- This video demonstrates the basic principles for installing a Rohn style tower using a Gin Pole, small ground crew and a man on tower. This uses safety practices that are no longer up to OSHA standards for tower work, however the lineman's belt method allows for the most moment on this size of tower. Any climbing is done at the operator's risk, period.
I was an Outside Wire an Antenna Maintenance installer in the USAF. Got to travel the world installing and maintaining antennas and towers of all sorts. I'm 60 and don't care for climbing anymore. I've been a ham since 1973. I won't mess with anything much over 60 feet, now.
Nice solar panels on the house! Thanks for the video
Great video thanks for taking me along.
If you use 2 or 3 drift punches to align the holes at the same time (instead of that hand jack) the job will go much easer and much , much faster. Enjoyed the video 73 Leo
I love these towers to put my tv antennas up on to get better tv reception for my tv sets.
where did you buy the gin pole from?
A Gin Pole is very handy if you don't have a ground crew. I watched a video on YT of guy muscling his tower sections up the tower and raising it above his head to mount. I would never done it that way. With a ground crew the Gin Pole makes erecting the section much easier. I agree with James Searcy's assessment. I always dab never sieze on the leg tops. Makes sliding the next section onto the legs of the lower section easier and much easier when taking down. Never had to use the Tower Jack. If it works for you though, great. My climbing are over, now. - KB8AMZ
These things are extremely universal. Most of my county's warning sirens are mounted on these towers with anti climb at the bottom
That was dangerously done
Never grab with your hands over the bolt holes while pushing section down into place. It shears a piece of your skin off your hand from inside the bolt hole. I learned that the hard way.
buen video, yo tambien tuve ese problema de el acomodo de los orificios para los tornillos de cada tubo de la torre, por esa razón empece a fabricar torres y ese problema ya esta resuelto...
This makes me wonder why I did not put those last 3 sections on my tower.
wow...you also have photo voltaic....nice
How did you guys do the foundation for the tower? I want to put one of these up at my house and am curious.
Where did you get the gin pole?
No gloves or hard hats? I added a loop of wire to the top of my gin pole so when I need to move it up, I hook it to the top of the tower - then slide the mount up and clamp it - then slide the pipe up. de N8DP
Is this why we are know'n has Hams. Good job the shells ain't dropping close by and you have a priority 1 message to send in a few seconds time. Nice tower. Hope it stays up ok
When was the antenna installation completed? I was wondering because you lifted the mast with nothing attached.
oooooh hell no. I am a big wussy. Seeing your shadow on the ground gave me chills.
Gin pole mean which pipe is it?
