Carbon fiber roll-up mast deployable in <60 seconds by a single operator. Elevates antennas, cameras and sensors up to 9 m without tools on uneven terrain.
Rolatube Technology
Rolatube Tactical Mast — Roll-Up Composite Rapid Deployment Mast
Technical specifications
Technical overview
Rolatube Tactical Mast represents a generational leap in field masts. Carbon fiber rolled tubes deploy by their own structural rigidity — no pumps, no ropes, no sections to screw together — reaching up to 9 meters height in less than 60 seconds with a single operator. The system weighs between 2.8 and 8.4 kg depending on configuration and compacts into a 60-80 cm backpack-portable case. Wind resistance certified at 80 km/h with 5 kg payload at the top. Mounting accessories are compatible with standard NMO antenna plates, 3/8" tripod adapters and magnetic bases. Used by UK Special Forces, France (ALAT), Germany (KSK) and multiple NATO forces for VHF/UHF relay deployment, on-the-move SATCOM systems and EO/IR perimeter surveillance cameras.
