Will-Burt Germany provides high-quality mobile mast systems and trailer solutions for military and security / rescue forces. They are used around the world: the armed forces of Germany, its NATO allies and other likeminded nations. Will-Burt Germany has progressively turned into a global player with subsidiaries and partners on every continent.

The object of Will-Burt Germany is the development, project planning, construction and system integration of our customized trailer systems. We carry out and follow your plan from A to Z. Special trailers for special tasks are our specialty. Many of our trailers are manufactured in small series. They are used by the German Army and other international forces. Our trailer systems are especially designed for missions involving extraordinary burdens in extreme and arduous terrain. High payloads in combination with low basic weights, maximum cross-country mobility, long life expectancy and low maintenance requirements are the characteristics of all Will-Burt Germany tactical trailers.

Our mast systems are used by international forces around the globe, including the German Army, to provide communications, surveillance, reconnaissance support etc. throughout the battlefield.

The Expedition series (Ranger mast) is the lightest, most durable, rapid deploying, single man-portable field masts in the world. This system is equipped with lightweight payloads and can be deployed quickly by extending 1.2m sections to heights from 2.5m to a maximum of 18.3m. It’s our system for the ‘last mile’.

The AntennaMast AM2 model is a portable, lightweight, rugged, aluminum tripod mast designed for rapid payload deployment. The AM2 can raise multiple devices on an individual mast and is highly flexible and reliable. Users can lift and lower larger payloads in a secure way without disassembling the mast system by using the EZ Raze™ system and its safety brake and cable winching device. The mast tube lift winch supplies mechanical assistance for mast tube lifting for heavier payloads, and the mast tubes and payload can also be elevated by breach loading the tubes through the tripod center collar.

Telescopic crank masts KVL and KVR (also called cable pulls) are for payloads up to 70kg and heights up to 20m. They are suited for heavy communication systems, monitoring solutions, direction finder, target detection systems, etc. and used by the market leaders. These masts uphold their reputation through their robustness and simple operation. The extension and retraction of this mast type is realized through a retractable rope and a separate return rope. This guarantees a reliable operation independent of the weather conditions.

The Spindle mast SPM is currently the best available mast system on the market. Grown against the hardest requirements, the SPM is specifically designed for use with large payloads and very high demands of accuracy. The retracting and extension occur through special spindle systems. A special honing procedure of the aluminum tubes and the use of high-precision spindles enables the manufacturing of nearly backlash-free telescopic spindle masts for heights up to 18m and payloads up to 600kg!

The spectrum of lattice towers starts with the ITS Towers. ITS offers an innovative line of commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) tower solutions from 11.5m to 32m. Will-Burt Germany lattice towers are customized solutions, mounted on trucks or trailers, for heights up to 45m and payloads up to 1000kg. Our giants!

The Will-Burt Company is pleased to introduce the One Company initiative, a program designed to ensure that we operate as One Team, guided by One Vision, representing One Brand – Will-Burt. This initiative formalizes our way of thinking and our passion to serve our customers. It was created to make it easier for our clients to engage with Will-Burt, no matter where they are or whomever they communicate with in our global organization. All locations have been renamed Will-Burt followed by their geographic location. For instance, GEROH, located in Germany, has been renamed Will-Burt Germany Gmbh & Co. KG. Company web sites will be consolidated under www.willburt.com and the GEROH social media platforms will be renamed Will-Burt Germany.

Comrod Communications Group design and manufacture military antennas and antenna systems, tactical support masts, military power supplies and battery chargers to the defence communications market.

Military Vehicle Antennas

The Comrod range of military vehicle antennas are designed for use on modern in-service platforms including armoured or soft skin, metal chassis or composite, wheeled or tracked.

Tactical antennas cover the military frequency bands of HF, VHF, UHF and L1/L2 GPS.  Comrod also has an extensive range of wideband and multiband antennas covering both VHF and UHF in the 30-2500 MHz band. 

High power antennas are available which are suitable for both military communications and IED jamming applications.

Military Manpack Antennas

The Comrod range of tactical manpack antennas are suitable for handheld and man-portable applications covering HF, VHF and UHF frequency bands (1.6MHz to 2500MHz).

Consultation with Radio OEMs and users enables us to optimise the product to meet the customer’s specific requirement.

Manpack antennas can be supplied using helical, tape or folding whip construction and are available with a flexible gooseneck or spring assembly and antenna matching unit (AMU). 

Variants are also available with integrated GPS antennas.

Tactical Base Station Antennas

Comrod has an extensive range of tactical ground and remote antennas covering the HF, VHF and UHF frequency bands up to power ratings of 1KW.

The military specification HF ranges of products include omni-directional antennas with ground planes and HF broadband wire dipole antennas covering 2-30MHz.

In the VHF band we have elevated omni-directional end fed antennas with ground planes as well as elevated centre fed antennas.

For directional point to point and line of sight communications we have log periodic antennas in the 30-88MHz and 30-512MHz bands and for wide area networks we have a radio relay antennas covering band 1, band 3+ and band IV frequencies in both grid and dish configurations.

All tactical base station antenna products can be supplied with adaptors to fit the Comrod series of military support masts.

Telescopic, Sectional and Sleeve Masts

Comrod has a complete range of tactical support masts from lightweight manpack up to heavy duty motorised versions. The tactical man-pack mast range is simple to erect, cost effective and ideally suited for light omni-directional and wire antennas up to 9metres in height. The ULM and MLV sleeve tripod masts are primarily ground mounted systems ideally suited for heavier head loads, elevating tactical base station antennas including line of sight antennas up to 40metres. 

The composite telescopic push up mast series can be used to elevate light head loads up to 12 metres and be ground or vehicle mounted. The pneumatic telescopic mast series is constructed of aluminium sections and is erected using a foot-pump or compressor. It is ideally suited to supporting our tactical base station antennas up to heights of 18 metres.

The winch driven composite telescopic mast series is suited to supporting heavier head loads up to heights of 34 metres.
This series can be ground mounted or vehicle mounted using vehicle specific brackets.

Military Power Supplies and
Battery Chargers

The Comrod range of power supplies and battery charging products have been designed and manufactured using state of the art technology and fully meet Mil Std/EMC/TREE requirements.
