[TowerTalk] Fwd: Triex WT51

[Hans Hammarquist]

Aluminum is more expensive but it has its advantages. You can throw it on your car, in my case a 328 BMW, and drive it home. I carried it myself to the erection pace. I think to total weight was about 300#.  Check the picture at the end. The total hight is 85 feet.

I used a similar scheme to move my TX472 from the
front yard (where it was placed by the hauler), to
the back yard.  I fabricated trucks (tires/wheels +
axles), using 16" pneumatic tires/wheels + 3/4"
steel rod sandwiched between sticks of 2x4*.

I used single strips of plywood, and used my rolling
floor jack to pick up one end to turn it.  See photos

* I now have parts with which to build a nice
yard cart.
