Re: [AFMUG] And this is how its done

I never attach it to very top of leg. It goes in between where the Z cross bars give it support. Model 25g sections are not heavy enough to crush legs if you hoist nice and slow.The pole is as high as it can go on attachment. We use two to three ropes depending on height and breeze

Re: [AFMUG] And this is how its done

I agree with the point of not putting it up that high. I just wanted to share that the legs are not designed to take a side load like that. Regards, Chuck On Sat, Apr 25, 2015 at 7:48 PM, Jaime Solorza losguyswirel...@gmail.com wrote: I never attach it to very top of leg. It goes in between

Re: [AFMUG] And this is how its done

I just want to put this out there about using that kind of gin pole. I had one collapse a leg. We were stacking 20G Rohn. The bottom of the pole was put on the top portion of the section. There was no cross bracing attached to that 10 of section. The bang, slam, etc. of that on that day, made

These two towers did not require a crane. Accidents can and do happen regardless. ..you have to always keep that first and foremost Jaime Solorza On Apr 25, 2015 5:42 PM, Josh Luthman j...@imaginenetworksllc.com wrote: Saves time which is money. Saves lives which is priceless. Josh Luthman

Re: [AFMUG] And this is how its done

I think we have that exact same gin pole.Do you always run/rig it that high? It seems like I have had better luck keeping the gin pole about 7' over the last section and lifting the next section at about 2/3 height, but I have not stacked anywhere near as much tower. Mark On 4/24/15

Re: [AFMUG] And this is how its done

Ha. Guiding it to avoid getting reamed by air terminal. Pulley on top and pulley at 4 ft on tower base makes it easy to hoist Jaime Solorza On Apr 24, 2015 12:51 PM, Bill Prince part15...@gmail.com wrote: Amazing strength lifting that tower section with one hand! bp

Re: [AFMUG] And this is how its done

I was stacking Trylon STG, it's a bit much for that gin pole. At 130lb/section it's not something you carry up by hand :-) Mark On 4/24/15 10:08 AM, Jaime Solorza wrote: This way is easier for me. I just drop in . Getting older so I use gin pole . Not before Jaime Solorza On Apr 24,
