Franklin makes a comprehensive range of portable and rapid-deployment shelters, tents and hangers to UK, US and NATO requirements.

J & S Franklin Ltd has 60 years' experience in the manufacture of tents and shelters to all requirements and specifications. The Company is a major supplier of shelters and personal equipment to the British MoD, as well as many other governments and organisations.


It operates a quality management system assessed to the quality system standard BS EN ISO 9000:2000.

The GP shelters have a lightweight tubular frame providing high strength and stability. Being of modular design, they can be extended and joined for field hospitals or shelter complex.

Franklin makes the shelters for the Operational Field Catering System (OFCS) and more than 1400 have now been supplied to the UK MoD.


The OFCS Shelter is based on the standard 12’ x 12’ shelter tent, modified with heat-resistant fabrics and cut-outs in the roof for the OFCS cooker chimneys. The Shelters will be used operationally to house the OFCS modular cooking equipment supplied by Karcher.

CBRN protective liners are made of CBRN-resistant materials and Franklin manufactures a range of Unhardened Collective Protection Systems (UCPS) for transportable cabins and buildings. These can be designed to interface with various vehicles and containers.

Camouflage Systems

Franklin manufactures camouflage nets and concealment sets for woodland, desert and snow conditions, for protection against detection in the visible, thermal and radar wavebands.

Inflatables

Franklin is supplying the MoD with a range of full-size inflatable decoy targets for training. The inflatables offer realistic visual, radar and thermal image signatures and are rapidly deployed in less than 15 minutes. A range of inflatable shelters is also provided.
