Specialty Fiberglass Tower
Mount a Variety of Equipment on Jaquith's Specialty Fiberglass Frangible & Non-Frangible Masts
Jaquith Industries has consistently worked with industry partners to develop & deploy innovative frangible airfield technology. The LIR Fiberglass Frangible Mast is no longer just for approach lighting, but can support a wide variety of applications in the RSA (Runway Safety Area) from ground field radar to area lighting. Common configurations include: Runway Visual Range (RVR), Airport Surface Detection Equipment, Model X (ASDE-X), Area Flood Lighting.
In the 1980's, working with the FAA Central Region, Jaquith Industries, using the LIR design, developed a specialty non-frangible fiberglass tower for equipment outside required airfield frangibility zones. These specialty towers support a wide array of equipment including:
These rigid masts are lowered for service just as the frangible version, using a lifting/lowering device that is operated by one maintenance technician. Minimal maintenance and ease of operation have been the keys to these Specialty masts deployment across the USA.
- Remote Communications Air to Ground (RCAG)
- Back-Up Emergency Communication (BUEC)
- Tactical Air Navigation Monitors (TACAN)
- Moving Target Indicator (MTI)
