Mechanics That Make Sense
ReechCraft PowerMast includes a wide variety of components and accessories that provide added benefits based on what each user needs. The variation of PowerMast accessories and components helps it adapt to any project.
Single Platform
The single-person platform provides ample space for you and your tools. The platform quickly attaches to the climbing unit via the PowerLatch.
Overspeed Brake
The gearbox includes an integrated overspeed brake. This provides safety redundancy by automatically stopping the platform in the event of overspeed.
Climbing Unit
Powered by a 1/2-inch drill, the PowerTrak™ system has a 650-pound (295 kg) load rating and is three times the speed of a pump jack system. Our gearbox eliminates typical electrical components, ensures portability, and features an overspeed brake for added safety.
Quick Attach Poles + Couplers
Updated, streamlined, extruded aluminum poles are easy to haul and install. The tools-free coupler allows for quick assembly. The pole’s contoured profile assists with grip, both during assembly and when tilting the system into place.
Frequently Asked Questions
The lifting capacity for each PowerMast climbing unit is 750 lbs per single mast or 1,500 lbs per twin system.
The maximum height of the PowerMast is 200 ft.
PowerMast is designed to accept most modular platforms and walkboards that are commonly in use.
Because we utilize less costly and easily replaceable drill motors for power, each climbing unit must be operated independently. However, since there are generally at least two workers on a twin system who can operate both ends at the same time, synchronization is rarely an issue.
When the combined weight of the platform, people, and materials weighs 1,500 lbs or less, the maximum space can be as wide as the plank in use.
An experienced person can assemble a 100 ft single mast system in one to two hours.
The PowerMast is equipped with a gearbox and is powered by a corded drill.
Cordless drills are recommended for emergency descent only.
We recommend 8-9 amp, corded, 0.5 in. drills with a keyed chuck and an RPM of 2500-3500. These higher amperage drills are typically hammer drills, which are readily available at local hardware stores. However, do not use the hammer mode when when drilling on a PowerMast, as it may cause premature wear to the system.
No. Each climbing unit must be operated independently.
Each climbing unit is equipped with a lock lever and overspeed brake.
We have training materials and support available: just call 888-600-6160.
The PowerMast is equipped with an overspeed brake, which stops descent in case of system overspeed. In addition, PowerMast has a lock lever, which is a safety mechanism that stops the downward travel of the system when released.
The life of the gearbox depends on usage and maintenance. With proper upkeep, we’ve seen gearboxes last longer than 10 years without any significant maintenance. All components like bearings and gears are easy to replace as needed, allowing the gearbox to be used for the life of the product.
No. Each gearbox is equipped with an overload clutch, designed to clutch out in overload situations. The PowerMast will not move if loaded beyond the capability of the system.
