Sheerspeed’s specially developed Blue, White or Black PVC cover material for the Police & Forensic tents is unique to our company, offering properties:

·        Lightweight and Strong
·        PVC coated on both sides of the material for easy cleaning inside and out.
·        PVC material provides a more professional and longer lasting appearance in comparison to other single sided PVC or PU coated materials
·        Waterproof
·        Material density prevents silhouetting and any visual transparency
·        Easily repaired
·        Specifically weighted to enhance tent stability when in operation
·        The Translucent PVC material used in the tent roof (uniquely offered by Sheerspeed) offers maximum natural light ingress into the tent work area making it easy to operate and see within the totally enclosed tent
·        Covered roof panels for blackout forensic work
·        Flame Retardant, UV Stabilised
·        Speedtents can be joined together

 
SHEERSPEED Product advantages:
·             Sheerspeed, the only manufacturer to produce fully translucent PVC tents using RF Welding processes giving the advantages of stronger joints that are fully water tight.
·             Easier to erect – Due to less flexing in the material and rods the erecting process is more direct and therefore quicker
·             Rubber feeted with marine nitrile grade and reinforced – This gives tents a longer life preventing rods from wearing through bottom of tent and becoming inoperative
·             Centre joint protection – Marine reinforced rubber disc specially designed where the rods pass through holes in the rubber disc. This ensures that the operator’s fingers do not get trapped in the joint mechanism. The design also totally covers the Die cast joint preventing the conductivity path.
·             Reinforced Translucent PVC material
o       Allows maximum natural light through into tent work area. No false blinding white light as experienced with white Nylon/Polyester material tents. Many claims are made of translucency where white solid woven polyester fabric materials are involved, these claims are entirely false.
o       Flame Retardant to BS7837 – 1996 (The HSE work Industry Standard)
o       Light source can be used from outside the tent and shone through the cover material to provide additional light; this reduces the amount of equipment placed inside the tent therefore giving more available work space
·             PVC tents have a weight advantage over lighter fabric tents due to better stability and less prone to wind effects.
·             Rear door design – This allows entrance and exit from tent when either placed against a wall or when tents are joined together
·             Additional guy line points can be added in the top 4 corners internally or externally. Internal guy points allow for tent security to cabinets being covered by the tent.

Repair ability – replacement parts available for all framework parts and covers can be repaired.

Customers receive a personalised service of matching their operational requirements to a tent design that delivers efficient product application in the field of operation at standard prices.

Unlike other competitor offered tents the Sheerspeed tent has been engineered to offer the optimum weight and stability balance during operational use. This fine balance includes a weight within the safe carrying load of a single operator. Lighter tents whilst offering operator carrying weight advantages significantly compromise tent stability making them more prone to deformation and movement during use.

 

We are so confident about our tent performance and quality standards that we offer a 1 year guarantee against manufacturing defects. Each tent is manufactured by Sheerspeed and is fully tested and over checked prior to dispatch in accordance with our ISO9001.2000 accreditation.

SUPERfume-TENT
The SUPERfume-TENT is a rapidly deployed enclosure for use with portable cyanoacrylate fuming system - SUPERfume. The tent has internal dimensions of 6m x 3m x 2m and is ideal for the fuming and subsequent examination of cars and small commercial vehicles.
The weatherproof tent can be erected on hard or soft ground and once the frame has been expanded and the roof is in place it can be lifted and moved into position, causing minimum disturbance to the crime scene. Once in position the side walls are attached to the frame and the fuming process can be initiated.
Efficient seals ensure that levels of humidity and cyanoacrylate vapour are maintained at effective levels. Should larger areas be required several frames can be linked together.

SUPERfume-TENT includes:
  • Heavy Duty PU coated 7oz polyester Canopy & Sides.
  • Heavy Duty PVC transport bags.
  • Guy Lines and ground spikes.
  • Hard standing ballast kit.
  • Robust weatherproof construction.
  • Inspection window.
  • Weight approx. 70kg.

Available sizes: 8 x 4m 6 x 3m   4.5 x 3m   3 x 3m
The modular system allows for the joining together of tents to cover larger areas

TENT SECURITY

Ballast Bags/Sand Bags/Stakes/Weights
For use with Marquee/Concertina or Speedtents

For securing tents on hard ground, preventing tent damage during poor weather conditions.

Hard Standing Kits

To increase the use of your Marquee on Hard surfaces where it is not possible to use pegs. We offer a kit comprising Heavy plates and Ground rails to weight the Marquee with a design offering the flexibility for adding additional weights where necessary.

  • Gravel or Water, either can be attached at the incident scene. The advantage with this design is that the weight is attached directly to the tent preventing weights from becoming dislodged and ineffective. Additionally it is not necessary for heavy sand bags to be carried in the support vehicle reducing its payload, allowing the saved weight for carrying other important equipment.
  • Traditional sand bags are manufactured from heavy-duty PVC reinforced fabric for long lasting and prevention to piercing and broken bags. Available in all colours – 20kg

SCREENING

Two systems available:
Speedtent system (PVC or Polyester) & Modular

PVC – Speedtent Screening

Image 1

Quick erect temporary portable screening for screening off areas from public viewing. Due to its modular design additional sections can be added at any time.

The features that set Sheerspeed’s screening above the standard:
 
Rubber Feet fitted (unlike the market standard) top and bottom allowing the screen to be quickly erected any way up giving longer product life.
 
Centre joint protection – Complete cover of centre die cast Aluminium joint to prevent operator pinching fingers. Fibre rods pass through the Marine rubber disc giving total protection to fingers
 
Screening material - The screening material is a heavy duty reinforced PVC material coated on BOTH sides. Because it is PVC coated both sides screens can be put away wet ready for next time. Other fabrics which are PU coated or single sided PVC coated will suffer from mildew and discolouration
Flame Retardant and UV stabilised
 
Screening height is 2m giving better visual protection than the standard 1.8m which is more easily overlooked by press and members of the public.
 
Screening design The Sheerspeed design to achieve the 7.2m length is split into two sections. This greatly assists in the assembly process making it easier and quicker for the operator. A continuous 7.2m length is difficult to layout requiring more space to erect and keeping the screen upright as you pop up each joint is very difficult where often the screen keeps falling over.
 
Covered area The split screen allows the use of one of the sections to be used for covering areas or evidence on the ground when positioned as a ridge tent
 
Additional Screening  sections can be added to increase the screen length. Available section sizes 3.6m x 2m or 1.8m x 2m
Our design allows for screens located at different locations to be joined together at an incident. Additional screens can be ordered at a later date to be added to an original order.
 
Hard standing kit provides support and unlimited adjustment in order to protect against the elements and adjust to the available space on location. Poles are securely attached to the screen by full length sleeves making their attachment a solid fix reducing any swaying.
(Fibre glass poles can be supplied to have a fully Non-conductive unit)
 
Screen attachment to Speedtents Screens can be attached to Speedtents to give additional privacy and controlled entrance into tents. (See picture of Red screening and tent below)
 
Heavy duty carry bag storage for complete kit including Hard standing kit. Material is PVC coated both sides
 
Colour choice Screens can be a single colour or two colours of your choice
 
Sizes Sheerspeed can design & supply any size screen to customer dimension

Storage: Screens can be folded away wet and stored without concern to deterioration
