Overview Fireco's "Mec Mast" is a electro-mechanical telescopic mast designed predominantly for use within the Defence and Military industry. The mast is driven by an electric motor and lead screw configuration and has provisions to be operated while driving. The mast can be controlled to extend to predetermined heights with the use of the internal encoder. The Mec Mast is available in base diameters of 127, 152, 200 and 250mm and extended heights up to 20m with max payloads of 250kg.
Control Options The Mec Mast can be controlled with the use of a Laptop/PC, wired remote control or touchscreen.
Features 24VDC Operation MIL-STD Compliant Emergency Stop Manual Safety Override
Fireco have now released the "Super Steady" range of telescopic pneumatic mast that incorporate positive locking collars to lock the sections together for extended periods.
The Super Steady masts start at a base diameter of 115mm up to 340mm allowing for more than 180 height configurations ranging between 3 to 40m. See the "Steady" masts for extended and retracted height configurations.
Each collar incorporate two positive locking mechanisms to lock the telescopic sections together while in the extended position without the need to maintain air pressure. This is beneficial for applications that require a telescopic mast to be deployed for long periods such as in the communications, military, construction industry.
The Super Steady masts, similar to the Steady masts can be laterally supported with guy ropes, increasing the stability of the mast. The guy ropes are made from a strong yet lightweight material called Dyneema which has similar strength characteristics to steel rope. The Dyneema guy ropes are also resistant to moisture and sun light.
As with the Partner and Steady mast range, internally coiled cable, turnable bases and pneumatic accessories can be used with the Super Steady masts.
Added wiper seals (Sand Scraper Rings) can also be supplied to prevent ingress of dirt and grit whilst the mast is deployed in harsh Australian conditions.
For more information, pricing and discussion with our technical team, please contact our office (03 5420 7444) or submit a website enquiry.

The patented Fireco Aquamast is a pneumatic telescopic mast that has an internal telescopic water way which can be fitted with a monitor of your choice. The Aquamast has been designed for high elevation fire fighting, particularly in narrow streets, industrial sites, refineries etc where larger aerial appliances cannot access. Aquamast models range from an extended height of 4m to 13m and are capable of flow rates from 1000 LPM on the tallest masts up to 6400 LPM on the smallest masts.
Fireco Roof Masts are horizontally stowed (fold down) masts and are suited in roof mounted vehicle or trailer applications where there is not enough room to mount a traditional vertical pnuematic telescopic mast. Actuators raise the mast from the horizontal position to the vertical position. An in-built compressor raises the mast vertically. The NOVA Tilt and Turn unit allows the Lights (or other equipment) to be directed to the location where required. The system can be automatically stowed using the wired (or wireless) multifunction remote control. The system also includes a safety feature that can be intergrated into the vehicle’s park brake so that if it is released while the mast is raised then the mast will automatically stow.
The Fireco Roof Masts are supplied as standard with the Tilit and Turn Unit, wired Remote Control, built in Compressor, mast raised micro-switch, emergency stop. The electrical connections include two looms which are 3m in length; one for the lights and one for the compressor and control circuitry.
The Fireco telescopic mast is configured with interal cabling to power the Tilt and Turn Unit along with the LEDs or other equipment that is mounted on the mast head.
Fireco "Compact Masts" are similar to the Partner masts, but they are fitted with special collars that reduce the retracted height of the mast. A Compact mast is approx 12% lighter than a Partner Mast. The Compact mast has the same extended height as the Partner Mast, but the retracted length is reduced by approx 13mm per section.
For example a STANDARD CS.3434.N Partner mast has an extended height of 4.440m and a retracted height of 1.583m. A STANDARD CS.8434.N Compact mast has an extended height of 4.440m and a retracted height of 1.531m.
Compact mast - Recessed collars that allow for minimum retracted heights.
Fireco "PARTNER" masts range from an extended height of 1.8m up to 40m and are supplied in diameters ranging from 64mm up to 250. Partner masts can handle large Head loads and can be fitted with an extensive range of internal cable configurations. Each mast section is keyed to prevent the individual sections rotating and can be supplied with a Non turnable, manually turnable and Electric turnable base.

TILT AND TURN
The tilt and turn units are designed to be mounted on selected Partner masts to allow directional control of the lighting mounted to the top of the mast. Available in both 12 and 24VDC.
The "Guardian" is a system that can be coupled with a Fireco mast to protect the equipment and operators by monitoring the surrounding environment. The system is capable of monitoring variables such as magnetic field for power line detection, horizontal level detection to protect from overturning the mast and proximity sensor to avoid collisions (up to 3m away).
Electrical Base for remote turning of the mast
Fireco Partner masts can be equiped with an electrical turning base to control the direction of the equipment. The bases can be supplied in 12 or 24v.
