Don't forget there are ROHN 45s and there are ROHN 45s, then there are 55s
and there are 55s. IE, not all 45s or 55s are created equal. Both are, or
at least were available in hollow and solid leg forms with a fair difference
in ratings.
Look at the difference in seight per section.
What do you mean by side rails? Legs? If you mean legs, then even a 1/16" of an inch makes a substantial difference. could safely be loaded more heavily if the guy wires were upgraded (e.g., to the Rohn 55 design or by using TA45 "star" guy brackets and double guys at each level)? I also know that many users have significantly overloaded towers when compared to Rohn's catalog designs and gotten away with it. I don't think any of us are going to agree if it's not in the book.
Again, what is the difference in weight? The 55 is supposedly stronger by a good margin.
