Tow Away Mobile Command Trailers

Towable MERC Mobile Command Centers

Custom-Built, Towable Command Units Ready for Rapid Deployment

Comprehensive Communication Solutions (CCS) has delivered trailer-based Mobile Emergency Response Centers (MERC) since 2007, helping agencies deploy fully functional command environments wherever operations demand them. These towable units connect to a semi-truck or heavy-duty vehicle and move quickly between locations without the cost or complexity of self-powered platforms.

CCS builds every MERC trailer to the customer’s exact requirements. Teams can choose bumper pull, gooseneck, or fifth-wheel configurations based on size, weight, and mission needs. Beyond fabrication, CCS engineers and technicians install and integrate the complete communications ecosystem, ensuring each unit arrives mission-ready and fully operational in the field.

Built Around Power, Connectivity, and Operational Flexibility

CCS designs MERC trailers in multiple formats to support workspace requirements, off-road capability, IT rack capacity, and mission-specific workflows. Every unit centers on two critical pillars: reliable power and resilient network connectivity.

To support continuous operations, CCS partners with leading mobile power providers such as Cummins Onan, Engine Power Source, MultiQuip, and Durawatt, delivering generator and solar solutions sized for real-world demand. This power foundation allows first responders and command staff to operate critical systems with confidence in remote or infrastructure-limited environments.

The true strength of a MERC unit lies in its fully integrated communications package. CCS-certified technicians configure and deploy advanced platforms spanning LEO and GEO satellite systems, 5G and LTE (including FirstNet®), land mobile radio, dispatch consoles, interoperability solutions, Wi-Fi and MESH networking, Hosted VoIP and SIP services, HF radio, CBRS/private LTE, video surveillance, drone integration, and AI-enabled applications. The result: a mobile command center that keeps teams connected, informed, and operational under demanding conditions.

Practical Applications

Towable MERC Mobile Emergency Response Centers support agencies that need fast, reliable command capability wherever operations unfold. Emergency management teams, law enforcement, fire departments, utilities, and public safety organizations deploy these units to establish on-scene command during disasters, large public events, major incidents, and infrastructure outages. The trailer-based design allows crews to position a fully equipped command center close to the operational area without committing a self-powered vehicle.

Organizations also use MERC trailers to expand Emergency Operations Centers (EOCs), support incident management teams, coordinate multi-agency responses, and maintain continuity of operations when primary facilities become unavailable. With integrated power, communications, and workspace built in, these units allow teams to direct personnel, manage information flow, and maintain situational awareness in environments where speed, mobility, and reliability matter most.
