What Is a telescopic mast?

A telescoping or telescopic mast is an upright pole or portable tower that consists of tubular sections that slide within another in order to be extended or retracted. Telescopic mast can be made from a variety of materials including aluminum, steel or carbon fiber depending upon the application, mission requirements and can be mounted any number of ways including a vehicle’s 2x2” hitch receiver, building or command center wall, freestanding tripod, on a mobile surveillance vehicle or trailer, folded down on a roof and even through a hole in the roof via a roof bearing!

For example, The Rapid All-Terrain Tower (aka The RATT) is a mobile tower system that employs a pneumatic telescopic mast system made from high-strength aluminum in order to keep it lightweight (under 100lbs), simple and rapidly deployable for law enforcement mobile surveillance (special events), tactical long range surveillance, situational awareness, investigations, AI, LPR, video analytics (face, appearance & object search), firefighting to see smoke/hotspots with a thermal camera, monitoring large public events, crime scene surveillance/deterrent, radio/WiFi/mobile repeater antenna, long-range acoustic devices,  construction site video security, edge network applications, UAV/drone detection, UAV/drone antennas, 3D laser scanners and more.

Telescopic mast engineered for Mobile Communications

The Ultra Heavy-Duty is a telescopic mast constructed of weather-resistant anodized aluminum with easy-to-operate and rugged positive locking pins for safe, long-term deployment without air pressure.  Compared to hydraulic steel masts, it delivers higher lifting capacity at a lower weight of 880 pounds (399 kg).  The Ultra Heavy-Duty Mast does not require hydraulic fluid for elevation thus eliminating the potential for environmentally hazardous leaks.  The strength of the Ultra Heavy-Duty Mast delivers significant unguyed performance, providing easier antenna deployment in paved parking lots and urban areas.

Telescopic mast and diverse mounting options are essential pieces of equipment in the fields of sports analysis, lighting, aerial photography and communications in particular, as well as military and emergency services such as police and fire departments.

Telescopic mast can withstand the most severe of weather from arctic conditions through to the heat and sandstorms of a desert. The working temperature is -30 degrees to +60 degrees Celsius.
