AFS 1300
The Need
ARE Telecom provided the U.S. National Park Service to mobilize and install our AFS 1300 ballasted foundation system with an 80’ tilt-up monopole and hydraulic raising system to support a solar powered communication antenna to the park.
Overview
ARE’s AFS 1300 ballasted foundation system is a versatile system designed to provide ease of portability and installation while providing a solid base for monopoles up to 80’. Our hydraulic pole raising system allows the pole to be lifted and lowered without a crane. This results in significantly easier maintenance.
