Hello All
The manual for the Array Solutions swing gate states that a 42' mast can be 
used with 3 bearing arms with 1 rotor.
This is cut from the web page at Array Solutions

  "The Side mount may be use to turn multiple beams on a very long rotor 
mast.

We can supply bearing plates and tower cross arms for these installations.  
For instance you may have a large rotor mounted near the ground and a 42 
foot rotor mast held in place with 3 bearing arms. This could allow several 
beams to be mounted with their own swinging gates."

I have no conection with Jay or Array Solutions. I have just been looking at 
the specs on the web site.

here :)
