The Standard-Duty aluminum crank-up towers are designed for small antennas up to five square feet of antenna surface area and 40lbs. of dead weight. These towers are intended to be bracketed and/or guyed. The uppermost section of these towers will not accept internally mounted rotors. The standard telescoping towers are complete with a 1-1/2 dia. X .125 wall x 5’ long mast, guy ears on each section, heavy-duty building bracket and tilt base. The Standard-Duty tower is ideal to elevate lightweight antennas, sampling gear, wind speed and direction equipment and any other similar instrumentation.
