Webb sells telescopic masts for military project

18 May 2016 Telecoms, Datacoms, Wireless, IoT

Webb Industries recently sold a significant number of telescopic masts that will be used in a large military project.

The Storm tactical telescopic mast is the latest composite, belt-driven (rather than compressor driven) mast from SMC Hilomast, and is ideal for a variety of applications.

Webb MD Paul Richards says this mast has been designed to perform without fail in the very worst weather conditions and this, combined with the fact that it is light, crank-up, resistant to dust and field conditions and extremely durable, has made it a popular choice amongst those, like the military, working in more remote areas.

The mast is designed to meet stringent MIL-810G standards and, made from a composite material (glass reinforced plastic), it is lightweight yet tough and is capable of supporting a wide range of head loads including antennas, cameras, lights and much more. Because of its composite material construction, it is RF transparent.

The Storm tactical telescopic mast range includes models with maximum extended heights from 6 to 18 metres with a full range of installation accessories for complete mast system solutions.
