TT:
My opinion of a Trylon Titan tower (which I have in my back yard) is that
is also is much different in design and function than an HDBX. The cross
braces on the HDBX are riveted onto the legs whereas the Trylon Titan cross
braces are bolted with galvanized hardware of varying diameter, depending on
which tower section is being assembled. And I ASSEMBLED my entire Trylon
T-500-64 rather than stacked factory-built sections on one another.
I've written here before: The Trylon Titan series is a great medium-duty
(max) design at a good price.

In the past, I have owned a Rohn HDBX48. The Trylon was more like
that and the AN was more like a Sherman tank, or maybe a Panzer ---- I'm not
much into tanks, but you get the idea. Not only do you have to consider the
tower breaking or falling over at the base, but you need to consider its
ability to sustain rotational/torsion forces. If you could just see the two
towers side by side, which one is superior would be obvious, but yes, cost
is a huge factor. The purchase cost of the AN tower is, in my opinion,
about 50% of the cost to get it actually in the air and then it is an
impossible tower to climb due to its diagonal struts, without the fall
arrest option (expensive but safety conscious).
