Telescopic mast

A telescopic tower is a versatile and adaptable system that consists of extendable sections, allowing easy height adjustment based on the needs of the moment. Find out below how a telescopic tower can help you with your project.

What is a telescopic mast and what is it used for?

A telescopic tower is a type tower that consists of several sliding sections that can be slid in and out of each other. This makes it possible to adjust the height of the tower easy to adapt, depending on the specific needs of the moment. These extendable towers are used in various sectors, such as lighting, security, telecommunications and weather stations.

Features of a telescopic mast

  • Height adjustability: Telescopic towers can be easily adjusted in height. This offers flexibility and makes them suitable for situations where the height of the tower needs to be adjusted quickly and easily without the need for many tools.
  • Portable and compact: When retracted, the tower is more compact and easier to transport. This makes it an ideal solution for mobile applications. 
  • Materials: Our telescopic masts are made of hot-dip galvanized steel, providing excellent weather resistance and long life.
  • Easy installation: Telescopic masts can be set up quickly, without the need for heavy equipment or specialized knowledge. Our telescopic towers can be operated by one person, making them convenient for temporary applications.

Applications of telescopic masts

Telescopic towers are ideal for temporary lighting and security in various locations. They are widely used on:

  • Construction Sites
  • Events
  • Other locations where powerful lighting is required
  • Places where video surveillance is needed

The towers can be equipped with lighting to provide adequate illumination of large areas, which is essential for both safety and visibility. They can also be equipped with cameras for temporary video surveillance , making them an excellent choice for monitoring activity in locations such as parking lots, construction projects or public events.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who supplies telescopic towers for temporary applications such as lighting or camera surveillance?

GR Technics develops custom mobile telescopic towers for temporary applications. These towers can be equipped with lighting, camera surveillance, communications equipment and more.

Who can install telescopic towers in yards or event sites?

Most of our rental customers make our STALICO® towers available for yards and event sites. Feel free to contact us, we will be happy to refer you to an established partner in your area. In addition, GR Technics also has a limited rental fleet of our own, which we can deliver and install ourselves.

Who is responsible for the inspection and safety of telescopic towers at temporary sites?

Our systems are thoroughly checked against a checklist before delivery and undergo an electrical inspection.

Where do I best place a telescopic tower for optimal coverage (light, camera, antenna)?

Mobile telescopic towers are usually placed at the edge of the yard or event site, and preferably near a power supply. Thanks to their height, they offer wide coverage, allowing both lighting and camera surveillance to function optimally over the entire site.

Where can I rent a mobile telescopic tower for an event or emergency?

Most of our rental customers deploy our STALICO® towers for emergencies or at event sites. Please feel free to contact us, we will be happy to refer you to an established partner in your area. GR Technics also has a limited in-house rental fleet, which we can supply and install ourselves.

When are telescopic towers the best choice versus fixed alternatives?

Mobile telescopic towers are ideal for temporary projects, such as construction sites or events, as well as for locations without fixed infrastructure such as poles, walls or power supply. They are also well suited for urgent interventions: a mobile tower is set up in about ten minutes, while installing a fixed pole takes considerably more time.

How does a telescopic tower work and how is it extended or operated?

A telescopic tower consists of several mast sections that slide into each other. These sections are connected with steel cables and can be easily extended via a convenient winch system. By turning the winch with a wrench, the mast sections slide up; this can be done by one person. Sliding in is done in the same way, but in the opposite direction of rotation. The system is equipped with an automatic brake, so the tower moves only when the winch is effectively turned.

How do I safely mount or anchor a telescopic tower on a temporary site?

The telescopic tower is automatically braked when the winch is not turned. Turning can only be done with a special key, which is securely stored in the mobile tower's housing.

How high can a telescopic tower reach and what is its wind resistance?

Our tallest towers reach up to 8.5 meters. All telescopic mast systems are designed to withstand wind speeds up to 85 mph.

How do I connect lighting or monitoring equipment to a telescopic tower?

GR Technics integrates your lighting and monitoring equipment into our telescopic mast systems. With 20 years of experience, this is our great strength.

Why choose a telescopic tower for temporary applications?

Mobile telescopic towers are ideal for temporary projects, such as construction sites or events, but also perfectly usable in locations without fixed infrastructure, such as poles, walls or power supply. They are also very suitable for urgent interventions, as they can be placed within ten minutes, whereas installing a fixed pole takes much more time.

What types of telescopic towers are there (aluminum, steel, hydraulic, manual)?

Almost all of our telescopic mast systems are made of galvanized steel, with the exception of the smallest telescopic mast, which is aluminum. All our mast systems operate manually because they must function reliably in all weather conditions and last at least ten years. Therefore, we do not use hydraulic systems.

What accessories can be combined with telescopic towers (such as cameras, antennas, lights)?

GR Technics integrates your lighting, surveillance equipment and antennas into and onto our telescopic mast systems. With 20 years of experience, this is our specialty.
