[TowerTalk] moving tower

[Jim Fitzpatrick]

The problem:


I need to move a 24 foot long (when collapsed), 2,400 pound tower.
> 
> I can not find a rental trailer that is longer than 14 feet.

*************************************

I second the motion of using a boat trailer. I've moved a couple of crankups in the 22 ft range. I was able to borrow a boat trailer about 20 ft long from a friend. We carefully winched the tower(s) onto the trailer, secured it and off we went. The trailer easily handled the weight (600-800 lbs in my case), and no worry about lights, etc, since the trailer had them. I'm sure if a trailer can't be borrowed, they are available for rent at any large boat/marine supply dealer. They are in this area.
