Re: US TOWER TIP OVER

W4ABC - Jon Pearl
 

Hi John.

I have a UST TX-455 and use the D-L WG2000 Worm Gear Winch with Hex Drive for folding over the tower: https://www.dutton-lainson.com/proddetail.php?prod=11001

Granger lists a 3000# Worm Drive Winch (no hex drive): https://www.grainger.com/product/DAYTON-9-1-16-inH-Pulling-Hand-Winch-12U381

I also would prefer something with more margin.

At the moment, the lowering fixture has a Fulton K2550 brake winch, which I had the manufacturer upgrade from the standard K1500.

I think the 2000 pound worm winch will be OK. Possibly I might double line it with a block on the tower side. (Going to need more wire rope, though.)
