UT10 10-foot Instrument Tower
The UT10 is a durable, lightweight instrument tower that can be used for a variety of applications. It supports a 10 ft (3 m) measurement height for wind sensors as well as sturdy attachment points for antennas, solar panels, environmental enclosures, radiation shields, and crossarms. It is a versatile instrument mount; many of the same sensor mounts that are used with either our CM6/CM10 tripods or UT20/UT30 towers can be used with the UT10.
Features
10 foot measurement height
Sturdy, long-term instrument mount for attached sensors, mounts, solar panels, enclosures
Base and grounding kit included
Optional guy kit available for additional support
Specifications
Crossarm Measurement Height: 10 ft (3 m)
Material: Hardened Aluminum
Vertical Pipe OD: 1" (2.5 cm)
Cross Support Pipe OD: 0.375" (0.953 cm)
Wind Load Recommendation: 110 mph maximum (assumes proper installation, proper anchoring, adequate soil, and total instrument projected area of less than 2 square feet. The amount of wind load that this mount can withstand is affected by quality of anchoring and installation, soil type,and the number, type, and location of instruments fastened to the UT10.)
Required Concrete Pad Dimensions: 24” x 24” x 24” (61 x 61 x 61 cm)
Concrete pad requirements assume heavy soil; light, shifting, or sandy soils require a larger concrete pad.
UT20 20-ft Instrument Tower
The UT20 is a durable instrument tower that can be used for a variety of applications. It supports a 20 foot (6 m) measurement height for wind sensors for fire weather applications. It also provides sturdy attachment points for antennas, solar panels, environmental enclosures, radiation shields, and crossarms. The UT20 consists of two 10 foot sections, one extendable mast and two cable tie kits.
Features
20 foot measurement height
Support for attached sensors, mounts, solar panels, enclosures
Sturdy, long-term instrument mount
Mounting base and grounding kit required; several options available
Guy kit recommended for additional support
Specifications
Crossarm Measurement Height: 20 ft (6 m)
Material: hardened drawn 6063-T832 aluminum
Vertical Pipe OD: 1" (2.5 cm)
Cross Support Pipe OD: 0.375" (0.953 cm)
Guyed Tower Area Requirements: ~11.5 ft radius
Required Concrete Pad Dimensions for B18 Concrete Mounting Base: 36 L x 36 W x 48 D in. (91 x 91 x 122 cm)
Concrete pad requirements assume heavy soil; light, shifting, or sandy soils require a larger concrete pad.
Maximum Wind Load Recommendations*
B18 base (unguyed): 110 mph
RFM18 base (w/UTGUY): 110 mph
*The recommended wind load assumes proper installation, proper anchoring, and total instrument projected area of less than two square feet. For the RFM18 base, the wind load recommendation also assumes that the UTGUY’s turnbuckles are preloaded just enough to equalize tension and that the tower is guyed at 60 degree angle relative to the ground (maximum). The amount of wind load that these towers can withstand is affected by quality of anchoring and installation, guy wire tension, soil type, guy angle, and the number, type, and location of instruments fastened to the tower.
UT30 30-ft Instrument Tower
The UT30 is a durable instrument tower that can be used for a variety of applications. It supports a 30 foot (10 m) measurement height for wind sensors as well as sturdy attachment points for antennas, solar panels, environmental enclosures, radiation shields, and crossarms. The tower consists of three 10 foot sections, one extendable mast, and two cable tie kits.
Features
30 foot measurement height
Support for attached sensors, mounts, solar panels, enclosures
Sturdy, long-term instrument mount
Mounting base and grounding kit required
Guy kit recommended for additional support

Guyed Tower Area Requirements: ~17 ft radius
Required Concrete Pad Dimensions for B18 Concrete Mounting Base: 36 L x 36 W x 48 D in. (91 x 91 x 122 cm)
Concrete pad requirements assume heavy soil; light, shifting, or sandy soils require a larger concrete pad.
Maximum Wind Load Recommendations*
B18 base (unguyed): 110 mph
RFM18 base (w/UTGUY): 100 mph
*The recommended wind load assumes proper installation, proper anchoring, and total instrument projected area of less than two square feet. For the RFM18 base, the wind load recommendation also assumes that the UTGUY’s turnbuckles are preloaded just enough to equalize tension and that the tower is guyed at 60 degree angle relative to the ground (maximum). The amount of wind load that these towers can withstand is affected by quality of anchoring and installation, guy wire tension, soil type, guy angle, and the number, type, and location of instruments fastened to the tower.
