UT20 Universal 6m (20 ft) Instrument Tower & Mast

The UT20 is a durable instrument tower that can be used for a variety of applications. The UT20 tower provides a sturdy mount for many meteorological monitoring applications—especially fire weather stations, where a 6 m (20 ft) measurement height for wind sensors is standard. It also holds antennas, solar panels, environmental enclosures, radiation shields, and crossarms. It is a versatile instrument mount: many of the same sensor mounts that are used with either our tripods or other towers can be used with the UT20.
