Here you can see the safety latch that is spring-loaded, you are supplied with 100' of Kevlar laced string which attaches to the S-hook so you can deactivate the latch when you need to crank the tower down.

The next picture is a close-up of the roller system that allows the hazer to slide up and down the tower without the fear of it catch on a sectional bolt-head. This is an option but I would not want to trust the hazer sliding metal against metal and the chance it could get hung-up when fully extended.

Next we have the rotor shelf which is similar to a rotor plate that would fit inside of a Rohn 25G tower. Above this shelf is a similar plate that is drilled to accept a Yaseu Thrust bearing.

Here you can see the entire hazer and the rotor shelf and thrust bearing shelf. Since it is make of 100% aluminum it is light weight and easy to handle but it does take some time to assemble since there are 92 bolts to put in place and tighten up. A drill or impact drill makes things go a lot faster.


If you plan on ever buying one of these bookmark this link because the Glen martin instruction are nothing short of awful. My Hazer Building Experience
 

I have a universal tower and the tower has one long bolt that runs vertically on each leg to bolt and hold together instead of like rohn that has to small bolts that run horizontal in each leg to the outer eyes that the bolt goes through on Universal tower would not allow a hazer to roll up or down or Ide have a hazer forsure ;)
