A carbon fiber telescopic mast is an upright pole or portable tower consisting of tubular carbon fiber pole sections that slide within each other to extend or retract manually. Our telescopic masts are made from the strongest and most lightweight carbon fiber and carbon composite, meeting mission requirements and can be mounted in any number of ways, including a vehicle-mounted receiver, building or command center, tripod, on a mobile surveillance vehicle or trailer, etc.
Carbon Fiber telescopic masts are invaluable in various fields, including emergency response, broadcasting, telecommunications, and security. For first responders, these lightweight masts provide elevated viewpoints for better situational awareness, enabling quicker and more effective decision-making during crises. In broadcasting, they ensure reliable signal transmission even in remote locations. Telecommunications companies benefit from enhanced coverage and signal strength, crucial for maintaining communication networks.
For more specialized applications, like extending the range for drone operations or thermal imaging, telescopic masts provide stable platforms that can support advanced equipment.
Xinbo Composites carbon fiber telescopic mast is a flexible mobile tower system that employs a manual telescopic mast system made from high-strength carbon fiber to keep it lightweight and high stable (under 10kg), simple and rapidly deployable for law enforcement mobile video surveillance (special events), tactical surveillance, 360-degree situational awareness, investigations, AI, LPR, video analytics (face, appearance & object search), firefighting to see smoke/hotspots with a thermal camera, monitoring large public events, crime scene surveillance/deterrent, radio/Wi-Fi/mobile repeater antenna, long-range acoustic devices, construction site video security, edge network applications, UAV/drone detection, UAV/drone antennas, 3D laser scanners and more.
How high can I get a Carbon Fiber Telescopic Mast?
Lightweight and rigid carbon fiber telescopic masts typically range in size from 20-50 feet, and all our masts have a wind speed or wind survival rating based upon extended height, mast material (carbon fiber or carbon composites), the payload or head load and lastly, whether it's guyed or not. Any applications requiring high precision or elevating beyond 33 feet should be properly guyed in most cases. Sometimes, the masts extended for longer deployments and can also reduce or restrict the extended height as needed for special applications such as AI, LPR, facial recognition or other end uses.
How are Manually Carbon Fiber Telescopic Masts extended?
If you're looking for a more budget-friendly portable mast system, our manual push-up carbon fiber telescopic mast is the best choice. Manual telescopic masts use a hand to pull out and retract the mast one section by one section. Lightweight and portable to set up in less than 2 mins, even when you deploy a guying wire system.
What devices can I put on top of a Carbon Fiber Telescopic Mast?
Telescopic masts are primarily used with RF antennas to improve radio coverage (antenna masts) or dead spots and with cameras as well to fill in blind spots (mobile surveillance towers). Other notable end-uses include mobile video surveillance, situational awareness & thermal imaging, radio devices such as RF antennas, cellular signal boosters, outdoor Wi-Fi access points, edge networks, and many more.
Depending upon the height, material and diameter of the composite telescopic mast, weight limits for the top, payload or head load typically do not exceed 10kgs for rapid deployment 6m 20ft masts, and 5~7kgs for 8m 26ft masts, 2~5kgs for 10m 33ft masts, and 2~3kg for 24ft 13m mast, 1~2kgs for 50ft 15m masts.
Do I have to use a guy wire system with a Carbon Fiber Telescopic Mast?
It is strongly recommended that you follow the manufacturer's specifications and guidelines as mast loading, overall height and weather conditions greatly affect performance.
Our carbon fiber telescopic masts can work in winds of 8m/s ~10m/s windy speed, 6m and 8m masts don't have to work with a guy wire system, but 10m to 15m taller masts need it. If you support a heavier load-bearing, the guy wire system will improve the stability.
Can I Deploy a Carbon Fiber Telescopic Mast on uneven ground surface?
Usually, we don't recommend deploying our carbon fiber telescopic masts on uneven ground, because they may fall down and break your devices.
