[TowerTalk] Elevator Systems --- request for photos, comments and /or drawings

[Alton McConnell]

Hello Everyone:
 
I have a 60' commercial grade steel (tapered) free standing tower that I want to fit with an elevator system. It is in 10 cubic yards of concrete and has one set of guys at 40' ( I like to see the guys when I am on the tower although the tower does not need them for the 2 element quad.)  
The antenna will be a four element tri-band quad with a 30' boom that I will turn with a prop pitch motor. (I  have all the parts for the project except the elevator.)
Does anyone have photos or drawings for an elevator system?
The ones that I have seen in the past use a top section of tower that runs on two cables that are attached to the side of the tower.  This is workable.  The issue is --- how does one secure the elevator at the top of the tower?  Can this be done without having to climb the tower and u-bolt the elevator to the tower.  Also --- any comments on winches?
 
Thanks,
Alton McConnell, NU8L
