Re: [TowerTalk] UST 72' Crankup Tower Question

[Dino Darling <dino@k6rix.com>]

The HDX-572 uses the bottom 4 sections of the 89' tower.  So yes, the 
base section is the next size bigger than the TX-472.  I just swapped 
out one for the other in Anaheim, but I don't know the actual 
dimensions.  The US Tower site lists them however...

The TX-472 has a maximum height of 72' without mast and a minimum 
nested height of 22' 8." This tower consists of 4 sections, the top 
one being 12 1/2" and the bottom section is 21 5/8."

The HDX-572MDPL has a maximum height of 72' without mast and a 
minimum nested height of 22' 8." This tower consists of 4 sections, 
the top one being 15" and the bottom section is 25 5/8."
