one source you might check out is Heights Tower Systems:
9505 Groh Road Bld 70 E
Grosse Ile MI 48138
phone 313-692-6711 fax 313-692-6727
My tower is a crank-up/foldover. I purchased a motorized screw winch
which folds the tower to the ground without the handcranking, it is very
nice and fast. They also have motorized systems for cranking the tower
up. I don't know what the cost of the motorized raising system would
be. The crank over winch system's cost was about 650 dollars; they also
have a heavy duty 4ft platform, with heavy duty folding plates for this
fixture which is another 900 dollars but very efficent and nice.
