Hoist pole for the coolest CB tower/antenna set up I’ve ever seen.
This was one of those projects that makes me really appreciate getting to meet and work for some really great people.
The tower hinges at the base so you can raise and lower the tower as needed. Obviously with the extreme length and weight of this tower, it’s just about impossible to raise and lower it by hand. So what we did was, get a long stick of 4”x1/4” square tubing, weld a pulley and a couple eye bolts up top as well as a winch plate at the base. We dug a hole, set the base of the pole 4 feet in the ground and filled it with cement. With the leverage point being over 20 feet off the ground this allows for easy and effortless raising and lowering of the CB tower.
You know it was a good job when the only difficult part of the job is material handling!
