Hi Tony,
I have a Heights 88' self-supporting tower and love it. It's very well m
ade and very durable for Aluminum. It is MUCH higher quality than the
Univeral Aluminum tower I had previously.
I did not purchase the tilt-over option but I now plan to do so. Lowering
the tower without the Heights Fold Over Kit and Electric Motor is a bear-
much more difficult and time consuming than I ever expected. But with the
Fold Over Kit I'm sure it's a breeze!
I believe you would be very happy with a 48' Heights tower and the Heights
Electric Fold Over Kit! I'd like to lower the height of my 88' tower down
to 64' or 72'
to make it even stronger but I can't unless I remove an Oak tree. By the
way, my tower has the 35" base and I highly recommend getting the Heavy-Duty
version if you can afford it as even the Heavy-Duty version has alot of
flexing in it due to the qualities of Aluminum.
73,

Hello fellow hams. Im trying to determine the most effective and least
maintenance way to go about planning a tower installation. Keep in mind the
tower will only hold a small 20 meter mono band and a 4 element 2 meter beam
above.Total weight of both maybe 44 pounds.The hazer looks great but to
many moving parts and maintenance same with a telescopic tower. Im looking for
something i would not have to climb. I discovered a nice looking heights
48' free standing tower.It incorporates a 1" worm screw. I see nothing that
would errode or deteriorate. Look like for the most part quite solid and
permanent.Everything can be done on the ground as well as one man putting it
together with no help. Any experience or advice would be apreciated.
