Tilt-up lattice met masts

A tilt-up lattice met mast is a wind monitoring mast that is assembled at ground level and then raised into position using a winch and gin poles. It is designed to support accurate meteorological data collection while improving installation safety and efficiency.

The mast needs to be laid out flat to the Northeast of the mast base, so you will need in excess of 120 meters of relatively flat clear ground, with no snag hazards for the guy wires during the lift. For this reason, clear fell sites are not suitable.

Despite the site limitations we highly recommend flexibility when choosing the mast base location as the Tilt-Up Lattice mast costs considerably less and can be installed significantly quicker than its Build-Up counterpart.

Dulas tilt-up lattice met masts can be supplied at any heights up to 120m. Our standard product range covers 100m, 110m and 120m.

Because the mast is assembled on the ground, there is no need for working at height during the build. This makes installation safer and more efficient than traditional build-up lattice mast methods.

Once raised, the mast is inspected bi-annually from ground level. We can carry out climbing maintenance visits and instrument swaps without lowering the structure, which helps to support long-term wind monitoring projects and ensures continuity of data.

Yes. The Double K mast is fully compliant with IEC 61400-12-1:2017 and MEASNET standards, supporting reliable wind data collection for site assessment and project development. It also has CE Marking.
