Slip-Type & Flange-Type Monopoles

Monopoles are multi-sided, tapered monopoles which come in varying heights, from 10M and can go up to 60M in height. Monopoles are more aesthetically pleasing than the traditional lattice-type towers and can be used in a “Green-Field” or “Roof-top” environments as per the site or customer preferences.

Where aesthetics is a primary concern, monopoles with slip-type joints are preferred. In case of space constraints, a flange-type monopole is used. Both these types of monopoles are based on the customer requirement.
