Mast ballast base with telescopic mast ELKO-BIS MBT-5.4 — telescopic height 5.4 m, ballast mounting base

ELKO-BIS MBT-5.4 is a ballast base with a telescopic mast that extends to 5.4 m, intended to provide a stable, non-penetrating mounting point for antennas, masts and lightweight equipment. The telescopic sections allow incremental height adjustment while the ballast base secures the installation without drilling into surfaces. The product is suitable for temporary or semi-permanent setups on flat roofs, terraces and other horizontal platforms where permanent fixtures are impractical.

Advantages

The ballast base design enables secure mounting using weighted ballast rather than permanent anchors, reducing the need for roof penetrations and structural alterations. Telescopic mast sections provide flexible height adjustment up to 5.4 m, allowing optimized antenna positioning. Constructed for outdoor use, the unit supports simple installation and removal and is compatible with a variety of pole-mounted accessories and lightweight equipment.

Suitable for

• Temporary antenna installations on flat roofs and terraces
• Mobile setups and event-based communications
• Testing and short-term measurement campaigns
• Situations where roof penetration is not allowed or undesirable

Key specifications

• Telescopic mast maximum height: 5.4 m
• Mounting type: ballast base (requires external ballast weight)
• Compatibility: designed for lightweight antennas, masts and accessory fittings
• Intended surfaces: flat horizontal platforms such as roofs and terraces
• Adjustability: multiple telescopic sections for height tuning

How to use

Place the ballast base on a stable, level surface and assemble the telescopic mast sections according to the required height, ensuring each section is securely locked. Add appropriate ballast weight evenly around the base to achieve the recommended stability for the mounted equipment. Attach the antenna or accessory to the top mast fitting using compatible clamps or brackets and verify alignment and stability before use. Periodically inspect the mast sections, mountings and ballast distribution, especially after strong wind or weather events.

Usage recommendations

Use suitable, evenly distributed ballast weight that matches local wind and load conditions; avoid improvised or uneven weight distributions. Follow local regulations for rooftop installations and verify that the supporting surface can bear the combined load of the base, ballast and mounted equipment. For long-term or critical installations consider additional guying or a permanent mounting solution.
