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

[Jim W7RY]

When I was installing towers many years ago, I would lift the top section 
(Rohn 25), the rotor plate, the rotor and 70-100 feet of cable on a regular 
basis.

I even raised all of that and a pair of 11 element Cush craft beams. 
Straight pull up of course.

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

I was wondering if anyone had any opinion on lifting the final section of 
25G, top stub and thrust bearing installed, along with a 30 pound mast 
nested within the section.  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.
