Product Information

Full details

The Mil-Tec US Type Aluminium Field Cot is designed for campers, festival-goers, and anyone needing a portable, durable sleeping solution. Its key benefit is quick, tool-free setup and a robust aluminium frame for stability. A minor caveat is its weight when packed, which, while manageable, is a consideration for long-distance trekking. This field cot offers a comfortable, elevated sleeping surface made from dirt and water-repellent Oxford Nylon with a PVC coating, capable of supporting up to 120kg. It includes a convenient carry bag for easy transport and storage.

Troubleshooting

Cot is wobbly or unstable

Ensure all legs are fully extended and locked into place. Check that the cot is placed on a relatively flat and even surface. Verify that the weight capacity of 120kg is not exceeded.

Fabric is difficult to clean

Use a damp cloth with mild soap and water. For heavily soiled areas, allow the soapy water to sit for a few minutes before wiping. Ensure the fabric is completely dry before packing to prevent mildew.

Cot does not fold or unfold smoothly

Check for any debris or obstructions in the folding mechanism. Gently flex the frame to ensure all joints are free. Do not force the mechanism, as this could cause damage.

Carry bag zipper is stuck

Carefully check for any fabric caught in the zipper. Try to gently move the zipper back and forth. Lubricating the zipper teeth with a dry lubricant like graphite (from a pencil lead) can sometimes help.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: To set up the Mil-Tec US Type Aluminium Field Cot, simply unfold the frame. Once unfolded, extend and lock the legs into their designated positions. No tools are required for this process. Ensure all legs are firmly secured before applying weight.

Compatibility: This field cot is designed for general outdoor use such as camping, festivals, and emergency shelter. It is compatible with most standard sleeping bags and camping mats for added comfort. Its raised design makes it suitable for use on most relatively flat outdoor surfaces. It is not intended for use as a permanent bed or on extremely uneven terrain.

Care: The cot's Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) coated Oxford Nylon cover is dirt and water repellent. To clean, wipe the surface with a damp cloth. For more stubborn dirt, use mild soap and water, then rinse and allow to air dry completely before folding and storing. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. The aluminium frame should be wiped clean with a dry cloth and kept free of excessive moisture to prevent corrosion.
