Abstract: A collapsible equipment tower is operable between an extended configuration and a contracted configuration. The equipment tower has a base, having a base frame and supporting a solar panel, and a pivot support, having a distal end for supporting equipment and a proximal end. The pivot support is pivotally connected to the base frame at a pivot joint at the proximal end and is pivotable between a substantially upright position in the extended configuration and a transverse position in the contracted configuration. A retractable locking member is provided at the proximal end of the pivot support adjacent to the pivot joint. The locking member is adapted to be extended from the proximal end and secured to the base frame in the extended configuration and to be retracted in the contracted configuration.

Abstract: An equipment tower includes a base having a base support, a pivot support pivotally connected to the base support at a fulcrum point and equipment mounted on the pivot support. A detachable winch is releasably securable to the equipment tower, the winch having a cable that is attachable to the pivot support. The equipment tower is operable by pivoting movement of the pivot support between a maintenance configuration, in which the equipment is lowered, and the erected configuration, in which the equipment is elevated. When the winch is secured to the base and the cable is attached to the pivot support, operation of the winch controls the pivoting movement of the pivot support.
