The maximum payload for the mast is 22.6 kg / 50 lbs total. The payload weight should be evenly
distributed around or divided per arms on the mast. For example, if you have 4 arms and a total payload
of 22.6 kg / 50 lbs, place 5.65 kg / 12.5 lbs on each arm. The cable and platform bracket weight must
be considered in the maximum payload weight. If the cable weight is significant, it may be possible to
route the cable opposite the payload weight or to loosely wrap the cable around the tubes.
Do not deploy the mast in winds greater than 32 kmh / 20 mph.
For payload weights and wind sail areas outside website specified
limits, contact the Will-Burt Company.
2m / 8 ft. to 15m / 49.2 ft. Deployment
Depending on the payload weight and the current wind speeds at
deployment, two or three people are required to raise a 2m / 8 ft. to 15m /
49.2 ft. mast. One person is typically required to load the mast tubes while
one or two people manage the guy lines. Typically, single staking the tripod base
plates is sufficient. Contingent upon the payload weight and the current wind
speeds at deployment, three to five people are required to raise a 13m / 42.6 ft.
to 15m / 49.2 ft. tall mast. One or two people are required to load the mast tubes
while two or three people manage the guy lines. Double staking the tripod base
plates is required.
