I believe a previous post was incorrect. It is my understanding that
Tristao became Tri-Ex, not US Tower. Tri-Ex was later sold to Karl Tashjian
who currently makes towers under the name of Tashjian Towers. Tashjian
makes a couple of 54 foot crankup towers: a standard model without motorized
winch (LM-354) and a heavy duty model with or without motorized winch
(LM-354HD or LM-354HDSP). I believe your Tristao is an early model of this
tower. I'm betting you can probably get engineering drawings and a base
from Tashjian Towers. Try going to www.tashtowers.com.
