TM 54-80 Mobile Tower Systems

Mobile Telescoping Tower Trailer System

One of the newest products offered by Aluma is the 54-80 line of mobile tower systems.  When coupled with our innovative TU series mobile tower systems, the 54-80 provides a rapidly deployable, mobile telescoping trailer tower system that is capable of being air transported via C-130 aircraft.  These well-designed mobile tower systems have many available options and accessories, including an all-aluminum shelter that can be affixed to the upper deck structure (model 54-80S).

The TU series towers are adapted to these mobile tower systems to provide a very capable, self-supporting tower system.  This mobile telescoping trailer tower system can handle up to a 92 ft (28 m) TU series unguyed tower.  When complete, the 54-80 models provide excellent coverage for your mobile tower.

Mobile Tower Systems

These mobile tower systems have numerous available accessories including power winches, custom electrical systems (including International variations), HVAC systems, equipment racks, cable handing accessories (cable trays, coax reels, I/O ports, etc.), spare tires, and many others.   As with all of our units, you can be cover the 54-80 with any coating (paint, powder coat, anodize, CARC, etc.) you desire.

Some key features of these mobile tower systems are as follows:

  • These highly capable mobile tower systems employ practical features to provide longevity, reliability, ruggedness, and mobility. They are our baseline mobile telescoping unguyed tower trailer systems.
  • For the ultimate in mobile tower systems, you can combine our Smart Tower Technology with this unit and obtain a remote-controlled mobile telescoping tower trailer system.
