Steve the tower you described reminds me of the Aluma Tower which is made here in Florida. It very closely resembles lawn furniture. The Heights crank up towers, which are also made in Florida, are a

My friends I take acceptation to all this crankup tower "stuff". I have a 75HD Aluma tower, if it "lawn furniture" I'll invite the elephants over to sit. I could not afford to have a 75ft tower erect

It's been some years back, so today's Heights Towers may not even be constructed by the same company, but I helped remove a Yagi from a living room after one of the Heights fold over towers dumped th

I wonder if those blowing smoke on the product ever owned one? Seems like sometimes folks just make a sideways comment that is really not much more than a commenter's subjective opinion of "one"...so

I have had an Alumatower crank up in use for 11 years. No problems and no complaints. Still looks and functions as new. It is virtually maintenace free also. It has a stainless cable. Just periodic l

OK, I was going to stay out of this aluminum tower discussion, as I am definitely going to say some things that go beyond the manufacturer's design. K7LXC please cover your eyes and ears! :-) I own a

Florida EMA's trailer towers only come out after the fact - they don't need to deal with real weather. There is an Aluma Tower out back of AES in Orlando. I've seen it many times and it definitely f

Hi, I was wondering if anyone knows of a device that could be used for the purpose of using with an Anemometer to lower the tower when the wind reached a certain speed. Have it hooked up to the winch

John, Not a good practice in my opinion to raise or lower a crank up without actually being present at the tower. Too many things can go wrong. You can still add the Anemometer, but rather put an ala

Any of a number of programmable logic controllers (PLC) could do this. However, you've got some serious engineering in front of you. Some things to consider: 1) Safety Interlocks.. how will you preve

I agree ... rig an alarm that goes off when the wind speed gets too high, but control the tower yourself. It's not that difficult to design your own alarm, but here's a commercially available system

something like the tilt switch on a pinball machine: a pendulum hanging inside a conductive ring that the wind pushes, would probably work. Adjust either by looking up the deflection angle vs windspe
