to be elevated above uneven terrain and over walls or other obstacles. In addition, its heavy duty construction allows it to withstand weapons system recoil allowing for greater, safer, more flexible deployment and its rigidity allows for accurate line-of-sight fire.
elevated testing and mobile radar applications. When a mast deployment is needed for extended periods, locking collars allow the mast to remain extended indefinitely without air pressure. Vehiclemounted heavy-duty models up to 18 meters do not require guylines. Commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) heavy-duty models are available. Super heavy-duty models feature greater unguyed heights and larger payload capacities.
Maximizing Communications Antenna Performance Will-Burt telescopic masts and towers deliver the superior platform upon which to elevate communications antennas, maximizing system performance. Delivering elevation height capability and high pointing accuracy, WillBurt offers the proper elevation solution for any mobile communication requirement – from telescoping towers offering elevation to 40 meters to lightweight, single-man backpack tripod masts yielding the ultimate in portability.
Will-Burt’s Quick Erecting Antenna Mast (QEAM) is a lightweight, high strength mast that offers a rigid, stable platform for elevating critical payloads. The QEAM may be field, vehicle, or shelter mounted. QEAM models are available in aluminum or in high performance, high strength lightweight carbon fiber composite for elevation to 10 and 15 meters using an internal screw-drive mechanism. For heavier payloads to higher heights, WillBurt’s Strap Drive Quick Erecting Antenna Mast (QEAM) uses an internal strap wound between tube sections for mast elevation. Designed for manual operation, The Strap Drive QEAM has heavier payload lifting capability than the Screw Drive QEAM (80 kg vs. 34 kg) and is available in 21, 25 and 34 meter heights. Geroh KVR/KVL The Geroh telescopic cable drive crank masts deliver stability and reliability. The KVR heavy duty has a payload weight capacity of 70 kg with elevation height to 20 meters. The light duty KVL has a payload weight capacity of 25 kg with height to 12 meters. Either alternative may be vehicle, shelter, trailer or field mounted.
Mobile Tower Trailer
Will-Burt’s Integrated Tower Systems trailermounted lattice towers and pneumatic masts deliver height, stability and a completely integrated communications antenna elevation solution. When situations require higher payload elevation and/or heavier payload capacity, Integrated Tower Systems self-supporting telescopic lattice tower structures deliver the ultimate in performance. ITS towers can elevate payloads from 11 meters to 32 meters standard, and customized to 40 meters, unguyed. Payload weight capacity is 340 kg. Trailer-mounted pneumatic masts can elevate antennas to 30 meters and deliver flexibility of transport with both height and maneuverability.
