The doc doesn't say anything about patents. One device label says it is patented and the other said patent pending (I forget which said what). I bought mine in the early 1990's.

  Steve maybe can provide a light in this question of the  Tower Jack

Champion Radio Products was a TowerJack dealer for almost 20 years and
I had an excellent relationship with Kenny Gill,  the manufacturer. Since
his passing, his son has taken it over. Within the last 6 months I made an offer to buy it but we couldn't come to an agreement so as far as I know, no
one is selling TowerJack products any more since apparently  they're not
interested in selling anything to me anymore or anyone else for that matter.

Rohn was buying them from me since they couldn't get any help from TJ
so even though it's in the Rohn catalog, they're really not  available.


Is it patented? Or require some unusual fabrication?

From the pictures I've seen, it seems that almost any metal fabrication
shop could crank them out. Maybe not for the same price, but it sure
doesn't look like it would be hard to make them.
