Testing the Aluminum Telescopic Mast

Major Air Force Base Test and Evaluation has raised and lowered our unguyed slide bar tower over 5,000 times.  Minimal maintenance required a cable change every 1,000 repetitions and a pulley change every 2,000 repetitions.  This dependability has allowed our T2-100UG model unguyed tower to become a solid leader in the 100 ft tower category.  It is ideal as a trailer mounted mast for a cell tower trailer.  It is also popular with our SMARTTM technology to provide a computer-controlled antenna system.

Please check each tower spec sheet to find which the appropriate option for your application. Please contact us for details.
