Non-Military (Locking) Telescoping Mast

Available in both Heavy Duty and Super Heavy Duty models, non-military pneumatic locking masts offer a light weight elevation solution with a high payload capacity. These vehicle or trailer mounted telescoping masts feature locking collars that allow the mast to remain extended indefinitely without air pressure. Full-length keyways maintain directional azimuth and provide precise pointing accuracy. Standard models are available in heights from 30 ft. / 8.9 m to 134 ft. / 40.8 m with payload capabilities up to 450 lbs. / 205 kg.

Non-Military Pneumatic
Locking Mast

When a pneumatic mast deployment is needed for extended periods (more than a day), turn to our Heavy-Duty Locking telescopic mast. Available in six standard models up to 134 ft (40.8 m), these vehicle or trailer mounted telescoping masts feature locking collars that allow the mast to remain extended indefinitely without air pressure. Models up to 60 ft (18 m) are normally vehicle mounted so guy lines are optional, over 60 ft are field guyed and are non-rotatable.
