Radio tower 80' large
In 2004 I purchased this tower from a cell phone company. These four sections ended up not being used in a project they had; and the sections were setting in the parking lot of their building in Florida. I brought them back to South Dakota and had a plan for them. I stored them inside in my warehouse until a year ago. The tower was new in 1999 and these are NOS sections.
The tower was manufactured by Central Tower in Indiana. It is galvanized and consists of four 20' long sections 42" center to center. The legs are 4" Solid Rod. The sections weigh 3400# each. There are climbing crossbars and a feedline support. I have clips for 1 5/8" line that should work with the supports. Please do not contact Central; they refuse to build additional sections for the tower. They would however be glad to sell you a new tower at like $10,000 a section. I work with a nearby company for my engineering work.
This tower could be installed either self supporting or in a guyed configuration. The standard base mount would be 1" J bolts in the concrete. This tower could be used for a number of things. Windcharger, very large antennas, support for EME arrays, or even a large sign. I have several ideas for a rotating mast and also have discussed rotating assemblies to clamp on to the sections to support rotating arrays partially up the tower.
The tower will take a large all terrain fork lift to load your truck. I have access to one for $200 a day from the local implement dealer at your expense. It would take loading on my car trailer one at a time and taking them to the street. I'll be pleased to do the loading.
You will need to contact your own flat bed trucking company, but the weight is a known quantity of 13,600# Exactly. I did pull it across the country with an F350 crew dually and a 20,000# tandem dually gooseneck implement type trailer that was rated for the load.
Feel free to contact me to discuss this tower; my phone number is on my about me page, or feel free to email. Please don't waste my time with lowball offers as I can get much of my listing price at the local scrap yard. It would be a shame to melt this tower.
