TM 12: Small Mobile Tower

Small Portable Tower Features

The TM-12 small mobile tower system is available with a wide variety of options and accessories. It is best suited for meteorological tower purposes, test data acquisition, and other jobs that require small, portable units.Ā The rugged TM-12 is constructed of tubular structural steel before being hot-dip galvanized and includes our A-frame tongue design with an additional T-bar for added structural integrity and better towing capability.Ā  This highly portable trailer tower complies with DOT Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations and can be licensed in all 50 states with shipping available worldwide. Some of the features of the TM-12 small mobile tower system are as follows:

  • The deck of the mobile tower unit has a 4 ft W x 10 ft L (1.22 m W x 3.05 m L) mounting space and can carry a small equipment cabinet to use with the small mobile tower.
  • Other available accessories include an Aluma coax reel, spare tire, antenna storage tubes, solar power systems, storage boxes, and portable generators.
  • Available tower options include heights of 17 ft (5.18 m), 35 ft (10.67 m), and 50 ft (15.24 m), standard duty, heavy-duty, and extra-heavy-duty capacities.
  • This small mobile tower unit is extremely lightweight and can easily be transported by any vehicle with a suitable trailer hitch, including SUVs, vans, trucks, cars, and ATVs.
  • Due to the compact size and low weight of the TM-12 mobile tower, multiple units can easily be transported in Conex cargo containers, C-130 or larger aircraft, or via flatbed truck decks across the globe.
  • Model options available include: TM-12, TM-12HD (higher payload capacity) and TM-12UG (T2 unguyed tower capability).
