The Sun West Cell On Wheels (COW) is a portable telescoping tower/mast and/or cell site mounted on a trailer that can easily be deployed for special events, network restoration or disaster recovery efforts. We have designed them to provide an industry standard platform to accommodate customer equipment such as generators and equipment cabinets.
Standard features include: A hot-dipped galvanized DOT approved trailer manufactured by Sun West Engineering, Inc., LED Lighting, vertically adjustable hitch, low height easy boarding trailer deck, universal steel grated decking to easily accommodate mounting of all equipment requirements, crow’s nest mast support and working platform per OSHA standards, outriggers, storage cabinets/boxes, and a variety of different telescoping masts. Our COWS are also available with our patented scissor lift and our patented fold over antenna mounting system.
Our COWS are configurable with many options to accommodate project requirements. Please refer to the below designs and full specifications. Please consult with us for any special configuration options you may require.
The Mini-COW – Cell On Wheels trailers are designed to provide an industry standard platform to accommodate a multitude of different sized masts, customer equipment and smaller generators. Their smaller footprint makes them ideal for adding capacity at special events, or quick deployments when needed for disaster recovery.
The scissor lift COW was born from the desire to speed the deployment of MatSing and other large multi-beam antennas, while eliminating the costs associated with crane rentals and man-lifts for these deployments. For example, it can take a crew hours to have a crane mount the 500-lb MatSing 12.6 antenna and install upwards of 36 lines of coax on a mast or tower.
This COW is specially designed to have a maximum travel height of just 7 feet! With this low travel height it can be pulled through nearly any parking garage and set up on the roof in just minutes. The rotating 25’ mast is easily spun into the vertical position and locked down for deployment. The retractable trailer tongue is slid into its stowed position, and the unit only takes up one parking space. Fire up the on-board 10kW generator with 45 gallon fuel tank and this COW can graze for nearly 2 full days!
As the leading supplier of deployable solutions to FirstNet, Sun West Engineering can provide the same solution to your organization, or they can be modified to suit your own unique requirements. This design offers a robust & reliable solution which is easily and quickly deployed with minimal loose component requirements. Antennas are permanently attached and accommodate special permanently attached TCOM® coax cable. Let us know what your specific requirements are and we can customize a solution for you.
The COP Cell On Platform is specifically designed to be transportable or fixed depending on customer requirements. COPS are lightweight, portable and can accommodate customer equipment and/or equipment cabinets. These cabinets offer lightweight modular designs providing for on-site assembly in access restricted areas like; roof tops, parking garages, and under power line towers.
Our Custom Solution Cabinets continue to be an industry proven product designed specifically to accommodate challenging requirements in permanent wireless applications. Each configuration is designed to withstand wind driven rain, vibration, drop, thermal and seismic zone 4 standards. Each cabinet is constructed per NEMA 4/3R Standards for outdoor use (National Electrical Manufacturers Association)
These cabinets are configurable with many options to accommodate project requirements. We have designed literally hundreds and hundreds of different configurations. Therefore it’s impossible to show all the different configurations that might be available. The configuration sample drawing below is just that, a sampling of many different configurations available. Please consult us directly for your custom configuration options.
