Well thank you all for the past information and finally verifying the proper
cable wrapping of my more vintage 90' model... vs. the later models ... now
however im needing or wanting to restring/ replace the 3 lifting cables, the
main one and the 2 shorter ones that pull up and or down the sections 4 and 6
and as we know the main lift cable working from section 10 lifts up section 8..
I'd like to find out the exact cable lengths if any of you know these and
then I will either buy them from a supplier or else have them fabricated here
locally by a wire rope shop .. but im wanting to try and have the cables on
hand so that I can perform this exchange while I have the crane here one time,
rather than one time to lift out sections 4 and 6 to retrieve those cables then
section 8 so I can restring it as well, the intent is to save one extra crane
trip and it's associated costing if I can , but I feel like it would be the
prudent thing to do before I place this tower into long
term expected service ... all help will be greatly welcomed .. thanx mac/mc
