[TowerTalk] Lifting final 25G section with mast nested within.

[Grant Saviers]

Check out http://k7nv.com/notebook/id7.htm  for an analysis.  btw the 
Rohn pole is 0.125" 6061 wall and rated for 45G @70# per section.

Never use a pole as a tram tie off or pull at an angle against the pole.

My gin pole utilizes a 12’ length of 6061-T6 aluminum,  2” diameter, 3/8 wall thickness.  The combines weight of the the assembly is close to 80 lbs.  The gin pole has been very sturdy during individual section lifts, but I don’t know if #80 is pushing it.
