Vehicle-Mounted Antenna Towers
When communications demand mobility and rapid deployment, vehicle-mounted telescoping antenna towers deliver the height and flexibility you need without the footprint of a trailer.
Whether you’re coordinating public safety operations, conducting surveillance or providing temporary broadcast capabilities, understanding when and how to deploy a vehicle-mounted solution can make the difference between mission success and logistical headaches.
Vehicle-Mounted Towers
Aluma’s vehicle-mounted antenna tower is designed to be installed by the customer on a van, cargo trailer, motor home, or other suitable vehicle. Telescoping guyed antenna towers are available up to 100 feet (30.5 m). The towers are transported in a horizontal position. At the site, carriage and tower are rolled to the rear of the vehicle and the tower is then pivoted to the vertical position and erected to the desired height.
The unique feature of this vehicle-mounted antenna tower is the sliding carriage design that allows the tower to be centered front to rear over the vehicle. It allows the operator to move the tower from the horizontal to the vertical position with a minimum amount of effort. The telescoping towers are equipped with roller guides to ensure smooth operation. The roller guides cushion each section from the fully retracted position to the fully extended position.
On vans and trucks, the track should be mounted on a ladder rack, available at truck equipment dealers. On other types of vehicles, the track and carriage assembly may be secured directly to the vehicle’s roof.
