Are you telling me the tower only weighs 40 pounds?
Quoting Dave Tipton <dave@w5dmt.com>:
If I understand what you are saying, roughly (40x4)+(4x50) = 360 lbs
That is actually less than I anticipated.
Your concern about the wall, is however a shared one. Thinking an
internal guy running along a roof truss might be in order.

if the 'hinge' is at ground level and your winch is at the 10'
level, the total force of those two loads will be:
2x the tower load PLUS
4x the 'top' load.
that's quite a bit for the position of the winch .. AND .. if the
winch is connected to the garage, it just might pull the garage
wall down.

I have a 40 foot Rohn 25, with a tilt base section. It will be
sitting next to a detached framed (not block) garage with siding.
I can attach a winch to an extra guy bracket I have at the ten foot level.
There will be roughly 50 lbs at the top of the tower. (Rotator,
Hex Beam, GP3)
How much is the maximum force required to raise this from a cable
at the 10 foot level?
Thanks,
Dave, W5DMT
