Will-Burt’s Rapid Deployment Elevation System (RDES) is designed for expeditious deployment when significant heights are required for sensors and antennas. The RDES includes a mast tilt system that delivers a compact transport envelope. The system is available in heights of 80 ft. / 24m or 120 ft. / 36m. The powerful telescopic mast can elevate a 1,200 lb. / 544kg payload – no need for crane assistance. An automatic lock system maintains a consistent height for extended periods of deployment – even with the loss of power. Payload stability and pointing accuracy is assured with section keys and keyways that minimize rotational movement. Full deployment of the 80 ft. / 24m system can be achieved in 8 minutes.
RDES is customizable and can accommodate a variety of power systems as specified by the customer.
