What Is a Prefabricated Range Tower?

A range tower is an elevated, enclosed structure that gives personnel a clear view over large outdoor spaces. Prefabricated steel towers are used for fire lookout tower operations, air traffic controller towers, lifeguard towers, and military range observation.

Features include:

  • Modular steel construction
  • Enclosed climate-controlled booths
  • Interior stairs, platforms, or ladders

Custom Tower Heights and Enclosures for Any Terrain

Range towers are fully customizable, including cab size, deck height, exterior finish, and visibility options. Whether you're building an air traffic control tower or a firewatch tower, prefabricated platforms offer quick installation with long-term durability.

Features include:

  • Optional blast-resistant or ballistic materials
  • 360-degree viewing with tinted or laminated windows
  • Built to meet wind and seismic codes
