It'll be heavy too.....you'll have to rig to lift your rigging. What
are you going to hoist up the tower that's so big you want the yard arm?
I know some people do like big TV antennas and such, but I guess what
WISP gear are you going to lift that's this big of a deal?
I'm not trying to be a negative Nelly. It just comes naturally to me.

that what this is, a temporary, robust item that you clamp on, like the
25g erection gin poles. clamp, lift, detach, repeat
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 pulley
from your drawing on top, yes?
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.

OK, how about basing it on this:

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
