Re: [Repeater-Builder] Re: Antenna Tower
Some of the expense for a crane is travel time. Depending on the size of the crane, it may have restricted times that it can be moved adding to the expense of job. If I had a tower that I wanted to have taken down by a crane, I would look around for a crane company doing work in my area. For example, if they are in your area doing a pick of a modular home you may be able to negotiate a lower price. This would mean that you would have to have a very flexible time frame and may have to pay COD when the work is done. Joe -- Original message -- From: Chuck Kelsey [EMAIL PROTECTED] We just had to have a crane come in to pick a substation transformer off the ground and place it on a flatbed. There was no wait time as the transformer was all disconnected and already sitting outside the substation fence. Cost for crane was a little over $4,000.00. Now, I can only imagine the cost to have a crane take that tower down if one ends up being needed. Chuck WB2EDV

Nice tower, he should rent space on it.
[Repeater-Builder] Re: Antenna Tower
Two smart ways to get rid of that tower and both will cost some serious money. If the owner wants to reuse the feed line and antennas... add more money on the order of 3 to 6 dB min fees. Current price to properly pull that tower down is going to be between about $3k to $5.5k for the non pro work force and about $6.5 to $14k for the pro crew with insurance and the proper equipment and people to complete the job.

I've seen some 40+ year old towers that are still in very good condition. But I agree most that age aren't worth much if anything. Dex Rich [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Antenna Tower steal 95 Ft tapered.

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Re: Antenna Tower
Thanks Paul. Guess I picked up the www by clicking on the first part of the original link then pasting the work wrapped part. If that tower was in my area there is a local crane operator who would lay that stick down for less than $500 and no one would even have to climb.
