A jumper’s life depends on the reliability of their chute—and the rigger who packed it. Every military parachute rigger lives by the Quartermaster Rigger’s Pledge: “I will be sure—always.”
Spacesaver stands behind that commitment with storage systems designed to protect parachutes, maintain organization, and support flawless readiness.
To help riggers around the world work with confidence, we’ve developed two purpose-built, modular storage solutions: the Parachute Container and the Parachute Rack Storage System. Each is shaped by direct feedback from military riggers and engineered to support the demanding pace of daily operations.
Parachute Container
The Spacesaver Parachute Container is built for durability and ease of use. Its welded reinforced base, heavy-duty 11-gauge steel frame, and 12-gauge diamond-perforated panels provide long-lasting strength and ventilation. Rigging teams enjoy full access with top panels that lift and pivot completely out of the way—streamlining loading, inspection, and retrieval.
Forklift access on all four sides ensures simple movement across the facility, in storage, or during rapid deployment needs.
| Size | Width | Length | Height | Empty Weight | T-11 Capacity | T-11R Capacity | MC6 Capacity |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Standard | 52.5” | 60.25” | 53.75” | 750 lbs | 30 | 75 | 27 |
| Large | 55.5” | 80.25” | 58.75” | 930 lbs | 42 | 150 | 45 |
Pair the Parachute Container with Spacesaver’s ActivRAC® Mobilized Storage System to dramatically increase storage capacity—often doubling it—without adding square footage. Rigging teams gain more room to work, better organization, and faster access to mission-critical chutes.
Spacesaver’s Cantilever Rack for Parachutes is designed for organizations that want a safe, user-friendly way to store bagged or packed parachutes. The system keeps chutes off the floor, out of harm’s way, and easily accessible during busy rigging schedules.
For even greater efficiency, the Cantilever Rack can be mounted on a mobile storage system or on a caster base for maximum flexibility. Whether in an armory, training facility, or centralized rigging shop, it helps ensure every chute is protected and ready when needed.
From daily storage to rapid deployment environments, Spacesaver’s parachute storage solutions ensure organization, protection, and operational readiness for every mission.
SpacesaverVA's Parachute Storage Solutions are purpose-built storage systems designed to safely organize, protect, and store military parachutes and related equipment. Available options include secure Parachute Containers and modular Parachute Rack Storage Systems that help maintain equipment readiness while maximizing available storage space.
These systems are ideal for military installations, airborne units, parachute rigging facilities, special operations commands, training centers, National Guard facilities, and any organization responsible for storing and maintaining personnel parachutes.
Proper storage helps protect parachutes from damage, contamination, snagging, and unnecessary wear while keeping them organized for inspections, maintenance, and rapid deployment. Organized storage also supports accountability and operational readiness.
SpacesaverVA offers two primary solutions:
Yes. The systems are designed to store a variety of military parachutes, including T-11, T-11R, MC6, and other packed parachute configurations. Adjustable rack arms allow facilities to accommodate changing equipment requirements.
Yes. Parachute containers include four-way forklift access for easy transport, while Parachute Rack Storage Systems can be installed on caster bases or integrated with ActivRAC® High-Density Mobile Storage Systems for increased flexibility and storage density.
The racks use non-reactive materials, rounded corners, and deburred edges to minimize the risk of snagging, punctures, abrasion, or material degradation during storage.
Yes. Cantilever arms are horizontally adjustable with virtually unlimited positioning and vertically adjustable in 6-inch increments, allowing the system to adapt to various parachute sizes and future storage requirements.
Integrating Parachute Containers or Rack Systems with ActivRAC® mobile storage can significantly increase storage capacity—often doubling it within the same footprint—while maintaining quick access and organized inventory management.
Yes. The containers feature heavy-duty 11-gauge steel frames, reinforced welded bases, and rugged construction specifically engineered for demanding military operations and long-term service.
Yes. SpacesaverVA designs customized storage solutions based on your facility layout, operational workflow, inventory volume, and mission requirements. Systems can be configured for fixed installations, mobile storage, or future expansion.
Yes. SpacesaverVA provides complete project support, including facility assessment, storage design, professional installation, and ongoing service throughout Virginia, Washington D.C., and the Mid-Atlantic region. Their team works with military organizations to deliver storage solutions that improve organization, security, and mission readiness.
