[TowerTalk] Crating an aluminum tower for trucking

[krishna kanakasapapathi]

Hello,
 I am in need of advice on crating an aluma 25ft  long crankup tower.
 Will most likely be around 27ft with the nested sections and weigh 200lbs.
 The carrier that will transport it prefers that it is crated.
 Anyone have any pics of how this monster is crated as
 sent out by a manufacturer??

 The other choice is for me to rent a pickup & boat trailer
 in the 18ft range and do the hauling myself and avoid the crating.

 I live in the Raleigh NC area and the tower is in Ohio near lake
 Erie. A clean 600 mile one way drive.
 I plan on visiting Dayton and wish to take care of this transportation
 issue as well.

 Any inputs??
