What types of telescoping masts are there?

The most common application calls for an upper and lower bracket.The brackets are secured to a vertical surface which allow the Telescoping mast to be fixed into a vertical position.Lightweight Mast Bracket can be found here.Tripods：The lightweight Telescoping mast can be equiped with 3 leg tripods.Free Standing Structure：Quad-pod structures are 4 leg assemblies available for GOLDEN Masts

Pneumatic telescoping mast use air pressure to quickly extend and retract the mast. Hand pumps, foot pumps and electric pumps are typically used to raise and lower pneumatic telescoping mast. The heavy duty telescoping mast can be controlled via the standard hand pump or the optional 12/24v DC electric compressor both which will elevate and retract in under 3-5 minutes.

Light weight and Heavy Duty telescoping mast typically range in size from 10-50 feet and some models even have “lockable collars” or “Non-Lockable”that keep the mast extended for longer deployments and also can reduce or restrict the extended height as needed for special applications such as AI, LPR, facial recognition or other end uses. Any applications requiring high-precision or elevating beyond 30 feet should be properly guyed. All masts have a wind speed or wind survival rating based upon extended height, mast material, mast diameter, how it is mounted, the payload or head load and lastly, whether it’s guyed or not.
