Government and Military Applications
As engineers and fellow project managers, we understand the frustration of suppliers missing targets and we care about making our fellow program managers successful. We understand the pressures of being responsible for delivering on promises. It’s why we are so sensitive about doing what we say and not overpromising and under-delivering.
As fellow project managers, we understand the importance of delivering on time. We have a better than 96% overall delivery rate. We have been trusted with key projects for border security and critical UAV technology platforms, and our operational availability is greater than 98%. We can be your trusted supplier to ensure you can get what you need when you need it.
“ People choose Tower Solutions for its ease of use, speed of setup, and ability to handle harsh environments like high winds or freezing rain. When you need a simple solution that leaves minimal traces that it’s been there when you’re done, Tower Solutions is a perfect choice.”

History of Innovation
In 1999, the first Tower Solution was launched in the entertainment industry. Its innovative lifting mechanism made for a fast, portable solution for setting up events. As the company grew, so did the performance demands specifically from military and government customers. The result was a series of pioneering innovations which set new industry standards such as simple operation (15 min set up with one person), lifting capacity (1 ton), and rigidity (1.5” deflection @ 80ft, with 1-ton weight, 60 mph winds, and 100 sq ft sail). During this time of innovation, Tower Solutions has also closed the pricing gap. Our goal is to continue to expand the global footprint in our current markets while reaching out to customers in new applications.
Some of Our Success
We have provided our large (80’) towers to all four of the services. The US Air Force has purchased and continues to purchase, over 100 of our large towers for use as ground data terminals for the Predator and Reaper UAV programs. They were chosen because of our stability (lack of movement/twist). The Army also uses our towers for the same purpose (UAV support). The Marine Corps purchased our large towers for use in Afghanistan for surveillance.
While not a military service, the US Customs, and Border Patrol is using over 90 of our towers as part of a surveillance system on the southern border of the United States. Our towers are chosen because of our ability to support heavy payloads, allowing them to be used for both surveillance and communications platforms.
