John:
I am attaching two scans of sheets from an old TriEx catalog on this tower.
Sorry, but I don't have more data.
I could find no date in this catalog, however there is no ZIP code in their
address, so I would assume the tower was produced prior to the use of USPS
ZIP codes (mid 60's?).
I have several other TriEx catalogs, but the HZN series does not appear in
them.
Hope this is of some help.

Hello-
I have a chance to purchase a Tri-Ex HZ 354 crank up tower locally for a
good price. The tower appears to be in good shape, with only minor surface
rust in some places. Cable is intact and in decent shape. It also has a
motorized winch assembly, but that needs a little work (new belt etc)
I have spent several hours online trying to figure out the specs on this
tower. Some of the information posted says the tower is light duty and
needs to be bracketed to a house, and maybe even guyed. The tower looks
pretty rugged to me- the bottom section measures slightly over 19" across.
I don't want to buy this tower only to discover that it will only hold 5 or
6 sq ft of antenna. I have a TH6 and maybe a 12/17 mtr beam I would like
to put on it.
Does anyone have any leads where I might be able to find the specs? I
already tried Tashjian Towers- they have specs regarding the LM354 series
tower but not the HZ 354.
My guess is that this is a 40+ year old tower, and although it looks good,
it just might not be robust enough to hold 10-15 sq ft of antennas.
Thanks for any help-
John K2ZJ
