Describe the base. Is it a 1/2" metal plate app 4" X 10 with a row of 3/4" holes on ea leg? What's the length nested? The winches may be anything so I'd hesitate to call it cobbled. How about a link to a photo. Once you know what it needs for a base, you "may" be able to order one. If not, most welding shops can build one to spec.

Friends,

I am purchasing a crank up tower as part of an estate sale. But I am having problems identifying what it is. It is a 5 section unit, motorized and the bottom section is 30 inches tube center to center, or about 32.x face to face. This makes it slightly too big for a UST HDX589, and just in between a Tashjian DX-86 and DX-86HD. And of course, I need to buy a new base for it so I am struggling and need some help. The winch is marked Rohn, but I am suspicious it was cobbled together for the application.

The tower is mounted with a tilt over cradle, which may or may not be homemade. Any ideas, folks?

73,
Drew K3PA
