Ok, Another question: so I have this 60 long section of R55 with a rotating ring at the 48 point which will have guys hanging down from it ... the weight is probably around 850#. The tower is laying
The crane guy will know how, and usually pick up at the 60% point. In your case, 40 feet, and a choker around the whole tower. Sent from my iPhone Ok, Another question: so I have this 60 long section

As you lift the tower, it was a lot easier for us having three men to hold the guy wires away from the tower as it was lifted. Have you given any thought to how you're going to move the bottom of tow
A good catch re managing the bottom end of the 60' tower assembly being hoisted. I used a fork lift and sling at the bottom. A good crane op can swing the boom to minimize the drag and load. Also, ri
well actually I hadnt thought too much about that! I thought wed be able to lift it to the crane once it was up high enough. If we have 4 guys on it Id guess the weight at the end is going to be arou
I hope not! I had planned on lifting it from the top. No reason to do it from the side as it is when in place 135' and the crane is supposedly capable of 200' ... right? --Original Message-- From: R
That's what I figured! Didn't use the term - didn't remember it at the time but choker slings... wrap them so they 'grab' the legs equally and thus it should be vertical. The hook will freely swivel
For chokers from single loop slings, you are making a noose on the leg below the rung, and long enough slings so the tension is ok in them and not too much compression force on the legs. 8' slings? N
