We might use unistrut for a stiff arm on a commercial tower, but we've
typically used 2" galvy pipe for that.

I don't know. If you knew the load of the hose clamps, u-bolts and
the ratings on the screws/plates holding the unistrut together, maybe.
You might even weld them, add more hose clamps or actual bands.
Really though, that's out of the league of how I use them. The
unistrut isn't the weak point and everything else can be enforced or
added to for more strength. Rust in Arizona also isn't my biggest
problem and we can reach all of ours with a ladder.

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

Very strong. 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.

We use these on locations with odd poles at lower locations.

Deep Slotted strut + two 1 1/2" ten foot conduit sections with clamps
= about $30 and gives you twenty foot of sector mounting space. The
MTOW product line is amazing, but there is something to be said for a
solid solution on the cheap.

And not just plated, but dipped. Makes a big difference.
Unistrut is usually just plated. 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.
HDG hangs in for the long haul.

as anybody used power/unistrut to make an tower stand off bracket
before? 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.
Thanks Tim
