I put up a 40' free standing aluminum tower last last year, with a 2-element quad on top. The tower was easy to walk up and seems to be exactly what was advertised. The problem is that, as the years

That could work; how much concrete does US Towers want? Do you need to permit the work? If so, and even if not, I'd solicit advise from a structural engineer just to be safe. If you do pour against t

If you're looking at the US Towers HDX-555, it requires a concrete base 5'x5' and 6.5' deep (a little over 6cu yrds), with rebar cage. Good luck, David, K4ZZR gone

Which series - MA, HDX, what? Mucho differences between the different types. Maybe - see question above. What's the manufacturer's spec for the new base? Cheers, Steve K7LXC TOWER TECH

If you're thinking of the TX-455, which is their smallest 55' tower, the 2.75 yards of concrete would normally be enough, but only with the standard base embedded in a monolithic pour. Drilling for j

Re: K3BU's suggestion... I wouldn't do this, because unless I'm mistaken, I thought the original tower was aluminum, which means the original base legs are also aluminum and likely not up to the task

Hi Bill, I would follow Mr. Katz's advice. Follow the Mfgr's suggestions on digging a proper hole and building a new base for the crankup. This is the safe and prudent approach. IMHO, using the old b

My opinion follows (your smileage may vary): I think a crank-up tower is overkill for a 2 element quad at less than 60 feet. If not wanting to climb was my only driving force, I would investigate the

Many thanks for all the suggestions (and photos). I am checking with the person who dug the hole for the current base (for the 40' aluminum tower). If it is at least 5' deep, I will probably reuse th

When I replaced a TX-455 for a client that had gone over in the wind, with a HDX 572, I sent a copy of the tower engineering specs to Hilti Products. They came back with the specifications required.
