Will-Burt’s Compact Elevation System is a rugged and precise mobile elevation platform that provides rapid deployment of a wide variety of sensors from a concealed position in a standard 8’ pickup truck bed. The compact design provides up to 24.7 ft3 / .7 m³ for the sensor payload with the tailgate in the closed position.
Available with an electro-mechanical or pneumatic elevation system, payload stability is assured with section keys and keyways that minimize rotational movement. Designed and Manufactured in the USA by The Will-Burt Company, the Compact Elevation System will optimize the performance of sensors resulting in mission success.
