Aluma green military trailer system on wheels with unguyed telescoping tower on top

Super Scorpion® Unguyed Telescoping Tower System

Aluma has extensive experience manufacturing military trailer tower systems (both COTS and COTS-based NDI) that can withstand the harsh environments of today’s battlefields yet are quick and easy to operate, lightweight and highly mobile, rugged, reliable, and above all, safe. Among Aluma’s largest customers are the US Government (Department of Defense, FEMA, and State Department), Telecom Service Providers, First Responders, Emergency Management and Surveillance companies.

Aluma engineers designed this system with all the features of the standard Scorpion so that it can withstand harsh environments. They added additional features to ruggedize and enhance the unit’s capabilities.

One of the newest self-supporting antenna masts in our arsenal is the Scorpion® platform trailer tower. One of our best sellers, this unguyed telescoping tower system offers rapid deployment and mission readiness in a self-contained package.

The Super Scorpion is a lightweight, portable aluminum trailer tower equipped with our patented unguyed telescopic antenna tower mast. It is C-130 certified for aircraft transport. Tower masts are available up to 106 ft (32 m) and offer numerous accessories including generators, radio enclosures, and grounding systems so that the unit can be outfitted to the customer’s specifications. These rugged Scorpion® portable aluminum trailer towers can be set up in about 15 minutes by two capable people. They have a small footprint when fully deployed. Heli-hooks are an available option to provide easy airlift transport via helicopter to remote areas.

Below you will find the enhancements made to the original “Scorpion” design to create the more robust “Super Scorpion.”
