Each Tower System Pack comes with a detailed drawing and step-by-step installation instructions, eliminating any confusion on the jobsite. Two workmen can easily install one stand. Contact your local authorities for licensing requirements of the installers.
The Tower System Pack comes packaged in 2 wood crates that can be moved with a forklift. One crate becomes a wire reel jack for ease of dispensing the grounding conductor by placing a 1" bar (included) through 2 precut holes in the crate.
To reduce the time spent on site, ship your lighting controller to our shop so all the power wiring and mounting are completed before shipment. Or, give us your tower lighting specifications and we will include a FAA approved lighting system with all of the necessary equipment, including flashheads, sidelights, cables and your pre-wired controller for a quick install.
1 – The Metal "H" frame
Our metal "H" frame consists of vertical 3"
galvanized pipe, horizontal members are specially designed,
galvanized "Zee" channels that will not sag under
load. The equipment is mounted to the horizontal members by
way of vertical galvanized "EL" channel, stainless
steel beam clamps and bolts, permitting vertical placement
to site conditions. The stainless steel and galvanized material
guarantees that the stand will last a lifetime.
2 – The electrical and telephone entrance equipment
Any type or size of electrical service equipment can be pre-assembled
and mounted to the "H" frame. Our telephone entrance
enclosure is pre-assembled with a plywood backboard laminated
with FRP and a 2"X 8" copper ground bar with #2
tinned solid ground tail. Many other options are available
depending upon the telephone utilities requirements. Contact
us for additional details.
