Tower Trailer for Emergency Management and Telecom

Trailer-mounted towers are critical in disaster recovery and cells on wheels augmentation, providing temporary cellular coverage when infrastructure fails or demand surges. These portable aluminum tower systems deploy rapidly for LMR/P25 communications, microwave and satellite backhaul connectivity, perimeter surveillance operations, and meteorological monitoring.

Telecom trailers are portable aluminum tower open trailer systems built for rapid deployment and maximum mobility.

Whether responding to hurricanes, wildfires or major public events, Aluma provides a range of systems that restore communications and situational awareness when communities need it most.

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-16ECT-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.

Designed, Built, and Delivered by Aluma

A customer in the Philippines needed a trailer that could be moved from island to island and deployed in under fifteen minutes to help with disaster relief efforts. We designed, built, and delivered it.  A customer needed a trailer to support the Olympic Games in Rio but that could be repurposed to work in varying environmental conditions, from the rainforest to the desert to the mountains. We designed, built, and delivered it.
