Howdy!

Anyone have any idea how much tower trailers cost? Looking for something
that erects to about 40 foot and is not on a huge trailer. Need it for
doing site surveys in the hills so it may see a little bit of off-road use.

A big factor is what kind of load you're putting up. If you're putting up a 2.45 GHz probe that has no appreciable wind load, then it can be really light weight.

If you're putting up a 2 foot dish in a 50 mi/hr wind, it's a bit different.

Are you looking for a home built/used, or something that is insurable as part of a business, etc. THere are differences in things like how it erects, safety equipment and all that.

Tashjian has several trailers starting at around $10k to sort of give you an idea.

Various others are in the same general price range.
