MecMast Series

Electromechanical vehicle mast, up to 25 m

Heavy-lift, screw-driven telescoping mast for vehicles, shelters and ground sites. Holds any height precisely and stays extended while the vehicle moves.

Military vehicle equipped with advanced surveillance or radar equipment under a clear blue sky.

MecMast Series

Electromechanical vehicle mast, up to 25 m
The MecMast Series is a screw-driven, electromechanical telescoping mast that combines heavy lifting strength, rigidity, reliability and precise positioning. It is built for military communications and surveillance missions where heavy payloads must go up fast and hold an exact height. The screw drive holds any intermediate height with repeatable accuracy, needs little maintenance, and can stay extended while the vehicle is moving. Height and position can be read and controlled from a PC, laptop or remote control. MecMast masts are tested to multiple MIL-STDs and are available anodized or painted in military green, sand, black and other colors. Beyond the catalog range, BlueSky configures custom MecMast solutions and a broad range of accessories to fit the mounting site and the mission.
Radars and sensor heads are heavy and need real height. MecMast lifts payloads up to 400 kg to heights up to 25 m.
Directional sensors need an exact, repeatable height. The screw drive holds any intermediate position with repeatable accuracy.
Lowering the mast every time the vehicle moves costs time and coverage. MecMast can stay extended while the vehicle is moving.
