The new Fth 40/9 Mobile Antenna Mast is available
After only one year of development, SMAG Mobile Antenna Masts (SMAG), headquartered in Salzgitter, launches a new type of guyless 40 m antenna mast. Under the brand name Fth 40/9, the innovative system is about to be introduced on the market. The prototype mast has been handed over to the first customer, who is carrying out further trials in the field. At the same time, the series production has started. The new system builds on the proven, robust quality of the previous mast series, but offers significantly more reach. With a height of up to 40 m, the mast creates real added value for the user and thus meets the increased customer requirements.
The prototype antenna mast type Fth 40/9 has been successfully tested on a Defense Technology Center site (WTD), ensuring reliable operation. „We provide our customers a compact, low-maintenance and weightreduced Mobile Antenna Mast which was previously not available for a mast height of 40m. During the development process many buying criterias were considered. Complemented by our many years of experience and a diversified service profile, we have achieved an outstanding unique selling position on the market and we intend to strengthen it further“, comments Wolfgang Schnelle, Managing Director of SMAG Mobile Antenna Masts GmbH. Despite its enormous height, the mast package is easy to handle and has retained the basic 20-foot dimensions that are important to many buyers. A particular feature is the quick fully automatic assembly of the complete system, which takes only 6 minutes thanks to the novel drive. Depending on demand, the mast can be extended from 10 - 40 m and continiously been operated in intermediate heights. The current mast configuration allows a permissible head load of 600 kg. For several decades, SMAG has been manufacturing the carrier systems known in the industry as "Salzgitter Mast", whose sophisticated technology and high quality standards are appreciated by customers worldwide. The systems can be used in semi- or fully-automatic operation even at high wind speeds and at different mast heights. They require only short set-up and dismantling times, work extremely accurately at the mast top and have high mobility. Whether little space or rough terrain – they are suitable for a wide range of applications in the civil and military sector. Thus, information flows can be ensured and maintained also in the most remote locations and under the most difficult environmental conditions. With the new Fth 40/9 series, SMAG is responding to current market developments and offering its customers another contemporary solution.
