Rory Would this hold up sector with rf armor shields on an 130ft tower?

Use 2-3 hose clamps, commercial ones with weight ratings. We mount one on top one on bottom, pipe between them. Can easily handle use hanging on them. Here we have them holding up the Mimosa’s we just put up on a windmill.

The MTOW product line is amazing, but there is something to be said for a solid solution on the cheap.

If it's a quality plating job, it might be OK, because I see several bits of galvanized unistrut here and there, and they look fine even after years. But I occasionally see a hunk of unistrut that didn't have enough plating, and they will show their age.

The reason why I am asking this is because I am getting ready to mount 3 sectors on an tower that is 130 ft up and I see some of them tower stand offs are around 300 dollars per set I cant see spending that much on something like this.
