Tubular communication towers use circular steel tubes as their main structure and can be built as self-supporting or guyed towers. They are commonly used for mobile communication, broadcasting, and microwave connections in real projects. Compared with lattice towers, the smooth tubular surface reduces wind drag, which helps the structure perform better in strong wind conditions. Their compact design also makes tubular telecom towers suitable for urban areas, rooftops, highways, and sites with limited space. Hot-dip galvanizing is applied to protect the steel from corrosion for long-term outdoor use.

FAQs
Which type of communication tower is suitable for suburban or rural base stations?
Which type of communication tower is suitable for suburban or rural base stations?
For suburban and rural areas, 3-legged angular steel towers are usually the best choice. They are suitable for medium to low heights, have controlled costs, and meet the performance needs of these locations without overcomplicating the structure.
What should be considered when using communication towers in mountainous or hilly areas?
What should be considered when using communication towers in mountainous or hilly areas?
When installing towers in mountainous or hilly areas, it’s best to choose locations with stable ground and lighter wind conditions. A modular design makes transport and installation much easier in hard-to-reach areas, and the lattice structure helps the tower stand up better to strong winds and reduces the risk of tipping.
How is signal stability maintained under harsh weather conditions?
How is signal stability maintained under harsh weather conditions?
Both angular steel towers and tubular steel towers use lattice-type structures with flange or bolted connections, and all their main components are treated with hot-dip galvanizing. The lattice structure with bolted or flanged connections gives both angular steel towers and tubular steel towers the rigidity needed to withstand strong winds, allowing them to operate normally even under extreme weather conditions.
Can 3-legged or 4-legged tubular towers be used in urban areas?
Can 3-legged or 4-legged tubular towers be used in urban areas?
Yes. These tubular communication towers can be installed in industrial parks, factory zones, or areas with lower landscape requirements. In addition, 4-legged tubular steel towers can support equipment from multiple operators at the same time, which is suitable for high-density base station areas and helps improve communication efficiency.
How do corrosion resistance and weather durability affect tower performance?
How do corrosion resistance and weather durability affect tower performance?
The combination of hot-dip galvanizing and additional surface coating provides strong protection against corrosion and weather exposure. This allows the tower to operate reliably for long periods in high-temperature, low-temperature, coastal, and high-humidity environments, while also reducing maintenance frequency and overall maintenance costs.
How are tubular communication towers used for temporary events or emergency scenarios?
How are tubular communication towers used for temporary events or emergency scenarios?
Due to their modular design, the tubular communication towers can be assembled and dismantled quickly. This makes them ideal for construction sites, temporary events, and emergency communication situations, where fast signal coverage is needed and both time and installation costs must be kept under control.
