Telecom Towers multi-sided and lattice, up to 70 m
We design and manufacture steel load-bearing structures based on bent multi-sided shafts: antenna poles, towers and masts for cellular base station equipment (what people usually call cell towers). A multi-sided tower on a single foundation is also called a monopole. Installation is carried out by a licensed construction partner company.
A telecom tower (colloquially a mobile-phone mast) is a tall steel structure carrying the antennas and equipment of cellular base stations. Towers are either multi-sided, made of bent shafts, or lattice.

Telecom towers: technical specifications
Tower equipment
Towers can be designed up to 70 m high. The standard set includes:
- an equipment platform
- rest platforms every 10 m with a lockable hatch
- a ladder with a guard for servicing and an anti-vandal hatch at the start of the ladder
We make the ladders ourselves. Ladders and fall-protection systems (with the sliding fall-arrest device) are supplied with the tower when the design calls for them; we agree with the customer whether a ladder is needed when the order is placed: Fall protection systems and ladders on poles and masts.
Installation
The tower can be erected in large sections built up vertically, or raised whole from a horizontal position — in mountainous terrain, in densely populated areas, on industrial sites with dense buildings and at existing sports facilities.
Why bent multi-sided shafts
Bent multi-sided shafts were first used for power line poles and later also for telecom towers.
Foundations
The structure is fixed to a foundation through a flange with an embedded part or set in the ground; the foundation type depends on the soil and the loads. More in the article Foundations for masts, towers and power line poles.
What determines the price of a telecom tower
We calculate the price for a specific tower. It depends on:
- tower height (up to 70 m) and type of structure;
- number, weight and area of antennas, number of operators;
- wind region and location;
- platforms, ladders, lighting and lightning protection;
- foundation, coating, installation (its cost is calculated separately each time; installation is carried out by a licensed construction partner company).
How to order a telecom tower
- Send the technical specification form for a telecom tower (at the bottom of the page) or the initial data: height, list of antennas, location.
- We propose a design and agree the loads.
- We calculate the price and lead time and manufacture; if needed, installation is carried out by a licensed construction partner company.
What a cell tower is and what types there are
A cell tower, or telecom tower, is a tall steel structure that holds the antennas of a mobile base station at the height they need; the operator puts the equipment in a cabinet or shelter at the foot of the tower or on its equipment platform. The tower is calculated for the loads from antennas, wind and ice, and the sway of its top must stay within what the radio equipment tolerates.
By structure, cell towers come in three types. A multi-sided tower (monopole) is a single bent shaft made of sections on one foundation: it takes up little ground, so it suits a tight plot and built-up areas. A lattice tower (antenna mast) is a three-dimensional framework of legs and bracing on a wide base; our range is on the page Antenna Masts. A guyed mast is a slim shaft that needs free ground around it. On a tight plot with a tower up to 40 m, start with a multi-sided one; for taller towers and many antennas, compare it with a lattice tower. How the types differ is explained in Telecom Tower Types: Multi-sided, Lattice, Guyed Masts.
How tall is a mobile network tower and what decides it
The height is set not by the coverage radius but by the antenna centre heights from the operator’s radio planning. Above the top antenna the design leaves room for a lightning rod and obstruction lights. A selection usually starts from our standard ranges:
- up to 25 m: a 25 m multi-sided tower, combined 3G towers of 8 and 12 m;
- 27–45 m: a combined 3G tower of 27 m, multi-sided towers of 30, 35 and 40 m, lattice antenna masts from AO-29 to AO-42.5;
- 50–70 m: an individual multi-sided tower design, or a lattice antenna mast from the AO series.
These are guide figures; other heights are made to the technical specification, and the calculation sets the final height, sections and foundation. What height depends on (coverage zone, terrain, obstacles, number of operators) is covered in Height of a Telecom Mast or Tower: How to Determine It and Choose the Structure.
What goes into the design of a telecom tower
A tower is designed for a specific plot and its equipment. The main loads are wind (which depends on the wind region and the height), ice, and the self-weight of the structure and equipment. The design needs the number of antennas and the weight, area and mounting height of each, because these set the base moment and the sway of the top. Wind pressure W0 for regional centres is in the article Wind Regions of Ukraine.
Besides the loads, the design fixes a reserve for the next operator (a spare level and a load-bearing margin), the soils and foundation type (a geotechnical survey is needed; see the Foundations section and the article Design of Telecom Towers and Antenna Masts), the plot size, seismicity, marking and approvals under current aviation regulations, and the crane access that decides the installation method.
Articles about telecom towers
Design of Telecom Towers and Antenna Masts
Polygonal antenna poles, towers and masts for cellular communications, together with their foundations, are designed for the specific conditions. Here is what source data is needed, what features the structure has and what foundations are used.
Height of a Telecom Mast or Tower: How to Determine It and Choose the Structure
Telecom tower height follows from several inputs: radio planning, terrain, antenna count and loads. We show how it is determined and which structure suits which height.
Rooftop antenna poles: structure and fixing to the roof
An antenna pole goes on a roof when height is needed and there is no room for a tower on the ground. But a roof is not a foundation: the roof was designed for snow, equipment and people, not for the bending moment from wind on antennas. Below we go through what such a pole consists of, what it passes into the building, how it is fixed to the roof and what the building designer has to check. This is an overview without calculations: the parameters of a particular pole and its fixing are set by the design.
Telecom Tower Types: Multi-sided, Lattice, Guyed Masts
Cellular and radio antennas are mounted on multi-sided towers, lattice towers and masts (all of them are what people call cell towers). We compare them to help you choose a type for your site and equipment.
What Is a Mast: How It Differs from a Pole and a Tower, and the Main Types
A mast is a tall, slim vertical column that lifts floodlights, antennas, a flag or a lightning rod above the ground. Here is how a mast differs from a pole and a tower, which types there are and what shapes the design.
Cell Tower Explained: What It Is, How It’s Built, Typical Heights
A cell tower is a steel tower or mast that carries the antennas of a base station. Here is how it is built, which designs and heights exist, what it stands on and how it is made.
Fall protection systems and ladders on poles and masts: what the design must provide
On a pole or mast the ladder and the fall protection system solve different problems: the first gives a way up, the second stops a fall if someone slips. Below we cover which means of access exist, what the design must provide on the shaft and platforms, how to fix a rail or cable to a thin wall, what galvanizing changes and which mistakes are most common. The figures from system instructions are given as examples, not as a standard: the design is governed by the documents of the chosen system and the standards in force.
PVR and technological card for erecting masts and poles: what they contain and what to hand to the erector
Before a mast or pole is erected there must be a work execution project (PVR, in Ukrainian «проєкт виконання робіт») and technological cards, and the two are often confused. Below we cover how they differ, what a PVR consists of under the current standard, what a card for assembly and lifting spells out, which data the fabricator of the structures supplies for them and where mistakes are most common. Erection is done by a licensed partner construction company, so what follows is what to agree with us before fabrication.

Telecom towers: frequently asked questions
What do I need to send for a price calculation?
A technical specification: height, number and weight of antennas, wind region, terrain type and location. Guide prices (incl. VAT, as of September 2026): multi-sided towers from UAH 130,000 per tonne, combined towers with lighting and video from UAH 140,000 per tonne (Multi-sided Poles: Technology, Applications, Price).
How much does a telecom tower cost?
The price depends on height, antenna loads, wind region, equipment and installation (its cost is calculated separately each time; installation is carried out by a licensed construction partner company). Send the initial data or the technical specification form and we will calculate the price and lead time.
Who installs cell towers?
A licensed construction partner company installs them anywhere in the country, while we design and manufacture the tower. The installation methods are described in the Installation section above. The foundation with the anchor cage must be ready before the installers arrive: completed, aligned and having gained its strength (the procedure is in Assembly, Erection and Installation of Multi-sided Poles, Masts and Towers).
Can another operator’s antennas be added to the tower later?
Yes, if the design has the margin: new antennas add weight, windward area and base moment, so the shaft, joints and foundation are checked first. Mention a second operator at the start so that a spare level and a reserve go into the original design.
