Sparcraft Mast Specifications & Components |
|
|
|
Sparcraft has produced an incredible variety of Mast Sections.
Through its acquisition of FranceSpar, Isomat and others, well over 60 different Mast Sections have
been produced under the Sparcraft label. In addition to different origins and evolution,
Section Designation is further complicated by the occasional factory renumbering of identical Sections.
Masts using these Sections have been produced under several different labels including
FranceSpar, Isomat,
Sparcraft and
Charleston Spar.
