[TowerTalk] What model is this tower?

[donovanf at starpower.net]

Jeremy,

>From you photographs, it appears to be Rohn 45 tower, with a pier pin base plate.

There are three safety issues with the guying material shown in the photo:

1. The rusty guy wire has reached the end of its safe life. 

2. The three screw-in anchors are much too small for safe use on that tower. I'm amazed that the tower didn't fall over!

3. Thimbles were not used with the guy grips, as a result the grips  have deformed to an unsafe small diameter.  When you replace the guy grips, be sure you purchase the proper heavy duty thimbles.
