Temporary Towers, Permanent Results

When a tower goes down or a planned relocation requires uninterrupted service, Vertical Mobility deploys our in-house temporary cell towers to keep communities connected.

Our direct embedment monopole towers are designed and fabricated in-house by VMC specifically for rapid deployment. We roll in with our own derrick digger truck, drill the hole, and use our crane to stack the tower sections. From arrival to a fully operational tower — 4 to 5 hours.

Every piece of equipment is owned and operated by Vertical Mobility. No waiting on third-party vendors, no delays, no excuses.

How We Deploy

A fully self-contained operation from arrival to signal live.

🚧

1. Drill

Our derrick digger truck arrives on site and drills the direct embedment hole for the temporary monopole foundation.

🏗

2. Stack

Our mobile crane stacks the tower sections into place — multi-section steel pipe monopole built to engineered specifications.

📡

3. Connect

Antennas, radios, and cabling are installed. Lightweight shelters and generators are set up at the base. Tower goes live.

What We Bring

Every deployment rolls from VMC's Villa Ridge headquarters fully self-contained. No third-party vendors, no waiting, no coordination gaps.

  • Mobile cranes — 50-ton, 60-ton, and 120-ton capacity
  • Derrick digger truck for direct embedment drilling
  • 125-foot manlift for antenna work at height
  • 80-foot expandable pole trailer with rear steer for tower section and pole transport
  • Day cab and sleeper tractor trailers for local and long-haul mobilization
  • Two Cellxion shelters with full HVAC, deployment-ready
  • In-house deployable generators
  • VMC-designed and fabricated temporary cell tower sections, stocked in our 20,000 sq ft warehouse
  • Full complement of telecom test equipment

Engineered for Rapid Deployment

Our temporary towers are 85 to 100-foot AGL multi-section steel pipe monopoles with bolted flange connections, engineered for the loads required by modern cellular equipment.

Standard deployments use direct embedment for the fastest possible installation. For taller structures or sites requiring additional stability, we have the ability to pour a temporary caisson foundation on site — and remove it completely once the project is finished.

We also deploy lightweight shelters and generators with refueling capability to support extended deployments and keep sites running as long as needed.

  • 85' or 100' AGL, multi-section bolt-together steel pipe
  • Direct embedment or temporary caisson foundation
  • Antenna mounting at top for full sector coverage
  • Two VMC-owned Cellxion shelters with full HVAC and in-house deployable generators included
  • Generator refueling for extended deployments
  • Full foundation removal upon project completion

Full Antenna Integration

Our temp towers aren't just poles in the ground — they're fully equipped cell sites. We install complete antenna arrays with radios, RRUs, and all supporting cabling.

Whether it's a single-sector emergency setup or a full three-sector deployment, we configure the site to match the carrier's requirements and get service restored fast.

When You Need Us

Emergency or planned — we deploy for any situation that demands fast, reliable temporary coverage.

Disaster Recovery

When storms, tornadoes, or other disasters take out existing towers, we deploy temporary sites to restore critical communications for first responders and communities.

🔄

Planned Relocations

Tower modifications, rebuilds, or site relocations that require uninterrupted service. We deploy a temp tower to maintain coverage while the permanent site is being worked on.

🏗

New Build Support

Provide temporary coverage while a new permanent tower is under construction. Keep subscribers connected from day one without waiting for the full build to complete.

📷

Events & Temporary Needs

Large-scale events, construction projects, or any situation requiring temporary cellular coverage in areas without existing infrastructure.

Emergency Utility Pole Sets

When a utility pole goes down from storm damage, vehicle strikes, or equipment failure, VMC has the equipment and experience to set replacement wood or steel utility poles for emergency and temporary service restoration. Our derrick digger and cranes handle the full scope — hole drilling, pole setting, and stabilization — for utilities, co-ops, and municipalities that need service restored fast.
