Heavy Duty Base Plate for Telescoping/Push Up Masts - Rugged Ground

In this review the Easy Up EZ 32A Ground Mount is evaluated for users who need a simple, rugged foundation for telescoping and push up masts. The bottom line: this plate is for installers who want a stout, American-made anchor that accepts up to 2.25 in outer diameter mast sections and can be cemented into a pad for permanent installations. Its single biggest selling point is the heavy gauge steel and welded guide pipe that keep compatible masts secure in windy or exposed locations.

Key Features

• Welded guide pipe: The integrated guide pipe accepts masts up to 2.25 in outer diameter so the mast slides in cleanly and stays aligned during raising and lowering.
• 11 gauge steel plate: The 8 in x 8 in, 11 gauge steel base provides a solid footprint that resists bending under load and anchors the mast firmly when set in concrete.
• Set screw retention: A set screw holds the mast securely in place so the installation feels stable without needing additional clamping hardware.
• Concrete-ready pin: The supplied pin allows the plate to be cemented into a concrete pad for permanent mounting and reliable long-term placement.
• Extra sturdy design: The overall build quality is aimed at durability, suitable for repeated use with telescoping masts from multiple brands that fit the size limit.

Who It's For

This ground mount is best for antenna installers, amateur radio operators, and property owners who plan a permanent or semi-permanent mast installation and need a heavy duty mounting point made in the USA. It suits people using telescoping or push up masts from Easy Up, ROHN, and other manufacturers with outer diameters at or below 2.25 in.

Those who should look elsewhere include anyone using a mast larger than 2.25 in outer diameter or users of models explicitly incompatible, such as the Channel Master 1850 40 ft mast. Buyers who need a freestanding, non-cemented base should consider alternative mounts designed for ground stakes or ballast pads.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Sturdy construction and welded guide pipe offer dependable alignment and strength for mast installations.
• 11 gauge steel plate with an 8 in x 8 in footprint provides a compact but strong mounting surface.
• Includes a pin for embedding the plate in concrete, making permanent mounting straightforward.
• Works with a broad range of telescoping push up masts from common manufacturers when within the size limit.

Cons

• Accepts a maximum outer diameter of 2.25 in only, so larger masts are not supported.
• Some users note mixed feelings about guide pipe length depending on installation depth and local conditions.

Our Verdict

The EZ 32A Ground Mount is a practical, no-frills heavy duty base plate for anyone installing telescoping push up masts up to 2.25 in OD.
