Is the tower up? If not, insert the mast B4 raising the tower ... you can
then easily lift the mast by inserting a pulley in the bottom of it, running
a tied-off line to the top of the tower, thru a pulley at the top of the
tower, then back down -- to yet another pulley, attached to the base of the
tower. If no winch available. I SUGGEST USING A CAR OR TRUCK FOR RAISING
THE MAST UP THRU THE CENTER OF THE TOWER..human power tends to get wimpy
about 3/4 way up!

Subject: [TowerTalk] rigging for lifting a heavy mast?
I'm going to be installing a 20' heavy steel mast in my tower (a Trylon 72'
self-supporting tower). I will be renting a crane to lift the mast and drop
it from above. What kind of rigging do I use on the mast so it can be
lifted up vertically, without the sling slipping up off the top of the mast?
Thanks and 73,
Rob K4OV
