This product is based on a design similar to that of a traditional antenna tower but, because it can be fitted with countless types of external cladding, Minarets can become an advertising sign, a medieval tower or other types of architectural structures. The structure consists of a square-section tower designed to be entirely clad with panels made of a radio-electrically transparent material or we can call it non reflective panel. Inside the structure, there is a caged climbing ladder which is accessible from the base of the tower through an access door. These structures are available in heights of 20 to 30 m, and can be supplied with any type of reproduced image and external colorings, either uniform or shaded. Alternatively, customers may send images they intend to reproduce.

Optional Items

The Square Minaret series are supplied complete with legs, web members, base plates, ladders, rest platforms and anchorage steel as required. The following items are supplied as specified:

• Copper grounding
• Cladding material as required
• Touch Up painting if required
• An interchange platform can be supplied at the top to facilitate access to a top mounted antenna
• A cable ladder to support transmission lines
• Antenna mounts to suit specified antennas
• Antennas and transmission lines are as specified by the customer
• Ladder safety climbing device and accessories
• Antenna ice guards
• Transmission line gantry

Applications

• For microwave solid and grid antenna applications up to 1800mm diameter, depending on height and environmental loadings conditions.
• For GSM Cellular radio.
• For supporting UHF, VHF, YAGI and reflector type antennas.
• Various other antenna types and sizes, and loading conditions can be accommodated utilizing suitable sections of the tower. Check with LeBLANC Group Engineering Department for application.

Features
