I am selling my pneumatic mast and air compressor. The mast uses compressed air to raise the mast. It can be raised and lowered by using the supplied switch, or wirelessly using an iPhone/Android/Windows app. It can handle a top load of up to 50kg and wind speeds of 125km/h.
I used this mast with a Yaesu G-1000 rotator and various antennas including K4KIO Hexbeam and 3-el Ultrabeam, no guy wires required. It can be mounted on a vehicle, caravan, or trailer as it only weighs 26kg. Perfect for portable operation. Ideal for radio clubs wanting a portable mast.
The mast is manufactured in Italy and is a current model sold by EVTA Group in Gisborne, Victoria. It was purchased in 2015 and is fully supported by them. It is in excellent condition with only a few superficial scratches on the outside of the mast.
It has been fully checked and serviced by EVTA in April 2025.
