These mast systems are built using bi-stable reeled composite material — PP and glass fiber composite that stores flat and rolled in a compact carry bag, but deploys rigid and erect without tools or mechanical locking mechanisms. No moving parts to jam or freeze. Maintenance free. Weather resistant and recoverable even when iced up. Lighter and faster to deploy than conventional telescoping aluminum masts. UV-resistant nylon fabric cover. Available in Multicam and black. Manufactured in the UK. Berry compliant across all system families.

System 50 — Single Tube Mast
The most compact and lightweight option in the lineup — designed to minimize packed volume, weight, and complexity for personnel deploying surveillance and light communications technology.
System 50 Single Tube Mast
2m, 3m, and 4m heights — ultra-compact
The System 50 is the smallest and lightest mast available through PTS — ideal for discrete surveillance and communications applications where packed volume, weight, and simplicity are the primary constraints. Deploys and recovers in minutes with minimum personnel. No moving parts. Maintenance free. Recoverable even when iced up. The top cap includes a 30mm spigot mount for fitting top loads.

System 75 — Double Tube Mast
Two-tube configuration for significantly higher top load capacity. Same compact packed volume and rapid deployment as the single tube variant — built for heavier antenna payloads and equipment mounting requirements.
System 75 Double Tube Mast
3m, 4m, 5m, and 7m heights — high top load
The System 75 Double Tube delivers significantly higher top load capacity compared to the single tube variant — up to 23kg at 3m — while maintaining the same rapid deployment profile and compact packed volume. Suited for heavier antenna arrays, sensor packages, or communications equipment that exceed the capacity of single tube systems.

Frequently asked questions
Bi-stable reeled composite is a PP and glass fiber composite material with two stable states — flat and rolled for storage, or rigid and erect when deployed. This eliminates moving parts, mechanical locks, and the jamming and freezing failures common with conventional telescoping aluminum masts. The result is a mast that deploys without tools, maintains operability even when iced up, is virtually maintenance free, and packs into a fraction of the volume of equivalent-height conventional masts.
Single tube masts are lighter and more compact — optimized for standard communications and surveillance top loads. Double tube masts use two tubes in parallel and support significantly higher top loads at equivalent heights. At 3m, the single tube supports up to 11kg while the double tube supports up to 23kg. The right choice depends on the weight of the antenna or sensor payload being elevated.
All PTS E-Kit™ configurations include the System 75 7m Single Tube (MST-RTL-307000) carrying the integrated VHF/UHF antenna system (ANT-RTL-307005-1-1) covering 30–88 MHz VHF and 225–512 MHz UHF simultaneously.
The System 100 is available in 8m and 10m configurations. Both versions can be set at any height up to their maximum and support external vehicle mounting via integrated cage base mounting points.
System 50 and System 75 (single and double tube) are available in Multicam and black. The System 100 is available in black only due to its aluminium cage construction.
