## What are u planning to put on top of this tower ? The Trylon super titan series will easily handle
100++ mph gusts and also loads of ice, like > 1 inch on all surfaces. IE: simultaneous ice + windload.
The biggest they make in that series is 180 ft tall. If you want just 120 ft, you can buy any 120 ft of
sequential sections you want. IE: the weakest would be the top 120 ft of the 180 ft tower.
The strongest would be the bottom 120 ft of the 180 ft tower.
## They also make another series of towers, that uses solid legs + welded solid rod bracing.
It goes to a max of 150 ft. Again, you can buy sequential sections. Again the strongest
would be the bottom 120 ft. The weakest would be the top 120 ft.
## They have loads of dealers in the usa.
