RolaTube - 3" Double Lightweight Mast Systems

Designed for heavier antennas and mesh network use, these masts are light and small enough to be carried by dismounted forces as well as minimizing the volume required for vehicles carriage. As with all Rolatube products, the systems are designed to minimize the size and weight of package carried and preserves the ultra-lightweight advantage of composite masts whilst avoiding their fragility.

Quick and simple to deploy, it may be used either fully extended or partially rolled out. Unlike metal or carbon composite masts, the thermal signature of BRC masts is minimal.

The masts are based on patented Rolatube technology. Formed from custom manufactured composite materials, the mast rolls up in the manner of a carpenters tape measure but, uniquely, is stable in either the coiled or extended form.

• Reliable No moving parts or joints to fail
