<< I just acquired a Tri-Ex THD-7122 light duty 122 foot guyed crank up
tower. It didn't have any guy wires and so now I'm looking for a good
way to guy this tower. It has seven sections and that comes to around
2000 feet of guy wire. I don't want to spend an arm and a leg on guys,
but I'd like something that will work well. I am a little apprehensive
about how much of a mess the wires will be when it is cranked down.
Any experiences or advice would be very much appreciated. >>
What does the factory say? Like-wise the manual?
Some crank-ups are designed for guying but not all. The guywire tension
adds more forces on the crank-up cables and pulleys so it's only recommended
if it's factory approved.
