Key features

What the GMR mast series is for

A mast is the part nobody thinks about until the light sits too low to be seen from the fairway. The GMR series is made to put the mark at the right height and keep it there.

Eight heights

Masts of 2, 3, 6, 8, 9, 12, 14 and 15 metres, so the mark stands where the sightline needs it rather than where the catalogue allows.

Two mast tops

A standard top plate, or a lantern compatible top that takes a marine lantern directly without an adapter.

Hot-dip galvanised

The steel is galvanised after fabrication, and an extra heavy galvanising is available where the exposure asks for it.

Carries the whole mark

Lanterns, daymarks, racons, solar panels and monitoring enclosures mount on the mast and on its top plate.

Where it is used

A mast on a quay, a breakwater or a shore mark

Where a lattice mast earns its place, and what to settle before ordering one.

A lattice mast is used where a mark has to be seen from a distance and stay in one position for decades: the head of a breakwater, the edge of a quay, a leading line read together with a second mark, or a rock on the shore. The open lattice takes wind loading without the section a solid post would need, and the bolted base plate lets the mast be set on a concrete foundation and taken down again for service.

  1. Decide the height from the sightline and the rules that apply to the mark

  2. Choose the mast top: a standard plate, or the lantern compatible top where a lantern goes straight on

  3. Choose the surface treatment for the exposure at the site

  4. Bolt the base plate to the foundation and mount the equipment

Ordering

Prices and ordering are in the customer portal

The GMR masts are ordered from the Vikingegaarden customer portal, where the height, the mast top and the surface treatment are chosen on the product itself and the price follows the agreement on your account. If you do not have an account yet, the sales desk sets one up.

Good to know

Frequently asked questions about lattice masts

Which height should I choose?

The height follows the sightline from the fairway and the rules that apply to the mark. The eight standard heights run from 2 to 15 metres. Tell us where the mast goes and what it carries, and we work it out with you.

What is the difference between the two mast tops?

The standard top is a plain plate for mounting equipment. The lantern compatible top is made so that a marine lantern sits directly on the mast without an adapter.

When is extra heavy galvanising worth it?

Where the mast stands in spray, in an industrial atmosphere, or where reaching it for maintenance is difficult. The standard hot-dip galvanising covers ordinary coastal exposure.

Can I order a mast without a portal account?

Yes. Write to the sales desk and we handle the order and set up the account at the same time.
