Ultra Portable Telescoping Masts

Posted on by

In the range of most to least portable, the ultra portable mast is king.

It is a compromise of payload and available height, along with reduced durability and stability in the field.  For installations that require fast mobile deployment in a wide range of environmental conditions, the ultra portable option may be ideal for the engineer.

In many cases mobile deployments have a range of logistical challenges, primarily due to transportation requirements, and availability of trained personnel to manage equipment and deployment.  Going the more portable route may save cost and optimize the logistics of the operation.

Ultra portable mast vendors include Bluesky Mast and Wilburt Co.

Floatograph has a range of mast systems to meet a variety of needs.

Covering military, law enforcement, emergency management, mobile communications, and a variety of commercial applications, this provider has a number of established solutions available for consideration.

Primarily a provider of trailer-based systems, Floatograph is best suited for field applications requiring larger payload flexibility.  This comes as a compromise to portability and deployment speed, but provides a more robust solution compared to some of the other, lighter weight, portable options available.

The design, as with each mast provider, is unique and a matter of your preference / system needs.

Large scale field deployments will require maintenance personnel and technical expertise to maintain the pneumatic and electric systems, and consideration must be made for the footprint of not only the installation but also the transport of the system.  For in-field use without access to paved roads, ground clearance, weight, towing solutions should be considered before further evaluation of Floatograph telescoping mast options for your needs.
