The antenna and tower design was fine, we had over the years installed quite a few of these systems from Sabre, Hy-Gain, Rockwell to US Antenna and never had a failure.
It was unfortunate that the clamps were not torqued to spec.
Reading from the projects start there were issues with the pressurized line etc.
These tilt over LP’s are made to do this along with that tilt boom bracket.
Cable crimp’s were never used on these turnkey LP antennas that we had installed and the rotation system has been pretty much standard.
