STV-L/02 — Semi-Mobile Mounting Base Plate for STV Masts

Overview

The STV-L/02 by Trival Antene is a robust base plate engineered for the semi-mobile mounting of STV telescopic antenna masts. By utilizing a vehicle's wheel for stabilization, this mount provides a highly secure foundation without requiring soil penetration, making it an essential component for rapid tactical communication deployments in challenging terrain.

Technical Summary

• Construction: Durable steel plate
• Stabilization Mechanism: Vehicle wheel drive-over
• Mast Retention: Integrated locking bracket hole
• Orientation Control: Prevents mast rotation and drift

Operational Use Cases

Designed for tactical communications requiring rapid, temporary establishment of antenna masts from ground vehicles. It is particularly valuable for establishing semi-mobile nodes where maintaining precise directional antenna alignment is critical.

Deployment Environments

Ideal for deployment on hard surfaces such as concrete, urban pavement, or solid rock terrain where traditional base plate anchors cannot be driven into the soil.

Setup & Portability

Deployment is achieved quickly by driving one of the vehicle's wheels over the steel plate. Once the base is anchored by the vehicle's weight, the STV mast is inserted directly into the locking bracket hole and secured into a fixed position.

Compatibility

Compatible with STV telescopic antenna masts. The integrated locking bracket effectively supports the use of directional antennas by locking the mast's orientation and preventing wind-induced rotation.

FAQs

• Is this base plate compatible with any brand of telescopic mast? This base plate is designed for the STV series of telescopic antenna masts. You should verify compatibility with your specific STV mast model prior to procurement.
• What is a drive-on mount used for? A drive-on mount uses the weight of a vehicle's wheel to secure a mast base plate. This method provides stable, temporary installation on hard surfaces like concrete or rock where driving ground stakes is not feasible.
• Why is a locking bracket important on a mast mount? The locking bracket prevents the mast from rotating after installation. This is a critical feature for maintaining the precise aiming direction required by directional antennas to ensure a stable communications link.
• Problems we solve: how do we choose a mounting or mast solution? Antenna loads, available space and deployment conditions can make mounting selection difficult. Bring those constraints to Cyntony to narrow options and identify load ratings, installation details and manufacturer questions that need confirmation (Our process).
• Outcomes we deliver: what comes from working through the requirements? The practical outcome is a requirements-led set of product options to evaluate with Cyntony. Confirm performance, compatibility and any service scope for your configuration before selection (Our process).

Video Notes

A brief demonstration showing a vehicle driving over the base plate, followed by the insertion and locking of an STV mast, would clearly illustrate the ease of setup on hard surfaces.
