catalog mast systems. Characteristics of components customized to meet customer-specific
needs may vary. If necessary, contact The Will-Burt Company for additional details.
The exact configuration of the mast may vary. For detailed information on the locations of
components in your system, see the drawings that shipped with the system.
Telescoping Mast: The telescoping mast is the structure used to raise the payload to an
operational level. It consists of several concentric, nesting tubes, fabricated from aluminum
tubes, that extend and retract.

Figure 2-1 Telescoping Masts (Not to Scale)

The base tube is constructed from the tube with the largest diameter and the top tube is
constructed from the tube with the smallest diameter. The intermediate tubes are any tube in
between the base tube and top tube.
Aluminum collars are fitted to the top end of each tube, except for the top tube, which is fitted
with a top tube stop. When the telescoping mast is completely retracted, the collars nest on top
of each other. Identification plates are secured to the collar on the base tube.
