Unpacking the CMAX: What's in the box?
Imagine a structure that's 19.6 feet long, 7.4 feet wide, and 7.2 feet high. Now, picture that entire thing folding down into an approximately 400-pound box that can fit in the back of your pickup or on a trailer. That's the CMAX for you. It's a solid-floored unit that's also an easily relocatable temporary building.

From box to building in 11 minutes flat
This isn't some flimsy pop-up tent. The CMAX is a robust structure that two people can set up in just 11 minutes without any special tools. It's raised off the ground with 20 height-adjustable feet, making it stable on most relatively flat surfaces. The telescopic legs can handle height differences of up to 5 in from one end to the other. It expands from a 3-foot storage space to a 14-foot living space that is able to comfortably sleep eight people.

Versatility is its middle name
The CMAX System is a jack-of-all-trades. It can serve as a temporary storage unit, a mobile medical clinic or laboratory, or even provide a luxurious glamping experience. Its rigid central structure allows for some serious upgrades.

Tech-savvy shelter: The future of CMAX
CMAX isn't just resting on its laurels. They're developing a SmartCmax mobile app that will connect to your iPhone and other iOS devices using Bluetooth. This will allow you to control your portable shelter from your smartphone.

The price tag: Too good to be true?
Now, here's where it gets interesting. The CMAX System is priced at $8,000. But don't go rushing to their website with your credit card just yet. The buying process is a bit... unconventional. When you try to buy a CMAX, they might try to sell you shares in the company instead. Odd? Yes. But don't worry, you can still get your hands on one without becoming a shareholder. Just be prepared for a unique shopping experience.
