The Portable Guard Tower is sold as a complete unit which includes one Guard Tower, one Conex Box, one pallet (75 coils or 3750 ft) of Concertina wire, and one Wire Installation Kit. The Wire Installation Kit includes a Fence Driver, 25 5-foot stakes, and 25 7-foot stakes.

The Guard Tower itself is manufactured with four separate wall units that allow for quick and easy assembly on top of the standard Conex Box. Once placed on the Conex Box the Guard Tower will be approximately 12 feet in the air, giving the guards a greater view of the perimeter or area of threat. Once in position, the walls are filled from the top using sand as ballast. The sand filled walls provide the guards inside with 360 degrees of protection from 9mm, 5.56, and 7.62 threats. 12” dumps are provided for easy removal of the ballast allowing the Guard Tower to be repositioned as needed. The overhead cover is 3/4” plywood on which lights, sensors, and antenna can be installed if desired. Access to the cover can be reached through a hatch type door that is pre-installed for convenience. The CBP Guard Tower eliminates the time and the mess associated with using sandbags. This product is a recoverable asset that can be broken down and deployed inside the Conex Box.

All parts and tools needed for assembly are included in the kit bag. Stakes are also provided for the Concertina Wire installation. The standard colors for the Portable Guard Tower are Olive Drab or Desert Tan; however, all colors are available upon request.

The first step is to put the plywood floor on top of Conex Box. Note that the two pieces of plywood are NOT the same.

Half of the plywood floor is placed above the door side of the Conex Box. It can be differentiated from the other piece as it will NOT have an overhanging piece of plywood over the Conex door.


The second half of the plywood floor is placed away from the Conex door. It can be differentiated from the other piece as it DOES have an overhang-ing piece of plywood over the threat side.

The plywood floor has been put in place and the walls are ready to be installed.


It’s recommended to install the wood-en posts for added stability during assembly.

The first (short wall) is easily slid into position. The second (long wall) will easily interlock with the first wall.

The third wall (long wall) simply slides into position.


The fourth wall (short wall) is ma-neuvered into position with the other interlocking walls.

To install the fourth wall, manually lift the corner edge so that the fourth wall can be slid into position. The wall will drop into place once properly positioned.

INSTALLATION OF LADDER AND/STAIRS

Simply bolt the ladder together using the included tools and parts.

Once the ladder is in place it can quickly be lifted over the short wall and put into position. Note that the ladder must be positioned over the long wall facing away from the threat side of the Conex Box.

The remaining cross beams are then positioned within the brackets and secured using the provided nails.
