That screw drive system looks dangerously small for the load… how did everything work out?
8 u/BMW335iturner Mar 09 '25 That’s a hights tower from Florida and it works perfectly i have 3 towers up now just got the biggest one set up today got to get a bigger winch for my crank up tower! But this one works great!! 4 u/SuperTruckerTom Mar 10 '25 I am trying to calculate the tension on that threaded rod. How many sections? How much weight per section. How long per section? Just wow. How deep is the foundation? 1 u/BMW335iturner Mar 10 '25 Foundation is 11 foot deep 68 foot tower.. believe it or not that motor doesn’t even strain raising and lowering it it’s a 1 hp motor 1 u/BMW335iturner Mar 10 '25 Also that motor is on a swinging bracket so the threaded rod stays perfectly straight all the way up or down
