CRANK UP ALUMINUM MASTS

ALM SERIES
The ALM Series is a patented mast system
designed and manufactured by US Tower
Corp. The intent of the ALM Series is to
provide a versatile and highly capable mast
system that can be quickly transitioned for
different uses.

Using lightweight aluminum construction, the


ALM Series masts can be easily loaded into
a vehicle, transported to a field event, and
deployed using a number of mobile mast
mount options including hitch mounts and
drive-on bases.

With its high wind rating, the ALM


Series can also be used as a permanently
installed mast attached to a house, an out
structure, or installed free-standing. No guying
is required for any deployment configuration
of the mast.

Whether the intent is to use the ALM Series


as a mobile solution, a fixed solution or both,
the low maintenance, high strength, weather
resistant construction of the mast ensures that
you will be prepared at all times with an easy-
to-use cost-effective solution.

Features:

• Lightweight aircraft grade aluminum


• Rapid Deployment
• Corrosion resistant
• Ideal for temporary or permanent
installations
• Built-in pivot clevis for easy tilt-up
• Adjustable height winch
• High-ratio winch
• High strength-to-weight ratio
• Low maintenance
• 4 1/2 ft, 2” O.D. antenna mounting mast
with universal rotator mount plate

Options:

• Crank tilt-up raising feature (ALM MAF)


• ALM rotating feature (ALM MARB)
• Hitch mount fixture (ALM Hitch Mount)
• Wall mount fixture; 16” or 20” standoff arms
• Standalone base (ALM MAB) Mast Bracket Mast Base
• Drive-on mast stand (15603-0004-1012)
