I lost my tower and antennas a few weeks ago in a storm and I am now considering a UST crank up. I received a decent price on the TX-472, with shipping from their Kansas plant a big break in costs. H

Tom, The M2 Orion 2800 wiil fit inside the TX-472. Just be sure to order it with the round top plate instead of the standard 6 inch oval. I would also recommend you get the motor drive winch on the t

The LM-470 has a real nice tilt-over device which make working on your antenna much easier and probably the best recommendation for you. See it here... http://tashtowers.com/pdf/tiltover.pdf You coul

Makes sense that a large rotator will not fit in that tower. It's only rated for 10.3 sq ft at 70 mph. The antennas you listed will be much more than that. I have the same antennas (4 el SteppIR + XM

Hi, All: Some friends and I will remove a TX-472 this weekend and have two questions: 1. What size are the heads of the bolts and nuts used on the base plate? 2. Will the TRX-80 raising fixture work

Hi all. I'm currently in the planning stages for putting up a US Tower TX-472 Crank-Up 72 foot tower this spring. Although I would like the motorized crank-up, it adds about $1500 to the total cost o

John, I have gone the crank-up route and much prefer the positive motor drive version. It only takes a view up and down manual operations to convince some that it is folly. While you are at it, consi

You can always order the tower with the manual winch (K2550) and replace the crank handle with a cog, chain, another cog, and a geared motor down the road. This is what one of my buddies uses and it
