Value Adding Benefits
- No telescoping sections and cables, deployed tower is one 3-sided unit
- No tilt-up tower sections and winches
- Safe to operate and allows for safe adjustment and maintenance of customer's tower top appliances
- Tower construction utilizes machined joints, rivets, or bolts - no welding
- Moving components glide on Delron slides
- Power and Communication Cables can remain attached to the tower as it rises or is lowered.
- Equipment can be raised and lowered, for needed adjustments, in approximately 5 minutes.
- The tower can stop at any point as opposed to a few fixed positions on other masts and the integrity of the tower structure is stronger at any height it is stopped at during deployment.
- Very reliable with very few maintenance issues
- Has user friendly controls and features, safety interlocks and limit switches that minimizes or eliminates potential safety issues or damage to equipment if operator does not follow operating procedures
- Allows for quick deployment and removal of equipment for temporary use (raises in 5 minutes at the "push of a button")
- Self-stowing leveling jacks and outriggers adjustable to +/- 18° surface elevation variation
- Wide variation of rugged trailer and shelter options
- Many customer specific options can be provided to match the application and meet the needs of the end-user
- Manual, spring powered, or motor power cable reels are available for many cable sizes. Some are mounted inside tower cabinet
- Lubrication free gear drive tower deployment eliminates lubrication maintenance and dirt contamination.
- Electrical Components rated for 150 degree Fahrenheit.
- Back-up redundancy of the tower construction protects the tower integrity.
- Electrical interlocks and circuitry accomplished with simple electrical relays.
- Tower made from corrosion resistant and strong 6061-T6 extruded alloy.
- Level sensing and safety switches prevent operation in unsafe conditions.
- Hooks made from 17-4 PH heat treated stainless alloy.
- Hinge pivots made from machined melonite treated 4140 steel.
- Braking system designed for 10,000 cycles and locks the tower in place in the event of power failure or when the power is shut off while extended
- Tested and warranted for 1000 cycles or 12 months.
- Analytical Structural Analysis to ANSYS & NASTRAN
- Steel components in drive system are either powder coated or zinc plated to prevent corrosion
- Pre-finished aluminum weather cabinet with grip strut roof traction
- Operates at slow speed to minimize wear on the few moving parts.
- Weather resistant construction.
- Maintenance free sealed Euro drive Transmission.
- Direct electric drive system eliminates hydraulics, cables, pulleys, winches, and pneumatics.
- Critical fasteners are torque applied to ensure conformity to specifications
- Multiple in-process inspections and final inspections procedures and documentation are utilized to ensure product integrity
- Critical components are manufactured from certified materials and conform to print specifications
- Able to easily lift significantly more weight than other telescoping towers
- Stiffer structure for less sway during deployment without guy wires.
- Able to reach the equipment attached at any height on the tower without climbing.
- Eliminates the chance the tower will "cock" in the wind and jam during retraction
