Overview

Trailer power. No tow required.

The Tower Skid carries the same surveillance power system as our trailers on a heavy-duty skid base, for locations where you need mobility without towing equipment.

Set it with a forklift, raise the mast with the manual winch, and leave it for the season. When the job moves, so does the skid.

Heavy-duty skid base, forklift movable
Extended deployments with occasional moves
Weatherproof enclosure for cameras, wireless gear and power

Built for the long stay.

Job sites, storage yards, industrial plants and remote operations: anywhere permanent mounting is not ideal but the watch point stays put for months.

Why a tower skid

Mobility without a hitch.

Forklift movable

Heavy-duty skid base lets you reposition with a forklift. No towing vehicle, no trailer registration.

Semi-permanent setup

Made for job sites, storage yards and locations that need extended deployment with occasional moves.

21-ft telescopic mast

Manual winch for easy raising and lowering, with excellent camera elevation and coverage.

750 W to 2,250 W solar

Monocrystalline array with a 2 to 6 battery bank, sized to your power needs and region.

Weatherproof storage

Secure internal enclosure protects cameras, wireless gear and power components from the elements.

AC charging port

Backup charging option for staging or generator power.

Where it works

One skid, four kinds of site.

Construction: move between zones as work progresses without towing equipment. Storage yards: reposition coverage as layouts change through the year.

Industrial facilities: manufacturing plants, refineries and warehouses where permanent mounting is not ideal. Remote locations: mines, oil fields and agricultural sites without grid power or easy vehicle access.

Rated for 75 mph winds when properly deployed
Remote monitoring and remote power cycling
2 to 4 week lead time, factory direct

Sharpvue cameras

Cameras on, ready to watch.

Order the Tower Skid with Sharpvue cameras mounted, wired and labeled at the head end, and Sharpvue OS running the platform. Set the skid, raise the mast and the site is covered.

Long stays suit the Panoramic 180° for wide, always-on coverage, with a PTZ Speed Dome 25X to zoom in on what matters.

Questions

Good to know.

How is the tower skid moved?

With a forklift. The heavy-duty skid base has no wheels or tongue, so it needs no tow vehicle and no trailer registration.

How long does it take to build?

Typical lead time is 2 to 4 weeks, sold factory direct.

Does it come with cameras?

It can. Add Sharpvue cameras and Sharpvue OS in the configurator and the skid ships with them mounted, wired and labeled. Like every Vorp Energy platform it also powers the cameras and wireless equipment you already own.
