THE HANDY LOW COST PORTABLE MASTS WITH 101 USES

The Clark QTM lightweight air-operated telescopic mast series was first introduced back in 1959. There was the need for an easily handled portable mast. Then, as now, the distinguishing feature is the attached handpump. This method of extension makes the mast self contained, lightweight, easy to extend and very gentle in retraction. QTM series masts are used for lifting antennas, sound measurement, air polution monitoring equipment and a great deal of other apparatus which does not need to turn. Normally the QT mast is not intended for applications where the headload must be turned by rotating the whole mast. For such applications the H, P or PX series should be used. There is also a full range of Accessories available, including the free standing tripod shown above, as well as guy & guy pickets for use in strong winds, weather covers, vechicle mounting and shelter attachment brackets.

Being the most common in-service Clark mast, the QTM series enjoy short delivery leadtimes. Their higher usage also makes them one of the lowest cost mast series available. For this reason, when considering a Clark mast for your application, we advise you to consider a mast from the QTM Series first.

Below are shown brief QTM series specifications and pricing.

A very simple system of masts which has been in continuous production since 1959, QT masts have found their applications in every corner of the world.

Why are they so popular?
The answer lies in the concept. Pneumatically extended, telescopic, aluminium alloy, makes the principle simple, as our competitors have found. Being complete with attached hand pump, they are a complete system in themselves. What turns simplicity into sophistication are the details, included on every mast.

Clamping collars which make erection permanent at any height, up to the maximum of the mast, independent of air pressure. Guy collars are already fixed at the most appropriate height. A 24 mm clamp collar that really clamps the spigot of the headload and releases instantly when required, every time, year after year. Also to be mentioned is the wide range of standard accessories which makes this mast series truly universal.

Normally the QT mast is not intended for applications where the headload must be turned by rotating the whole mast. For such applications the H, P or PX series should be used.

QT Masts are silent, smooth and easy to operate in every application.
