I’ve had a 52 ft crank up (Hy Gain HG-52 SS) for a number of years. The past
week there were two hi wind events here on Long Island. The base of the tower
has failed. The tower was extended and I forgot to lower it before vacation. It
has been cranked down, then fell over in second windy event. The 18 ft boom
prevented it from hitting my rear fence. Two beams are suspended over my
neighbor’s property. Luckily they haven’t freaked out (yet.) Possibly bottom
tower’s dog ear feet may have bent. I’m looking to replace e the tower of
similar height or slightly taller. The rebar protrusions from the base likely
won’t fit newer towers. I don’t have room to sink in a new base. This base is
approximately 2.5 cu. Yards . How can I remove this base. Hire people with Jack
hammers or could this cube of concrete be lifted out with a crane?
Any ideas or suggestions.
