INVERTED MASTS
Our masts can be used inverted (downwards) by utilising a winch and guy ropes – usually while mounted on a QPOD or fixed to a structure. They have proved an invaluable tool within the offshore oil industry as they are used for underwater inspection and installation monitoring without the need for a diver entering a very dangerous environment. They are also used in other industries for inspecting inside shafts, vessels and pipes. Portable masts of any size can also be inverted using our standard QPOD with an adapter kit.
