TekMast

Mechanically extended tubular sectional light-weight field mast

“TekMast” is a new light-weight tactical field mast, rapid and deployable in less than 20 minutes with only 2 operators. Guy ropes and antennas are attached to the mast at a ground level resulting in a simultaneous lifting of the antenna as well as the tubular aluminium mast sections in one operation with a mechanical or electrical removable winch.

The erection gear consists of a mast guide unit on folding legs fitted with large feet for soft ground. Tube sections are met with the mast guide unit from underneath and lifted by a hand-cranked winch fitted with an automatic brake. A battery powered electrical drive device is available as an option. The guy collars and antenna are attached to the mast at ground level before erection which results in simultaneous lifting of the antenna as well as tubular mast sections in one operation.

For that reason custom made attachments are available on request.
