Portable protective enclosure

A portable protective enclosure comprising:

• first and second skids being arranged parallel and spaced to one another defining a space therebetween, the first and second skids having a first end and an opposite second end;
• a building supported on the skids for movement therewith, the building comprising first and second end walls each extending across the skids, first and second side walls one each extending along a length of a respective skid, and a roof spanning the first and second end walls and the first and second side walls, the building being free of a floor, the first and second end walls, the first and second side walls, and the roof being insulated;
• the first end wall comprising a pair of first swing doors that are openable to permit access to an interior of the building and to the space between the first and second skids;
• the second end wall comprising a pair of second swing doors that are openable to permit access to an interior of the building and to the space between the first and second skids;
• a tow beam extending between the first and second skids at the first ends thereof, the two beam being removably attached at its opposite ends to the first and second skids;
• two tow eyes attached to the tow beam and configured to be connected to a tow vehicle for towing the skids and attached building;
• each swing door of the pair of first swing doors has a forward access panel located at a bottom of the door and extending along a width of the door, wherein the forward access panel is insulated panel or is a strip of flexible rubber material;
• each swing door of the pair of second swing doors having two side-by-side rearward access panels located at a bottom of the door and extending along a width of the door, wherein the rearward access panels are insulated panels or a strip of flexible rubber material;
• the first side wall having a pair of first side access panels disposed at a bottom end of the first side wall approximate the second end wall, wherein the first side access panels are insulated panels or a strip of flexible rubber material;
• the second side wall having a pair of second side access panels disposed at a bottom end of the second side wall approximate the second end wall, wherein the first side access panels are insulated panels or a strip of flexible rubber material;
• and
• a first cross member pivotally attached at one end to the first skid for rotation within the space between the first and second skids between a first position wherein the first cross member extends between the skids and a second position wherein the first cross member extends along a length of the first skid, the opposite end of the first cross member being detachably secured to the second skid when in the first position.
