Hi Dave,
I don't recall where I got this from, but in some of my notes I wrote down
the following limits that were listed for a T2X:
Max vertical thrust: 1,000 lbs
Max boom: 45 ft
Max turning torque: 1,000 in-lbs
Max brake torque: 7,000 in-lbs
Hope this helps & good luck on your project.

Subject: [TowerTalk] Max antenna weight
I have a HyGain Tailtwister rotor mounted inside seven sections of Rohn 45.
I plan on placing a 10 foot mast into the rotor (2" O.D.
galvanized steel pipe), through a heavy duty thrust bearing, and on the
mast, a HyGain TH-11 (not exactly a featherweight itself).
My question is: How much weight will the Tailtwister rotor handle?
Is potentially this too much weight? I have been told that the HyGain
rotors will handle up to 1000 lbs of weight. While I'm not close tot hat
weight, this is a heavy amount. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Dave, W8QW
