>  I have had the US tower HDX-589mdpl crank-up for 18 years. It goes up and down perhaps 15-20 times a month. I do NOT stand there and watch it. With proper cable management there is no reason why the cables should get ?snagged", tangled or stuck.  If your cables are getting stuck, you need to redesign the management.
>  If running your crank-up tower is too ?risky? for you to do when not standing beside it, I respect that.  The purpose of this response is to point out that my tower has probably gone up and down over 1,000 times over the 18 years I have owned it and I did not stand there and watch it every time.
    Consider yourself LUCKY! I've seen a couple of catastrophes that could have been prevented if the owner was paying more attention to the tower while it was in motion.
