That's just it. One site to the next could require completely different rigging for success.
For example one of the water towers we have is a rounded pumpkin shaped bowl. No way a climber could be out there on the edge because there is no edge! The tower crew fabricated a sled with caster wheels and attached it the face of the 6' antenna. Once the antenna reached the side of the tower it was able to roll around the side of the bowl and up to the top. Pretty slick, but much easier said than done.

I agree with Brad. Lifting a 4' dish is like lifting a 13 sq ft piece of plywood. Be careful. You need to tag this load about 150+ feet from the base of the tower to protect other equipment on the tower and your antenna. Very unpredictable if not rigged right. -B- Sent from my Verizon Wireless BlackBerry -----Original Message----- From: "Gino Villarini" <[email protected]> Date: Thu, 4 Mar 2010 11:12:45 To: <[email protected]>; WISPA General List<[email protected]> Subject: [WISPA] Electric Hoist?
