We typically install a section or two of 25G on most grain legs. That's high enough for rigging to have the hauled gear clear the railing. And it keeps most of our gear up away from the nitwits that go up and work on stuff. Plus they like to spray that silver metallic paint every couple years.

i just want it made out of mtows
i like mtows, I have a picture of a milwaukee bag filled with them, if i wasnt so cheap to pay the ten cents at walgreens i would have printed that picture out to keep in my wallet next to the pictures of my kids. If I had room on the couch, i would sleep with the mtows at night

    Are you sure that you’re not solving a problem that’s already been
    solved?  People lift equipment up grain legs all the time.  If
    there isn’t a permanent lifting device installed, I doubt a WISP
will want to install one, more likely rig something temporary. Like an aluminum snatch block tied off to the structure, with
    another pulley travelling along the rope to carry the load.

    This situation comes up all the time at towers, and you rig something.

    Perhaps instead use a pair of these to start with so you are not
    limited to a particular spacing between clamps.

    Then a pipe, coupled to another pipe for the swivel etc etc.

    the mtows are 500lbs each? I would think so, the grain leg ones
    alot of times are this same concept, pipe sitting on a pin with a
    grease zerk on it and a sleeve or flat metal halfway up that it
    goes through, no bearings really. The middle sleeve is where the
    bulk of the force ends up i think

        OK, but I could use my mount as the base and then the arm and

        Essentially an attachment to add on to my tower mounts?

        the arms on the grain legs rotate over to drop your gear onto
        the platform instead of manhandling it over the rail.

                Rohn makes a light weight one. I think Valmont makes
                one designed die a tower that puts the pulley or about
                3 feet and is really handy for mounting disks on the
                side of towers.  Chuck should make one.

                    yard arm

                    if youre on a leg, mot have a spot for attaching a
                    rotating one

                    most grain elevators either have one or where the
                    radius of two bins intersect there is a steel beam

                    a very dangerous but effective solution is
                    harnessing your guy, put a pulley on his front
                    loops and secure his back to the structure have
                    him lean out 45 degrees, or bring up a light
                    weight A frame, not as fun though

                        Hey guys,

                        I'm not sure if Gin Pole is the right term but
                        we're looking for something like that for
                        lifting things up our grain leg sites that
                        will attach to the structure or our antenna
                        pipes. This would allow us to attach our
                        pulley above the structure so we can lift our
                        gear up and over the railings at our sites.

                        Any idea what exactly I should be looking for
                        and any recommended products for us to look at?

                        Thanks
