Vendors hate when I say this, but MSRP is almost never the price you pay.
There are almost always nice discounts off of MSRP for all products from all
vendors. Just the way the game is played.

As far as I know, we have not changed prices in a couple of years.

we were robbing the angled clamp from sitepro upc1 to fot the angle on the
elevator platforms, then a backer pipe inside. but it turned out we were
getting the mtows way cheaper than we were supposed to, when the price went to
msrp, we went exclusively to upc1. wanna bet which sites will fail first? i
really liked the mtows

On our grain elevator (almost identical), I drilled holes through the
railing and used U-bolts to mount pipes. It worked out slick. I don't have a
closeup handy.

Note these are formed heavy sheet metal and you can’t just crank a clamp
made for a round pipe down on them.

Yes! that could be very useful.

How about MTOW or pipe-to-pipe-clamp variants to attach to the L and U
channels we find on some grain legs, both vertical and horizontal, could also
be used to attach pipes to various handrails.

Wisp boxes. I like that. Built in DIN.

How about larger pipes on the mounts? Like a 2-3"? Sector Frames?
I know you do injection molding for your antennas, have you ever
thought about doing NEMA style boxes?
Just some ideas to throw around...

Thanks, wish I could take total credit. The quality of the hot dip
galvanize job is a bit out of our hands. The amount of dross on the pot,
temperature of the day, mix of zinc and other things as well as freshness of
the pickling tank and pickling time all go into the quality of the
galvanization and we farm that out to a local company. We have been working on
the fit and inspection.
I appreciate the note, we do try. And we are always up for making
other hot dipped tower products. Anyone want us to add to the product line,
let me know and I will see if I can improve on the price or performance on any
other product out in the world. I prefer to do custom stuff nobody else does,
but I am not above knocking off something if I can offer something in the way
of design improvement or cost reduction.

Props to WB for improving their MTOWs. Most notably the cleaner
galvanizing and the hardware fitting together perfectly. Not a huge difference
since these products have already been great, but the quality bonus is
noticeable and appreciated!
