Mast Systems (Single Skin 2, 3 & 4” Diameter)
Benefiting from the characteristics of modern
composite technology, for over fifteen years RolaTube
masts have been providing a unique capability for
the mounting of antenna, cameras and sensors in the
Expeditionary environment. From tried and trusted
systems to the new products continuously being
developed, RolaTube masts continue to deliver the
benefits of exceptionally low weight and small volume
when compared to competitive technology.
The Rollable, Structural Composite Technology | www.rolatube-expeditionary-systems.com
Standard single skin masts are
currently 2”, 3” and 4”, with
deployment heights ranging from
1m to 10m and top loads of up to
12kg (26lb). Double skin masts of 3”
diameter are available with top loads
of up to 18kg (38lb)
Mast Systems (Double Skin 3” Diameter)
Double Mast Systems work by combining two single
masts, one slid inside the other, which delivers a
substantial increase in torsional strength and top
loading capability.
This characteristic makes double mast systems ideal for
those sensors and antennas that are in excess of 5kg
and require high levels of stability with minimal penalty in
terms of weight, volume or deployment times.
The Rollable, Structural Composite Technology | www.rolatube-expeditionary-systems.com
Suitable for top loads up to 20kg
Suitable for systems with
directional antennas or cameras
Max Wind Speed: 60mph
RolaTube Mast / Tripod Combination System
Double 5m 3” Mast / Tripod
System with a Radwin
MicroWave antenna deployed
Single Mast / Tripod System
with RolaCage deploying an
Aruba Wifi Access Point
For applications where the tripod system alone
does not achieve the desired height for sensor
or aerial mounting, REX offers a range of Mast/
Tripod combinations that link the benefits of
both systems into a single package. Single skin
versions can take loads of up to 5kg (11lb),
double skin versions can take loads of up to
18kg (38lb).
By combining the stability of a tripod with the
height of a mast, the unguyed Mast/Tripod
systems create a unique solution for rapid
deployment of sensors and aerials in the
Expeditionary sector, while retaining the valuable
portability benefits of lightweight and very low
packed volumes. For higher masts or high wind
environments, ancillary kits are available to guy
the mast and ensure stability.
The Rollable, Structural Composite Technology | www.rolatube-expeditionary-systems.com
Mast Ancillaries
REX has developed a range of Mast
Ancillaries which either assist mast
deployment, or provide solutions for
mounting different payloads onto the
deployed mast. Bespoke mast ancillaries
for specific customer requirements are
part of the service provided by REX.
The Rollable, Structural Composite Technology | www.rolatube-expeditionary-systems.com
RolaTube Tripod Systems
To augment its range of standard mast
systems, REX has developed a family of 1m
and 2m tripods which allows the easy and
stable mounting of sensors, cameras and
other systems at lower levels, without the
need for guy ropes or ground fixings.
As with mast systems, tripod systems
deliver outstanding performance in terms of
packed volume and weight for Expeditionary
applications. REX tripods can be used
standalone or in conjunction with the 3”
diameter single or double skinned masts to
deliver greater height, versatility and urban /
flat roof-top deployment options.

Camouflage Net Pole Support System
In order to support the next generations of sensor
defeat camouflage netting, REX has developed a
RolaTube based Camouflage Net Support System.
When compared to traditional sectional aluminium
pole systems, the RolaTube system dramatically
reduces both deployment times and the bulk and
weight that needs to be carried into the field.
The Rollable, Structural Composite Technology | www.rolatube-expeditionary-systems.com
Being manufactured from highly robust composite
and plastic materials, the RolaTube Camouflage Net
Support System also delivers significant benefits in
terms of reduced thermal radiation and microwave
absorption.
Technical Information
RolaTube military systems
have been tested in accordance
with the relevant criteria of the
MIL STD-810G environmental
ruggedisation guidelines
Masts and tripods are manufactured in thermoplastic composites
which are non-conductive.
All masts can be used in wind speeds up to 60mph when correctly
guyed and deployed in accordance with the user guide.
Top load varies depending on mast height and diameter but is
up to 12kg for single masts and 20kg for double masts. It is the
responsibility of the user to ensure the safety and stability of the
top load in accordance with the user guide.
