A2Z FRMM series Folding Roof-mount Mechanical Mast System

A2Z FRMM or Folding Roof mount Mechanical Mast system is a premium-grade, alternative solution to the traditional pneumatic type tilting roof mount telescopic mast systems. Collapsing style mast systems for roof mount installation on vehicles are most popular for equipping powerful mobile lighting solutions on emergency and service vehicles such as firetrucks or command vehicles, but likewise have been evermore commonly utilized for a range of vehicle applications involving other tactical equipment lift purposes, such as for sensory devices like surveillance cameras and more. The A2Z FRMM series mast like tilting roof mount mast systems enable a low-profile system that occupies often free-space on a vehicle or trailer roof, this can solve placement issues which might otherwise obstruct functional portions of such vehicles including doors to storage compartments and more. In some cases, the FRMM and like roof mount telescopic mast can provide a secondary lift solution to vehicles or trailers which may already have another mast system serving alternative purposes like radio and/or wireless communications. The A2Z FRMM series Folding Roof mount Mechanical Mast system however provides distinct advantages to their traditional pneumatic counterparts, setting new standards in high-performance, high reliability, mobile-grade auxiliary equipment lifts solutions.

The RFMM series Main Features:

• Two standard models providing approx. 6.75ft or 9ft lift heights
• Hardwired Remote Control w/options & System PWR/Control Interface Box Included
• Diverse range of Potential Functions - Features Simple Auto-Run Mast Operation
• Wide selection of Accessory & Customized options for the perfect package or build your own solution
• Customized Video (i.e. Cameras, PTZ Cameras), Audio - Public Address, Wireless Communications solutions,
• Specialized Sensory and Plenty More available
• Systems with 12V or 24V DC power input as well as 120V or 240V AC power options available
• Produced with top grade materials, primary frame high-grade anodized aluminum
• Innovative Motorized Electric Design for far fewer failure points & increased reliability
• Light Weight yet incredible strength with full system (excluding customized payload) weighing under 65 lbs.
• Superior Payload Support with options up to 85 lbs. max payload support
• Weatherproof for Harsh Environments, Mobile-Ready with high resistance to Extreme Temperatures
• Superior Performance and Longevity in high particle environments like sand, dust, etc.
• Flexible builds with 12V or 24V DC power input as well as 120V or 240V AC powered units

A2Z's Folding Roof mount Mechanical Mast system differs from the common pneumatic tilt mast solutions by most notably using an intelligently designed structure plus mechanics combo to erect and retract your custom payload. This means unlike pneumatic mast, the FRMM uses a simplified motorized operation to perform its full range of lifting motion. This means there is no hydraulic tilt mechanism, no compressor and no air operated telescopic mast with seals to wear out or fail. In addition to this added reliability by design, the FRMM system can also be more resilient to performing consistently in extreme temperatures including harsh weather conditions like snow or ice. Further, it is also more resistant to high particle environments such as those with higher amounts of sand or dust which are notorious for shortening the life-span of the seals used on all pneumatic type mast systems. The solution operates by default on DC voltages making it ideal for mobile and vehicle applications while its innovative design easily accommodates endless equipment headload possibilities.

The FRMM series Folding Roof mount Mechanical Mast system therefore is a superior choice for a rugged and weatherproof lift solution not limited to use on cars, trucks, vans, SUVs, enclosed trailers. The standard models FRMM-21 and FRMM-28 offer approx. 6.75ft or 9ft lift height respectively when fully erected. Its frame excluding your customized payload measures a mere 3.65ft or 4.8ft length respectively and only about 1.5ft width (excluding added payloads) making among the best choices for projects with minimal space to spare. Each system includes by default an FRMM unit, a compact control/power interface box and a handheld wired remote control. Optional combo cable including multiple power and signal cable types in a single wired jacket is also available while end-users can also consult with A2Z Experts regarding support for using their own cable solutions. A2Z and its Experts also already provide powerful Lighting equipped FRMM series units such as PTL-FRMM builds or can provide other turn-key custom FRMM based solutions, especially those supporting surveillance and wireless technologies.
