Antenna mast Weiss 3028 — aluminium antenna mast, 800 mm length

Weiss 3028 is an aluminium antenna mast section with an 800 mm length and a natural aluminium finish. It is intended as a short, lightweight extension for antenna installations where a compact and corrosion-resistant mast segment is required. The mast is compatible with common mounting systems and offers a rigid support point for small to medium-sized antennas, rotators, or accessories used in residential and light-commercial setups.

Advantages

This aluminium mast provides a balance of low weight and mechanical stiffness, making handling and installation easier compared with heavier steel alternatives. The natural aluminium surface resists corrosion in outdoor environments and requires minimal maintenance. Its compact 800 mm length suits sites with limited mounting space while still adding usable elevation for improved signal reception or clearer line-of-sight.

Suitable for

• Short-range antenna extensions on rooftops, balconies or poles
• Mounting small to medium TV, FM, or VHF/UHF antennas
• Supporting antenna rotators, junction boxes or lightning arrestors
• Temporary or permanent installations where a compact mast section is needed

When it may not be suitable

This 800 mm aluminium mast is not intended as a full-height primary tower for large antennas or for installations requiring high structural load capacity. For long-span masts, heavy antenna arrays, or locations with extreme wind exposure, a larger diameter or a multi-section steel mast may be more appropriate. Always verify wind load and mechanical requirements before using this short mast segment as part of a larger assembly.

Key specifications

• Material: aluminium
• Length: 800 mm
• Surface finish: natural aluminium
• Typical diameter class: suitable for 38 mm mounting systems (refer to mounting hardware compatibility)
• Corrosion resistance: inherent to aluminium, suitable for outdoor use with minimal maintenance

How to use

Install the mast section by securing it into the compatible mounting clamp or bracket designed for the indicated diameter class. Ensure that all fasteners are tightened to the torque recommended by the mounting hardware manufacturer and that any mating surfaces are aligned to avoid bending loads. When used as an extension, fit the mast into the adjoining section and secure with appropriate clamps, brackets, or bolts. Grounding and lightning protection should be installed according to local regulations and best practices.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm compatibility with your existing mount or mast diameter
• Assess wind load and mechanical strength requirements for your antenna and site
• Plan for grounding and lightning protection where required by local codes
• Verify whether additional clamps, adapters or brackets are needed for installation

Usage recommendations

For safe and durable installations, pair this aluminium mast section with corrosion-resistant clamps and regularly inspect connections for loosening or corrosion. Use proper grounding and follow local installation standards to minimise electrical and weather-related risks.
