Antenna handling device

Weighing just 40kg, the CE-marked device can be quickly and easily installed into the basket of a range of truck mounted platforms with working heights between 22 and 70 metres and features 270 degree rotation, 200mm radius adjustment and a lightweight aluminium chain block for precise positioning. The device can accommodate antennas weighing up to 150kg and has also been future-proofed for larger and heavier antennas. 

Derek Stevenson, CMIOSH, DAEL Group SHEQ manager, said: “Mobile Network Operators are experiencing ever-growing demands for fast, reliable and stable network capacities. The latest generation of antennas provide this but are noticeably heavier and larger in size - and in many cases require a crane to install. SkyTel has enabled us to overcome these challenges whilst also providing us greater control with the installation to ensure it is carried out in a safe and productive manner and is cost effective.”
