Hello, I am considering purchasing a US Tower 50 ft crank-up. I have never put up a tower before and could use some advice. Does anyone have an opinion on US Tower quality, customer service, etc? Als

I'd install a Trylon self supporting tower instead, unless you absolutely can not climb. The Trylon sections can be hand carried and installed piece by piece with no crane required (even though it's

In spite of the fact that they're the 800 pound gorilla, they make a great product and bend over backwards to help their customers. Why do you think you need a crank-up? They're more expensive and mo

My guess is that this would be difficult and a little dangerous. You're talking about something that weighs maybe 600 lbs. But worse, the sections can slide while carrying, mangling fingers, etc. Eas

You will need some muscle to get the tower off the truck, which if you did not know is your responsibility and not the trucking companies. Before you remove the tower from the truck, you pay a visit

sections I guess it depends on how strong, young, and/or accident prone you and your friends are. I have moved more crank-up towers than I can count in this fashion, just as you describe, from the s

I've moved two crank ups (Tristao CZ-454FS ~ 400 lbs, and a UST HDX-555 ~870 lbs) from the front to the back yard by using ~ 4-5 inch heavy duty PVC pipe as rollers. The HDX is a bit more challanging

I have a fifty foot EZ Way just installed on a home brew wonder post. Being that my QTH is in a 115 mph wind zone.(South Florida) Being able to lower the tower and tilt it over seems like the prudent
