Automated Mast Tilt System

Shown with the Stiletto™ Mast

The AMTS150 is an Automated Mast Tilting System to be used in applications where nested height and rapid deployment are critical factors. The robust design enables rapid tilting and locking of the mast. The low height of the AMTS150 makes it the ideal solution to overcome fixed and rotary aircraft interior height limitations (e.g. C-130), or in situations requiring a low center of gravity or concealment of the mast payload.

The palletized configuration also makes the system suitable for installation on various mission configured vehicle platforms such as trailers, pick-up trucks and flat bed transports including the FMTV.

The AMTS150 accommodates Will-Burt's line of Heavy Duty Pneumatic Masts as well as the line of Stiletto™ and Stiletto HD electro-mechanical masts.
