Telescopic masts are primarily used with RF antennas to improve radio coverage or dead spots and with cameras as well to fill in blind spots. Other notable end-uses are mobile video surveillance, situational awareness & thermal imaging, radio devices including RF antennas, cellular signal boosters, outdoor WiFi access points, edge networks and many more.
Depending upon the height, material and diameter of the telescopic mast, weight limits for the top, payload or head load typically do not exceed 49 lbs for rapid deployment masts. However, there are heavier-duty masts available for special order that can manage payloads in excess of 200lbs.
