[WIARC] Tower Mast

[Chris Schulz]

Good Morning,

I am in the process of trying to find a mast for a tower project I am working on. On a past tower project I used a schedule 40 1.5” (1.9” OD) galvanized water pipe. Decided to do more looking for this project to acquire something with more strength. Was able to locate schedule 80 (tried 160, but no luck). The schedule 80 is galvanized. I will list the prices I was able to quoted below.

The only small set back is, will have to wait till they make an order with this supplier. They do this in the neighborhood of every 1-2 months. Willing to wait to have something stronger at a reasonable price. DX Engineering is selling their 2” 4340 galvanized mast now for $1200. These are for full length (21’-22’).

So let me know if you are interested in also purchasing something like this for an upcoming project. Work well as a tower mast or a ground mounted mast for a vertical. I will work out something for a trailer to haul them when they come in. The place I use to rent a trailer from does not rent long flat trailers anymore. If you know of a better mast, please let me know.


If there are any questions, feel free to email me at NR9Q at hotmail.com<mailto:NR9Q at hotmail.com>
