Tower Solutions

High-performance self-erecting mobile towers for defence operations

Tower Solutions engineers state-of-the-art, self-erecting mobile tower platforms engineered for rapid deployment, extreme stability, and high payload capacities.

Grounded in proprietary elevation mechanics, our heavy-duty towers solve complex tactical elevation challenges for defence, intelligence, and commercial organisations globally.

Conventional telescoping structures often demand extensive guy-wire rigging, large ground footprints, and labour-intensive assembly. Tower Solutions circumvents these traditional constraints through a patented interlocking column system that converts three tower sections into a single rigid vertical column as it extends.

Designed to elevate heavy defence equipment from long-range radar arrays and communications antennas to electro-optical systems, our towers ensure rapid execution during frontline field missions.

Rapid deployment towers for tactical C4ISR and base defence

In fast-moving operational theatres, setup speed directly affects force survivability and tactical effectiveness. Tower Solutions’ mobile platforms deliver unmatched deployment performance, raising payloads weighing up to 2,000lbs to maximum working heights in two to eight minutes.

Operated via automated single-button controls, these systems eliminate the need for dangerous elevated climbing, the use of cranes, or complex manual guy-wire rigging. These rapid-elevation platforms serve as critical nodes for Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (C4ISR) networks.

Whether deployed for perimeter surveillance, Counter-Unmanned Aircraft Systems (C-UAS), drone tracking, or remote weapon systems, our towers extend visual and signal reach while minimising operator exposure.

Our military tower products support various applications, including:

• Drone tracking and communication
• Counter-Unmanned Aircraft Systems (C-UAS)
• Force and base protection lighting
• Remote weapon systems

Additionally, our towers can be fully customised to meet your specific requirements with assistance from our in-house engineering team.

Small Tower Series for compact and discreet mobility

For operations requiring agility, low profile, and rapid transit, the Small Tower Series provides exceptional mobility without compromising lifting capacity. Models like the STS-9 and STS-12 are specifically designed for mounting directly onto light utility vehicles, pickup truck beds, or small trailers.

These compact units deploy payloads up to 650lbs to working heights in two minutes or less and can be controlled directly from inside the vehicle cab. With optional battery solutions and power generation, the Small Tower Series enables silent operation during covert surveillance, reconnaissance, and emergency response operations where low signatures are vital.

Large Tower Series and High-Capacity Trailer Units

For heavy-payload, long-term, and high-altitude deployments, Tower Solutions offers robust trailer-mounted platforms engineered for harsh environmental conditions.

• PTM-130: Highly portable, ATTLA-certified for C-130 tactical transport, and capable of raising 2,000lbs to 80ft in five minutes. Designed for portability, easy towing, quick setup, and stability, making it the most compact tower of its height on the market
• PTX-100: Engineered for rugged terrain and extended deployment periods, elevating 2,000lbs to 80ft in eight minutes using integrated outriggers. Suitable for deployment in harsh environments for extended periods, whether weeks, months, or even years.
• PTW-100: Built for maximum stability, deploying up to 120ft in under eight minutes. Its patented single-motion outrigger base (49ft x 49ft) and direct outrigger-attached guy wires allow it to withstand hurricane-force winds without ground penetration.

Custom engineering, hybrid power, and system integration

Understanding that no two missions share identical constraints, Tower Solutions builds fully customisable tower solutions tailored to exact customer parameters. Our internal engineering team works directly with military contractors and government agencies to integrate specialised sensors, environmental shelters, cable management reels, and digital height-positioning systems.

To maintain long-term continuous operation at remote, off-grid outposts, our heavy-duty towers can be integrated with alternative power systems, including lithium-ion battery banks, solar arrays, and high-capacity diesel generators.
