What Is an Enclosed Cargo Trailer for Tower Applications?

Aluma’s ECT is a specialized portable tower system built on a steel-frame cargo trailer. Unlike generic enclosed cargo trailers used for simple transport or storage, our ECT integrates a custom in-house aluminum roof rack. It supports a roof-mounted, sliding-carriage telescoping tower capable of extending up to 100 feet. This design combines the mobility of a standard trailer with an integrated tower system and a protected interior operations environment.

When to Choose ECT vs. Other Platforms

Selecting the right ECT comes down to your operational priorities. When you need mobile command capabilities combined with a protected workspace and an integrated portable tower system, Aluma is your go-to solutions provider.

Our inventory includes:

  • Open trailer towers demonstrate maximum agility for frequent relocations. This option is best suited for teams that do not require an interior workspace.
  • Our cell-on-wheels S6 or S812 models support heavy payloads, extended deployment durations, HVAC-controlled equipment racks, and the fastest possible on-air cycles.

Deck, Length and Power

Aluma’s ECT configurator lets you tailor your mobile command platform to your mission-critical needs. Choose the 4-foot front desk for integrated generator and fuel tanks. This option also delivers extended runtime at remote sites. Alternatively, select the streamlined no-deck model when connecting to shore power or external generators, or when operational footprint matters most.

Length options offer strategic flexibility. For example, compact trailers enable rapid deployment and maneuverability in constrained environments. Extended configurations accommodate additional equipment racks, workstations, storage and auxiliary systems.

Portable Tower System Deployment

This portable tower system is easy to use and deploy. The tower is attached to a carriage that slides within a long track and then easily pivots from a horizontal to a vertical position at the rear of the ECT. It is then locked to the vehicle bumper with the supplied lockdown cable assembly.

You can also apply guy wires if required, route coax and fiber through integrated pass-throughs, connect power systems, and verify all links. This streamlined process minimizes setup time and physical effort, completing your mission-critical tasks fast.
