Friend of mine has cornered a very unusual deal. Seems a local wireless services company decided they needed a temporary tower in case one of theirs met with a catastrophe. So, they got a tower system from Upright. It's more than 200 feet, along with guys, stairwells, etc.

This thing looks like a scaffold. It weights over 6000 lbs. Likely cost $100,000 or more when new.

The wireless services company went bankrupt, so this tower went for pennies on the dollar.

Does anyone know anything about this tower system?
