FRONTLINE 18 FAN Mortar Rack Frame - Fits 1.91" HDPE DR11 Tubes - (FRAME ONLY) by American Mortar Company

BALANCED FAN COVERAGE. ENGINEERED SPACING. (TUBES NOT INCLUDED)

The FRONTLINE 18 FAN is a professional-grade 18-shot frame designed for pyrotechnicians who want wide, cinematic sky coverage without the bulk or weight of a full-box unit. Now available in a Frame-Only configuration, this is the ideal solution for shooters who have their own tubes and want to create layered, high-impact fan effects.

Built in a precision-angled 3x6 fan formation, this frame delivers clean, symmetrical spreads—perfect for mid-show volleys, sweeps, and professional-grade choreography.

🛡️ THE ENGINEERED ADVANTAGE

In an 18-shot fan, precision is everything. Like all our premium units, the FRONTLINE 18 FAN frame features Engineered Safety Spacing:

• Thermal Isolation: Strategic air gaps between every slot ensure maximum heat management during rapid-fire mid-show sequences.
• Structural Security: Reinforced wide-stance lumber construction is engineered to absorb the lateral recoil of angled launches, remaining rock-solid on the field.
• Precision Angling: Handcrafted to ensure consistent, repeatable trajectories for every shell fired.

🔵 FRAME SPECIFICATIONS & COMPATIBILITY

This commercial-grade frame is built to house professional-standard HDPE tubes.
