Where do I get a mast that is actually rated to perform with my antenna head load?  

 

 

Array Solutions Antenna masts solve this problem for ham and commercial customers and now we offer them up to 42 foot long with our new PE certified mast coupler!

These are Chrome  Moly and 1026 DOM steel tubing masts rated and certified to withstand serious antenna loads by ASTM Standards.  These are the only steel tubing masts that Professional Engineers will rate for top of tower antenna mast duty in all parts of the country.  These masts are hot dipped galvanized inside and out with special care to give them gleaming results to last a lifetime.

The new PE Certified Mast coupler allows us to extend Masts up to 42 feet. See the details Here> Mast Coupler

Others may say they sell you "their" masts, but do they actually handle the masts themselves? Ask them if they just don't drop ship them from a galvanizer in another state sight unseen.

Do they Protect the finish?

We put them in heavy duty cardboard tubes to assure you won't be dissatisfied.

 

We actually inspect each mast to be certain the galvanizing was done correctly before we accept it from the galvanizer.  The ones that don't meet the quality test get re-galvanized!  There have been too many stories about masts that were poorly galvanized, and after you pay a $150+ for shipping you get stuck with it.  Don't let this happen to you. We package the tubes in their own special tubes, so no damage will occur to the protective finish.

These masts are shipped to you via truck freight, It's best if

A) you can have it delivered to a commercial address or

B) pick it up at the freight dock or

C) be present when the truck comes to make delivery. The freight company charges a residential delivery fee of $61 We arrange for you to track the shipment as it progresses with a PRO number via the internet.
 

Since we are now buying in volume you get a  better price!  Please consider these products in our antenna mast lineup.
