Reach up to 30 ft in height
-
Maintain mobility in rugged off-roads
-
Surveil in high-temperature environments
-
Make set up and tear down surveillance safe and quick.
Or use the PTX-100 tower series to:
-
Reach heights up to 80 ft
-
Completely stabilize equipment
-
Improve wind ratings with included guy wires
-
Take the worry out of long-term deployment

Radar and Tracking
Greatly improve your tracking ability with Tower Solutions. Our towers can support up to 2,000 lb. of equipment at 120 ft. Raise your radar above surrounding obstacles and protect humans from potentially harmful microwave radiation.
All our towers are retractable meaning you don’t need heavy equipment or climbing gear to mount and maintain your payload. They can be raised and lowered in as little as 5 minutes to quickly transport radars and track between sites.
You can also protect your equipment during transport with our customizable top plates that pivot radars into cradles. Tower Solutions will integrate custom power systems and reels for reliable power to the top of the tower.
Our STS-12 and LTS product lines are well-equipped to mount radars and have proven to be a robust fit for surveillance towers. For instance, our towers have been deployed for AI surveillance, Counter Unmanned Aircraft System operations, and mobile reconnaissance.
No matter the size of your mobile radar application, Tower Solutions has a product for the job.
Our LTS towers can support large radars in demanding, high-wind applications. The PTX series of trailers with the outrigger system provides a wide and stable base in a transportable package. This allows you to get the benefits of guy wires without needing site preparation, earth anchors, or ballasts. Our engineers will help configure the system to meet any power requirements. They can integrate hoists and cranes directly into the tower so that no extra equipment is required when mounting the radar.
For smaller applications, use the STS-12 tower for its ability to be deployed from within the bed of a pickup truck. We offer an automated stowing mechanism for the STS-12 tower. It tilts the radar back into a padded cradle, giving you safe transport at the push of a button. The STS-12 tower is the perfect highly mobile surveillance system for mobile drone tracking (counter UAS) and security applications.
Work with Tower Solutions engineers personally to configure as much of the system as you need. We offer a range of cable management, power generation, and battery backup technologies to meet the power demands of any application. In addition, we’ll ensure the mobile surveillance tower system is safe and stable by providing guy wires, outriggers, and other structural recommendations for the application.
