Every once in a while, an invention comes along that transcends its original purpose. Enter the mobile tower. It’s a trailer-mounted telescoping steel or aluminum tower that can reach heights up to 150 feet.
Originally designed to augment fixed communications networks, mobile towers are a versatile tool in any situation where height is a requirement. When is height a requirement? You might be surprised to learn just how often it is:
Lighting
Construction crews work round-the-clock to meet deadlines. Proper jobsite lighting makes this possible and reduces accidents. By using fewer, taller, more powerful lighting systems, crews reduce setup time and can locate lighting systems at the periphery of the job site where they won’t interfere with work. Mobile tower lighting systems are also perfect for outdoor events, concerts, search & rescue …anywhere you need to turn night into day. The TowerWorx Helios lighting system is the most powerful mobile lighting system available.
Sound
Sound travels better through air than through trees and buildings, so the higher the sound source, the further it can travel. Public safety officials use the TowerWorx MNT system to warn residents of tornados, floods, and other threats. The TowerWorx ATON system, original designed for coastal navigation, is also a durable support system for sound reinforcement, lighting, and other large event needs. A mobile tower is an excellent solution for any large-scale public address need.
Forest Monitoring and Surveillance
Forest fires are an ever-increasing threat, but if fire fighters can catch blazes early, they can save lives and prevent millions of dollars of damage. Fitted with surveillance equipment, mobile towers can provide the necessary height and mobility to monitor large areas.
Wireless Communication
Just like sound and lighting, wireless communication doesn’t work as well when there are trees and buildings in the way. Across longer distances, hills and even the curve of the Earth create an impenetrable obstruction to radio and microwave signals. The solution is height, but often fixed towers are impractical. Mobile towers can be located in a parking lot, on the top floor of a garage, in the middle of a field, or on top of a mountain. They can be moved to accommodate changing needs or landscape. As cellular, e911, WiMax, and other services expand into remote areas, mobile towers are often the only way to meet mandates on schedule.
Military Operations
When speed-of-deployment is critical, there’s nothing like a mobile tower. TowerWorx has Low Profile Mil-Spec models that can be transported via C-130 aircraft, helicopter, FMTV and LMTV.
Wherever height and mobility are needed, the best solution is a mobile tower. The US Defense Department and Public Safety Officials around the world trust TowerWorx to produce reliable products because lives are at stake.
