Some Classifications of Lifter Mast You Should Know

The lift mast is a lift mast device provided by professional mobile lighting equipment, which widely used in fire protection, communication, meteorology, municipal construction, various natural disasters, emergency scene night rescue, rescue and other fields; and it can be installed in news interview vehicles, broadcast vehicles, command vehicles, emergency communication vehicles and other special vehicles, etc.; it can also be used as a sports venue lighting carrier.

What are the classifications of mobile lifter antennae masts?

At present, there are five common types of lifting masts on the market from the perspective of lifting principle:

1️⃣The first is the hydraulic lift mast, which uses an oil pump and hydraulic cylinder to push the mast up section by section and lock it.

2️⃣The second is the electric screw lift mast, that is, the motor and the reducer are used to drive the screw to rotate, and the nut moves to make the mast sections rise and fall in turn.

3️⃣The third type is the electric wire rope lifting mast, that is, the motor and the reducer are used to drive the winch and the wire rope to rotate, and pull each section of the mast to lift.

4️⃣The fourth is the pneumatic lift mast, that is, using an air pump and a valve to push the mast sections up by inputting air into the mast, and exhaust air to make the mast sections descend.

5️⃣The fifth is the manual lifting mast, which is driven by a manual winch, with high transmission efficiency, smooth lifting process, and no shock jitter. The ratchet backstop mechanism is safe and reliable, and has the function of safe self-locking at any position.

It has the advantages of small size, light weight, large load, low noise and stable operation. From ENG communications to mobile wireless base stations, surveillance, military and specific fields, there are extremely high application values.

The above five types of portable mobile lifter masts have their own characteristics in terms of working principles. For example, the hydraulic mast has large thrust, but the weight must also be large; the electric screw mast runs smoothly, and the speed is best controlled, but it is difficult to maintain; the electric wire transmission mast also has the advantages of stable operation and good speed control, but the free clearance is large and the safety factor is relatively low; the pneumatic lifting mast has a simple structure, high reliability and convenient maintenance, but the thrust or load is relatively small.

For quality problems, due to the different principles of mast lift and different materials, they cannot be compared.

So for users, which mast to choose depends on the nature of use, or what is the purpose? Where is it used? If the load is not large, such as tens or hundreds of kilograms, pneumatic masts can be considered.

By other classifications, the most widely used mobile lifter rotate antenna is the rotatable lifting mast.

Rotatable lift rod

The rotatable lifting pole is to achieve the angle adjustment requirements of equipment such as top antenna monitoring through the rotation of the lifting mast itself. It is mainly divided into manual roller type and electric motor type. The difference between the two is that one is driven by manual adjustment, and the other is driven by a motor base to achieve angular rotation.

Manual roller type rotatable base, applied to some small lift poles, will install the roller at the bottom, and at the same time, it will be equipped with a rotary handle or steering wheel on the bottom mast. In the process of use, customers only need to turn the handle or steering wheel and rotate it manually. You can arbitrarily adjust the angle you need.
