[TowerTalk] Rohn GAR30 anchors for 55g tower?

[TexasRF at aol.com]

Hi Bryan, while the GAR30 and EP25345 are less expensive, it is actually a  
savings of only $4 compared to the GAC3455TOP anchor. 
 
All of Rohn's 25G, 45G and 55G pre engineered towers specify the larger  
GAC3455TOP anchors now. 
 
This does seem a bit of overkill on small single guy level towers but that  
is what is called for.
 
If you have more questions, please don't hesitate to call me tomorrow at  
800 272 3467.

Anyone  using the GAR30 anchor rods for a 55g tower at 120-140ft? I see the 
GAC3455  rods are typically the spec but have noticed a couple of tower 
install photos  on the net of people using the GAR's with the 5 hole equalizer 
plates for 55g  towers. The load rating on the GAR's 7,330 versus the 3455's 
of 17,670 is a  huge difference so just might answer the question for me! 
Thanks for any  feedback in  advance!
