Guide to Selecting Telescopic Mast Height for Solar Towers

I. Introduction: Core Significance of Mast Height Selection
Telescopic mast height directly determines the coverage area and surveillance performance of solar surveillance trailers, serving as a key configuration to adapt to different scenarios.

BIGLUX's solar surveillance trailer telescopic mast series (4m/7m/9m), built on a decade of mobile solar technology expertise, adopts highly adaptable materials and structural designs to precisely match multi-scenario security needs. Scientific height selection not only eliminates surveillance blind spots but also controls deployment costs, maximizing overall efficiency.

II. Three Core Factors Influencing Mast Height Selection
(1) Scenario Requirement Dimension

• Small enclosed areas (radius ≤50m): Such as community entrances/exits, small warehouses, and temporary roof maintenance surveillance. A 4m mast suffices for full coverage without extra transportation or installation costs.
• Medium open areas (50-100m): Like construction sites, park perimeters, and commercial parking lots. A 7m mast easily clears fences and low-rise buildings, balancing coverage and flexibility.
• Large unobstructed areas (≥100m): Such as mining areas, long-distance security lines, and large logistics parks. A 9m mast penetrates long-distance visibility obstacles, paired with 360° electric rotation for full-area coverage without blind spots.

(2) Product Adaptation Dimension

• Material & Structure: The 4m mast features aluminum alloy anodization (oxide film thickness ≥20μm) for corrosion resistance and light weight, with a 3-section telescopic design ideal for frequent transportation. Both 7m and 9m masts adopt Q235 steel square telescopic structures; the 9m model has 9 telescopic sections and electric lifting for ease of use, capable of withstanding high salt spray and sandy environments (e.g., mining areas and coastal regions) with a service life exceeding 10 years.
• Load Capacity & Wind Resistance: The 7m mast supports a load of up to 70kg, enabling simultaneous mounting of 4K cameras, lighting fixtures, and AI sensors. The entire series boasts a wind resistance rating of 117kph, passing Australian extreme climate tests for stable operation in heavy rain and intense sunlight.
• Operation Method: The 4m mast comes standard with manual lifting, suitable for short-term use. The 7m/9m masts offer optional manual or electric lifting, reaching the desired height in 30 seconds to significantly reduce labor costs.

(3) Practical Adaptation Dimension

• Transportation & Installation: The 4m mast folds into a compact size, movable by forklift and deployable by a single person. The 9m mast requires a forklift hole base for fixation, suitable for long-term stationing.
• Maintenance Cost: Aluminum alloy masts need no additional rust prevention; steel masts use hot-dip galvanization, requiring only inspections of telescopic locking structures with a maintenance cycle of ≥6 months.
• Equipment Compatibility: For mounting multiple devices (camera + lighting + sensor) with a total weight exceeding 40kg, the 7m/9m mast is recommended to avoid stability issues from insufficient load capacity.

IV. Practical Selection Tips
Mandatory On-site Survey: Measure obstacle heights to ensure the mast is at least 1.2m taller than the highest obstruction, avoiding visibility blockages.

• Prefer Lightweight Models for Short-term Projects: For temporary projects (e.g., event security, short-term construction), choose the 4m or 7m aluminum mast. Its portability facilitates transportation, and it can be reused across sites after project completion to improve equipment utilization.
• Customized Adaptation: For special scenarios (e.g., coastal high salt spray, extreme cold regions), contact the team for customized solutions. A diesel generator backup power supply can be paired to ensure uninterrupted operation during consecutive rainy days.

V. Exclusive Support from BIGLUX

• On-site Survey Key Points: Measure surveillance coverage radius and obstacle heights (mast must be at least 1.5m taller than obstructions); calculate total mounted equipment weight to not exceed the mast’s rated load.
• Customization Support: BIGLUX customizes mast materials and lifting methods based on scenario needs, providing end-to-end services from selection consultation to installation and commissioning.
• Product Guarantee: The entire telescopic mast series passes outdoor durability tests, adapting to different climatic conditions. Paired with solar surveillance trailers, it operates independently in off-grid scenarios and is widely used in security projects worldwide.
