I do not have crane experience, but I am curious about one aspect by those
that do.

 

If you have a top assembly of a few tower sections, mast and long yagis all
being hoisted as one assembly by a crane to top off the install, how hard is
it to get the legs of the section to drop in and not bind and get the bolts
through?  It seems like the moment arm pivot would make that highly
problematic.

 

Curious by those who have done that - on the tower - and slid the bolts
through.
