identified as Craig Systems Inc.; however, the model is unknown. This unit has been rated as being in poor condition due to visible exterior wear, cosmetic damage, and significant interior wear resulting from previous use and prolonged exposure to the elements. Additionally, the access handle attached to the door is very stiff and reluctant to movement. Making the closing of the door exceedingly difficult. Despite the exterior damage, none of the observed holes or exterior damage penetrate into the interior of the structure. The interior exhibits heavy wear throughout. Most notably, sections of the interior ceiling have experienced delamination and peeling of the interior surface layer. Additionally, cardboard boxes previously stored inside developed mold due to elevated interior humidity. While the boxes have been removed, bidders should expect the interior to have been exposed to prolonged moisture and should inspect and remediate the unit as they deem appropriate prior to use. Despite its condition, the shelter retains numerous built-in features that may make it suitable for restoration, repurposing, storage, or other utility applications. Exterior Features: One (1) exterior AC power input connection. One (1) front ventilation opening. One (1) exterior-to-interior pipe penetration, believed to have been intended for a water connection or similar utility (exact purpose unknown). One (1) roof-mounted vent with chimney. Interior Features: Four (4) installed and mounted light fixtures. Eight (8) standard electrical receptacles. One (1) non-standard electrical receptacle (voltage and intended application unknown). One (1) interior electrical circuit breaker panel. One (1) rear-mounted ventilation fan exhausting to the exterior. One (1) rear opening originally intended to function as an open-air window, currently sealed by paint. Construction: While no exact composition is known. It is believed that the exterior paneling is aluminum with insolation between exterior and interior paneling. Interior Dimensions (Approximate): Height: 76 inches Width: 77.5 inches Depth: 135 inches Overall Exterior Dimensions (Approximate): Height: 79.75 inches (chimney height not included in measurement) Width: 81 inches Depth: 138.5 inches This shelter is being offered in its current condition. Prospective bidders are encouraged to carefully review all photographs to assess the overall cosmetic condition, wear, and included features.
