Highlights

The section joints at the MES10 base

01Proven since 1977

Flange locking with a 40-year field record

The flange locking system has been in field service since 1977. A mechanism with that record behind it is a different proposition from one qualified only on a test rig.

  • Motorised drive with flange locking
  • 28 V supply, 120 km/h wind load

02Payload

Up to 192 kg, the highest in the range

Rated payload reaches 192 kg, more than any other mast we build. Main tube diameter runs from 150 to 250 mm across the configurations, which is where that capacity comes from.

  • Four to nine sections by configuration
  • Extends from 3005 to 10,005 mm
