Try this link http://www.alumatower.com/ but be prepared to pay around 3,000 to 5,000 dollars for the complete set up!! |

In other discussions here at COPPER it was said that a 40 foot entendable mast sold at LOWES for about $40. But 50 feet is really pretty high for anything push-up.

Rattlesnakejake, look around your neighborhood. Sometimes you will find towers being unused and if you talk to the owners, they will let you have it for taking it down. |

Rattlesanke, I have a neighbor who has a 60' tower not being used and he said I could have it if I take it down. It has a commercial ant and a tv ant on it. The previous owner left it when he moved. |

Alumina tower, if I'm not mistaken, are aluminum and are expensive. Nothing wrong with US Towers Gal. Steel towers at all and are in the $1500-2000 for a heavy duty 55 ft. All depends what you want, but you need to think out "what" you're going to put on it and how high for starters.

Kirk The reason I recomended alumatower is because he was asking for a "PUSH UP TOWER". |

I guess I would have to ask what he meant by "push up?" Crank-up? That's what I took it as. If so, that's why I suggested an alternative of US tower [for one]. Aluminum (given the obvious advantages) are major costly (as you state)compaired to gal. steel. Not much available in a "telescoping" tower that would handle a windload and remain in the air at 50 ft. |
