Weight was a major design consideration, the maximum permissible towing weight on UK roads is 3500kg, utilizing traditional 10ft ISO Containers as a Trailer mounted platform was quickly dismissed as too heavy and impractical. We needed to constantly track weight and utilize as many light materials and parts as possible, we couldn’t reduce the weight of Bars,Discs,Kettlebells and other equipment items. This required both aluminium and stainless steel materials to be incorporated as well as insulation panels for the box.
One of the most inspired innovations was to design the Box frame to include a vertical rail system that would provide further structural integrity whilst creating attachment points for a multitude of accessories and configurations, mirrored inside for storage. This allowed for a Patent application to be filed. Previous trailer type gyms either included sliding Racks that pulled out from the Box interior wasting internal storage space or rotating out adding to the width and always exposed to weather. Both of these solutions required Racks to be permanently fixed to the Box Body.
Rather than incorporating a standard Rack design we approached the MTP in a different way making attachments longer which also reduced weight and structure. Bar Hooks and safety spot arms are almost twice as long as conventional Lifting racks and a user has to fit these anyway on similar products
