The problem:


I need to move a 24 foot long (when collapsed), 2,400 pound tower.

*************************************

I second the motion of using a boat trailer. I've moved a couple of crankups in 
the 22 ft range. I was able to borrow a boat trailer about 20 ft long from a 
friend. We carefully winched the tower(s) onto the trailer, secured it and off 
we went. The trailer easily handled the weight (600-800 lbs in my case), and no 
worry about lights, etc, since the trailer had them. I'm sure if a trailer 
can't be borrowed, they are available for rent at any large boat/marine supply 
dealer. They are in this area.
