Joe had the right idea, and seems to have done a great job from the pictures on his website. The method used by Joe is what is known as an "above ground attached gravity block". We have used it a few
Trylon angle towers are very hard on gloves and hands. I general recommend normal split leather work gloves for trylon angle towers. Just take them off once you are tied off in position to do small w
Come get it, I have a ton of it down here in corpus. I will give it to you. Just come take it from my storage room. It is all new EHS we used while re-guying a 330' tower here in South Texas. If you
32' Would be the "technically correct answer" However, shorter can be used if some of the following factors are considered. Type of tower, Size of guy cable, Anchor point strength, Amount of tension,
I second the dbi sala exofit, and the exofit xp as well. I have owned two of them, and all of my climbers have them. The only thing I won't do is paint in them. Something about getting paint on a $40
I love these towers. Of all the crap trylon makes, these towers single handedly make up for it all. Just finished building 5 of these things down here on the gulf coast. Rough quote below - Tower Ste
As far as STGs to date, we have built (2) 80 meter (270'), (3) 60 meter (200') towers for some wind farm work as of recent, and (6) 90' stg towers for some Dragonwave PTP microwave work last year. De
The Motorola R56 Standard is the "King Ding-A-Ling" of the industry. Call 1-800-422-4210 to order it. $85 printed or $65 for a CD-ROM. Worth every Penny!!!! Or if you know the right people they may l
Seems there have been several discussions on climbing lately, and since this happens to be a subject that I have more then adequate experience in, I thought I would share with everyone some of the sa
The strength of the section is made up of its parts. If the section fails to provide a 5000lbs anchor point, in no way will any of the welds, legs or lattice, provide it either. I am not stating the
GP-31T GINPOLE KIT http://www.w9iix.com/ii00008.htm Only small gin pole kit I know of for any tower with angle legs. If it works as well as their other gin pole kits, you will be happy. Richard -- Or
Very nice little rig. These things are a life saver in the big tower world. I really like the worm gear drive. My cat head is much faster (60-80 FPM) but is planetary driven, which can cause backslid
Just my 2 cents, take it to heart or with a grain of salt. With rope I would use, Clove hitch, half hitch, clove hitch, half hitch. Never dropped or slipped a mast, feed-line, antenna, or split-pipe

For a short time, Nello manufactured some 45G knockoffs that were swaged. It didn?t last long, since the swaging was poorly done and the sections had to be sucked together using a come along. I had t
Or you can adapt it with a 1/2" Shackle. Honestly, I prefer building Jaw & Jaw whenever possible. Opening and stretching thimbles to make them fit through Eyes is a pain in the ass, and ruins the gal
Wow, really sorry to hear that. Great products, purchased a gin pole and Hd tower jack from him years ago and both are still working great. I can't seem to remember the guys name right now, but he al
The following are some things that could help in the review process. Type of concrete and rebar used. Soil samples. Pictures of the installation. Was the excavation belled into the soil at the lowest
_____ "In Rudy's case the section modulus (b x d x d / 6) of the foundation area is 11x11x11 / 6 = 221 ft cu." I think I am missing something here 11x11x11 ? Secondly, I am not try to argue the fact
