They certainly are the weakest link in the system. OTOH maybe I shouldn't say that without seeing the other ends of the guys. <:-)) I guess I'm a bit puzzled as to why put those rings in there in the
Yes I use them for key rings, I think there is a warning about them not being actually used for climbing, How would you like to hook your belt around that tower and lean back and look at those?! The
Well, there lots of things to question in that whole process, not the least of which was manually transferring a 30 foot long 100 lb mass from the boom lift to the tower 60 feet above ground with no

Why worry about little things like that when you have a key chain ring holding up the tower! They may not be "key chain rings". When I worked @ Lowe's we sold solid steel rings (welded together) that
Look thru the photos, you'll find someone actually on top of the tower. Henry, NM6V __________ Information from ESET NOD32 Antivirus, version of virus signature database 5051 (20100422) __________ Th
Good point Bill, very true, if they had dropped it on those key chains, it would have been a wrap. I was looking at all the other pics and there was a comment that "no expense was spared in the const
In the description for one of the earlier pictures, it states no expense was spared for the tower construction. I would beg to differ. Those rings are scary. Not to mention that 12 element LP is prob
those are "welded steel rings".. as I recall, the 1/4" diameter ones (the diameter of the rod they're made of) have a load rating of few hundred pounds. Yes, they'll deform under load, but what you'r

What is the proper way? I read the some of the reply posts talking about - well everything wrong with the hardware, and yes to me the installation does look like a major problem about to happen. But,
Wonder how long thoses rings will hold and not rust. Jack KZ4USA Bradenton, Florida _______________________________________________ _______________________________________________ TowerTalk mailing l
I'd be very worried that they would crack as they deform to an oval shape under load. I'll bet that's what you'd see if you put one in a vice and squished it. The areas either side of the weld are li
No, but the link above it is and the largest I've seen at Lowe's was 1200# (they may carry larger). They have a manufacturer's or distributor's tag that lists the permissible working load. I use them
Well, once they decided to use the screw chain links, they needed something that would fit into them, which the thimbles would not do. This part of the install was not planned very well, but the ring

ROHN makes a guy bracket that fits around the tower. They consist of 3 bars about 1/4" thick and around an inch or inch and a quarter wide for the 25G. They are bigger for the 45G. These sections are
I forwarded a copy of Hector's email to the tower owner along with a copy of the Rohn hardware page that has their shackles and a note suggesting that he change out that improper hardware (I also rec
