I am selling my Hazer-4 antenna lift for use on Rohn-25 tower.

Martin Hazer Systems - Antenna Parts Outlet
This now NLA from Glenn Martin so may become somewhat rare to find.
Here is itemized list and costs when I bought it new:
Hazer-4 ... $600.00
Pulley (for tower top) ...$85*
Winch ... $110.00
Bearing ... $105.00

Hazer-4 is rated for 200-lb. dead weight and 16-sq foot wind area at 87 mph.

I'm selling the package without pulley* for $350 (plus shipping)
* its still at 50-foot on my tower which is
leaning ten degrees out of plumb (not
climbable). You can get one for about $25 at a hardware store.
Also the rotor plate was modified for a
Alpha-Spid RAK rotor so one might want to replace
it (cost $40). Also easy enough to make from 1/4-inch aluminum plate.
1/8-inch wire rope NOT included. I ran about
100-foot on my 50-foot tower. Can be gotten from
the above link but likely cheaper from local hardware.
My winch cable failed in high winds allowing the
Hazer to free-fall to ground level. I had guy
wires tied to the Hazer which high wind stressed
winch cable beyond breaking. My upper guys tied
to the tower were slack which is condition needed
for rotating my eme array without
interference. With upper guys tensioned tower
would not have bent or Hazer cable snapped.
Hazer weighs 49-lbs. without weight of
accessories. Probably ship in two boxes; one
long box to ship Hazer and other flat-rate box
for misc hdwr, winch, rollers, bearing and rotator shelves.
more pictures of the Hazer on ground after removal from tower will be taken.
