I have been searching the Internet for info about Rohn (or other make) fold over towers but haven't found much. There seem to be quite a few of these fold over towers in use but who makes and sells t

Thanks to all who responded with ideas and suggestions to my posting about fold over towers. It's a pitty there are no manufactures left making fold over towers like Rohn. I've looked at Heights Towe

Greg: Based on my experience, I could recommend a Trylon Titan series of SS tower. Mine is their T-500-64. To haul up the antennas, my ground crew and I used a gin pole lashed to the top two feet of

I'm not a big fan of foldovers, having lost two that folded over a lot faster than they were supposed to (crashed). You don't want to wrestle antennas through guy wires? Don't! I have used the lift i

I have a 68' Rohn 25 foldover which I've had up since 1970. The first antenna was a TH6DXX which was replaced by a KT34XA in 1981 and has been up ever since. I've had no problems with the tower and

I would be very interested in how to tell which 45 tilt overs had problems, as I have an old one that I acquired from a SK's estate. What was the failure mode? Is there any way to tell from the stron

If the strong back was damaged, it may be slightly bent, have a welded piece attached or there may be an extra weld joint or two where there wasn't normally one during production. Bill KH7XS/K4XS **

Greg: Take a look at Heights Towers, they have a fold-over mechanism that works very well. I have an 80 ft tower that folds from the base using a motor driven jackscrew. MY tower is rated at 35 sq ft
