All Clark Mast users, both civil and military, have common requirements. The equipment they use must have a long life and be reliable. It must work easily and safely in the worst conditions that nature can produce. Clark Masts portable telescopic masts meet these requirements firstly by paying great attention to the design of details, secondly by using only materials which are time-proven beyond all doubt and thirdly by carrying out all the manufacturing processes in their own factory, thus guaranteeing quality.

The operation of a Clark Mast portable mast is not an end in itself. It's role is to support an antenna, lights, camera or other headload which requires height and stability to perform. Users range from individuals engaged in research, photography, to broadcast organizations and defence forces throughout the world. All users enjoy the same service which begins with the correct selection of mast type. With it's very wide range of models (over 200 different models) Clark Masts is technically impartial in its recommendations. A policy of constant detail improvement without loosing interchangeability, guarantees users not only the best performance but also spare parts availability in the long term. As Australian Asia-Pacific factory distributor, Portable Masts Australia Pty Ltd continue this policy within the Australian and Asia-Pacific market, by supplying new mast stocks, spare parts and full service to commercial, industrial, emergency service and military users.

Quality from start to finish

Clark Masts perform practically ever manufacturing operation itself in-house. Fabrication, casting, precision machining, canvas sewing, plastic and rubber mouldings, anodising and plating, painting and even the packing cases. Every craftsperson is an inspector under a quality manager. Final engineering design testing is done at full size on an outdoor test rig. There are no unproved calculations in a Clark Mast.

Does all this make Clark Masts expensive? Not at all. Prices are surprisingly low (especially for the more commonly used QT Classic Portable Mast Series) for such high quality equipment, a benefit stemming from high volume and efficient production processes. So whether you are in the Technical or Purchasing department of your organization it will pay you to consider Clark Masts next time you have a portable mast requirement, large or small, standard or special.

All commercial and industrial masts shown in the following pages have a standard Yellow RAL 1007, or White 9010 paint finish. Special colours are also available, for example military products are both painted and/or anodised a drab olive or desert sand colours. Commercial and industrial masts can also be finished the same way when required for military applications. Only a limited idea is given here of what is available from Clark's product range of over 200 different mast types.
