Frangible Meteorology
Fabricated from Aluminum, Millard towers are well-suited for meteorology applications. Made from the same alloy as most meteorological equipment, towers are built to withstand extreme environmental conditions without compromising performance. Towers come in a variety of standard heights and designs to meet specific application requirements:
| Application | Height | Servicing Options |
| RVR | 2.50m | Tilt Base |
| AWOS | 3.00m | Tilt Base |
| AWOS | 6.00m | Tilt Base, Elevated Hinge |
| AWOS | 10.00m | Tilt Base, Elevated Hinge |
Custom heights and designs are available.
A lightweight, yet durable design provides the perfect mounting for meteorological equipment ensuring reliable data collection. Lowering options provide simple and safe solutions for installation and servicing. Tower sections nest within each other enabling efficient packaging and shipping for any mode of transport. In addition to the frangible tower, a line of engineered accessories provide an aesthetically pleasing, complete, and fully compliant system ideal for drop-shipments.
