[TowerTalk] FW: Rohn-25G Removal

[Jeff Griffin]

  Thanks for the reply Steve. I will look through my older photos and try to find some pics from the last time I completely dropped my tower. This was about 5 years ago. I also plan on contacting Morrison Tower to get permission to photograph and measure their remaining pair of tower jacks. In any case pictures to follow shortly...

    >    What I'm looking for is a set of two tower jacks (local name?). One piece
    of a  tower jack is a stiff piece of pipe with feet on one end, the other
    end has what appears to be a upward pointing rake. In the middle is a
    mechanical jack, that is fully extended. Fully extended it is then placed
    against the tower and used to jack the tower down , or  fully closed it is
    then used to jack the tower up. The second part is a piece of pipe with feet
    on one end, and what appears to be a stiff up pointing rake, no jack. This
    is used to hold the tower up while the jack is repositioned. Using these two
    pieces a  tilt over tower can be easily, and safely raised or lowered.
      A pair of tower jacks is used to erect or lower a one piece stand-alone 
    tower.
    >  A front end loader or pickup could also be used , if there is room for the 
    vehicle.
          Interesting but I've still got no idea what you mean. A picture's worth 1k words.
