Match Your Mission to a Platform
Emergency management and disaster recovery operations requiring rapid on-air capabilities should consider open tower trailers like the TM-12 and TM51-20, which prioritize deployment speed and maneuverability in challenging terrain.
For heavier payload requirements or extended deployment durations, dual-axle open trailers such as the TMI51-35 or self-supporting options like the TM53-70 provide enhanced stability and capacity.
When operations require interior workspace with HVAC and equipment rack space, enclosed cargo trailers in ECT-16, ECT-20 or ECT-24 configurations deliver protected work environments alongside tower capabilities.
Deployment and Mobility at a Glance
Field teams can expect straightforward deployment from Aluma Tower Company’s solutions. It’s as simple as towing the trailer to the site, leveling the platform, installing guy wires if applicable, raising the tower to operational height, connecting equipment and power, and conducting system testing.
Typical setup times range from minutes to under an hour. The exact duration will vary based on tower configuration, deployment height and site conditions.
Towing requirements span from light-duty vehicles for entry-level open trailers to 3/4-ton or heavier trucks for dual-axle and self-supporting systems.
Integration and Power Options
Trailer-mounted towers support diverse communications payloads, including LTE/5G small cells, LMR/P25 repeaters, and microwave or satellite backhaul systems critical for emergency response operations. Surveillance applications benefit from PTZ and thermal cameras, tactical lighting, and environmental or meteorological instrumentation for incident monitoring.
Power options include generators for extended autonomous operation during disaster response, shore power for command post deployments, or hybrid battery and solar configurations tailored to your duty cycle and mission requirements.
Optional remote visibility and SMART monitoring features are available on select systems. These features provide real-time status updates and alerts for enhanced situational awareness during unattended emergency operations.
