can i make a 30m lattice tower by my self?

[FOXRUBEN]

Hello,masters, at present, i want to make a lattice tower,30meter, guyed, because in the market there is all big and fixed to the ground, i have the idea of portable and easy to transport, hand crank erect. is anyone have the experiences or saw this kind of mast before?Thaank youu!

There are plenty of portable crank-up/tilt over towers out there. Just Google it. The price is pretty steep however. May I suggest that if you even have to question if you can build such a tower then you should not even attempt it. This is not something for someone to "see if he can build it" and there are so many things that can go wrong starting with material selection and ending with failed winches and improperly sized trailer to mount and transport it on. On top of all that 100 feet is a major undertaking even for an experienced welder and someone with tower building experience. For true portability something in the order of 50-70 feet, tilt over, freestanding and mounted on a trailer platform with outriggers is the way to go.

nice idea,thank you very much for your video, but I think this is a little heavy and not too high

30Ft is not too high, it is easy to make

If you have all of the details figured out, it should be easy. Just keep in mind the liability of having a homemade tower possibly fall and kill someone.

Are you wanting to market this, or just a project for personal use? I only ask because I have thought about building a 60 to 80 foot Tower I could raise from my truck bed. I just haven't thought of any great ideas yet, or found cheap materials.

It is a house? control room?

at present i need to it used for my own, because the market only has pneumatic pole, it is easy, but cost much,

Perhaps I should have said "Out Building" instead of "out house". There is a steak restaurant that I call Out House. I'm old and brain damaged and that's all I can say about that.
