Blackhawk AL340 Communications Skid

The genuine beauty of the skid is its versatility – the fully engineered subframe design can be adapted for use in even the most demanding of applications, from military theatre to aerospace monitoring, to black-coal mining environments. The communications skid has an integrated seven-metre Aluminium lattice tower mast, a 1200x600x1000 mm insulated primary electronics cabinet, all while maintaining a 3100 mm transport length and 600 kg curb weight.

Operation is simple and effective; the lattice tower mast is bolted to the desired length, locked into position using m12 zinc bolts, and then raised using a powerful 1.2t winch system with 6 mm Dyneema rope.

The standard supplied communication boxes are as standard in raw aluminium finish. Chassis is hot-dipped galvanised. Through a partnership with leading Queensland painting facilities, the trailer system can be painted to your specific requirement including to MIL-STD and NATO/STANAG standards, such as Olive Drab, Desert Tan, and NATO Green colour schemes.

The versatile design suits a multitude of purposes and can be deployed in a range of applications including:

• Defence and counter-terrorism, and policing operations
• Emergency services/ disaster relief
• Mining CCTV and wireless backhaul
• Cell-on-Skid/ Mesh wireless
• Surveying and surveillance
• Semi-permanent and temporary communications
• Custom designs available
