Mast Systems
By using Bi-stable Reeled Composites, Rolatube has developed a range of the lightest and most compact expeditionary mast and tripod products available.
With a range aimed at the dismounted soldier, emergency responder and field operatives, the unique benefits of our products allow easier logistics, lighter loads, faster deployment and faster recovery when compared to any other product on the market.

Not satisfied with just supplying structural masts, Rolatube invested in the technology to integrate rollable UHF and VHF high gain antenna panels directly into the composite, thereby creating a “plug and play” product that allows end users to dispense with carrying and mounting separate antennas.
The utility of these Integrated Antenna Mast systems for our end users is unsurpassed, and they remain our “Flagship” mast products.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What Top Loads can the Rolatube Masts take?
The maximum top loads will vary from mast to mast and these loads are quoted in the product Data Sheets, our brochures and on our website. It should be noted that the maximum top load is established around a safe deployment and recovery loading, not what the mast could take when it is fully deployed and correctly guyed into place. If you have any questions about the top load capability of our products, our technical team will always be available to advise.
What Environmental Standards are your masts built to?
To ensure our Military products are fit for purpose in the field, we have developed our mast systems to comply with the relevant clauses of MILSTD810G. In order to offer the Industrial Range at a lower price point, the industrial range of products have had a value engineering exercise completed on them, such that they do not comply with all the relevant clauses of MILSTD810G, but remain perfectly fit for purpose within the Industrial sector. If a customer’s application is going to be exposed to extreme environmental conditions, we would always ask that the Rolatube Technical team is consulted before, and specification is signed off.
How many times can a mast be rolled and unrolled?
We design Bi-stable Reeled Composites to give a cycle life that is appropriate to the application. We can make single cycle life products and products that roll 1000’s of times…it all depends what the application requires, and what the end user requires. Like any expeditionary mast product, Rolatube masts cannot be used indefinitely without some type of degradation. We have been supplying our Bi-stable Reeled Composite masts into the military and industrial sectors for over 20 years, and we are confident that our composite designs have been optimised to meet lifetime requirements of the user communities.
