TS Series - Tubular Steel Masts
Over many years we have developed a wide range of strong galvanised tubular steel masts suitable for supporting MF and HF wire antennas or large VHF arrays with heights of up to 36.6m. These masts are more economical and simple to erect that lattice structures, each section having a belled end which fits over the next section, thus assembly and erection can be carried out by unskilled labour.All sections are constructed from seamless steel tube to BS4848 part 2 and BS4360 grade 43c and are galvanised inside and out to BS729. Diameters of 76mm and 89mm are recommended.
These masts are normally fitted for three way guying, but four way guying can be supplied to accommodate greater head loads and also to simplify erection. Guy wires are normally made from high tensile galvanised steel, cut overlength to accommodate sloping sites, each guy being secured by preforms which take less than a minute to make off, are quick and simple to use and require no special tools for fitting.
Each mast is supplied with one set of halyards, but further halyards can be supplied when required. All mast fittings and ground steelwork is hot dipped galvanised. Pole steps are also available for each type of mast as is a comprehensive erection kit.

Optional Equipment
Mast lighting to ICAO recommendations, complete with fully-automatic daylight sensitive switch and armoured cable, can be fitted when required.
Earthing equipment may be supplied, type dependent upon mast and local conditions.
Although we manufacture a standard range of these masts, variants may be manufactured to customers requirements.
