Military (Non-Locking) Telescoping Mast

Military Pneumatic Non-Locking Masts from Will-Burt offer a light-weight solution with a high payload lifting capacity. Our Pneumatic Non-Locking Masts also feature high pointing accuracy and long mast life for high performance and dependability. The pneumatic heavy-duty design makes it inherently safe – the payload sits on a “cushion of air” enabling it to better absorb shocks for on-the-move applications*. What’s more, the Pneumatic Non-Locking Masts have controlled exhausting of air for smooth and safe retraction. Locking models are available for extended deployments.
