40' groundhog rear entry shipping container

40' Groundhog Rear Entry Overseas Shipping Configuration

The 40' Groundhog Rear Entry is a premium upgrade built exclusively for the 40' Groundhog. It moves the access point to the rear of the container, keeping every component fully enclosed within the ISO container frame. No exterior hardware. No parts extending beyond the walls. No oversize freight requirements.

The result is a shooting range that ships overseas at standard container freight rates, clears ports without complications, and arrives ready to operate. Call our team at Mobile Range Technologies or contact us online today to add this configuration to your build.

How the Rear Entry Configuration Works

Moving the access point to the rear of the container keeps every component inside the container frame with no exterior penetrations or protrusions. The unit meets standard ISO ocean freight dimensions without modification, which removes the complications that make international shipping expensive and unpredictable.

Containers with exterior hardware get flagged at customs, trigger oversize handling fees, and take damage during ocean transit from rough cargo handling, salt air, and weather exposure. The Rear Entry configuration avoids all of that. Because nothing extends beyond the container walls, this upgrade:

  • Significantly reduces overseas shipping complexity and cost
  • Simplifies international transport and port handling
  • Keeps the range fully enclosed and protected during transit
  • Supports dock-based operation or direct overseas deployment

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What is the 40' Groundhog Rear Entry configuration?
It is a premium upgrade for the 40' Groundhog that moves the access point to the rear of the container. This keeps every component inside the ISO container frame with no exterior protrusions, which allows the range to ship overseas at standard container freight rates without special handling fees or oversize permits.
Which Groundhog models support the Rear Entry upgrade?
The Rear Entry configuration is available exclusively on the 40' Groundhog. The 53' model and 106' Double Groundhog model do not offer this upgrade. Contact our team to confirm which configuration fits your overseas deployment requirements.
Does the Rear Entry configuration change how the range operates on site?
No. Once the range reaches its destination, it operates the same way as the standard Groundhog. Shooters and Range Safety Officers enter from the rear, the firing zone runs toward the front, and the range connects to a standard single-phase 50-amp service to get running.

Yes.
