Hi John,
Take a look here: http://www.onemantowers.com/photopage1.html
About 1/3-1/2 half way down the page on the left, right above the caption :
"Attaching the cable pulley to the top of the section. This step is repeated
for each section as it is placed".
The forces on the build-in lifting trolley with someone climbing on the
offset section have got to be pretty significant. Then again, the
welding/tower looks pretty beefy. This is when you trust that the guy doing
the welding wasn't coming back from a lunch which includes Fosters :)
On the other hand, this does look like a pretty good idea that bears
watching.
73,
Gary

Uhh, which picture did you see someone on the offset section??
I have been thru that site a few dozen times.
And they are trying to reduce inventory in California BTW
Decent price break, hi hi
But I have yet to see someone on an offset section of tower

No, but it looks like an interesting alternative to the Hazers. Climbing out
on the offset section during construction looks a little flakey.
