Pretty tough question. You have two choices: US Tower or an aluminum one
by Universal or Heights (only one of them makes a crank-up but I don't
remember which one).
Aluminum is a tower material only used by Universal and Heights. There
are NO commercial towers made of aluminum (except maybe the trailer-mounted
version from one of the aforementioned manufacturers - I don't remember which
one).
You'll probably go with the Heights/Universal one since shipping costs
are less than shipping a steel tower from California.
