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?
