"…a very fine example of American engineering and manufacturing."
- Robert Ness, K1RXN

While our towers were originally designed to be mounted on rooftops, they are increasingly being used to mount antennas and other mission-critical equipment on decks, other surfaces, and also on the ground.

In keeping with this wider application range, we are re-naming this product line from roof towers to compact freestanding infrastructure towers… or more simply, Carlson Compact Towers.

Whether installed on roof, deck or ground, these strong, robust compact towers provide a reliable, adaptable equipment mounting solution.

A reliable wireless communications system starts with a solid base – and your roof is a good start!

Putting a multi-use antenna tower on your roof gives your amateur radio and other wireless communication systems several advantages:

  • The height of your roof
  • A built-in buffer zone to enhance clear sky access
  • A safe distance from potential hazards

The effort to securely attach a strong antenna tower to your roof will be greatly rewarded.

You will have a solid, versatile mounting structure to secure all your wireless communications systems for the long term.
