Hello everyone. How does one go about identifying the manufacturer and type of tower ?? Ex...how can you tell if it is a Rohn, or other manufacturer ?? How can you tell if it is 25g, 45g, 55g ?? .......... Thanks... Dennis

Probably best by just being familiar sortof like how do you know that car is a Ford, Dodge Chebby.

Array Solutions has good towers These are easily spotted by the owner walking with a limp after the walletectomy.

Seriously though they make/offer great products but tend to be a bit more on the spendier side. But for towers, you get what you pay for as in everything else but if your tower collapses the consequences are a tad more extreme.

One of the Rohn distributors Rohn towers are easily decernable by the amount of spiderwebbing holding it up. If it's being held up by a building it's more than likely a 20, a lot of wires a 25, several wires, many wires, a couple of wires, no wires etc. etc. etc.

There is also Universal tower which makes a angle iron type tower that strongly resembles an Erector Set.

Each tower generally has a standout design or appearance trait that makes them unique. This will just come after time of staring at them. I've been doing a lot of staring lately.

I'm kind of partial to this one.
