Highlights

The INVENTRA label on the junction box

01Compact

535 mm nested, 4 kg at the light end

The catalogue calls this the most compact motorised mast for unmanned ground vehicles. Nested length starts at 535 mm and the lightest configuration weighs 4 kg.

  • Extends from 1160 to 1500 mm
  • Payload 5 to 10 kg, opens in 30 to 40 s
Where the column sits on its base plate

02Integrated drive

Motor, gearbox, sensors and cabling inside

The actuating motor, gear units, screw shafts, sensors, control cards and payload cabling are all inside the one enclosure. The integrator connects a payload and a supply, not a drive train.

  • Up to 15 payload lines carried internally
  • Fully enclosed, maintenance-free design
