US Tower Corp. makes our lattice style, self-supporting towers in several models and three different series:

Our Compact TMM Series
The Standard TX Series
Our Heavy Duty HDX Series

Our compact TMM series were designed to offer an alternative for clients in a restricted areas, where lower nested heights are required. The TMM series has a minimum retracted height of 11' 4" to 12' (may vary, depending upon the rotor used). The maximum height on these towers is 47' including mast. At the tower's retracted height, visual impact is reduced to a minimum and antenna servicing is made easier. Typically, the tower and antenna are below the roof line when the tower is fully retracted.

The TMM series towers are lightweight, freestanding crank up towers that allow up to 50 sq. feet of antenna (depending on tower model) in 50 MPH winds as per the Uniform Building Codes. These lightweight towers should provide many years of trouble free service. All of our towers have a hot dipped galvanized finish, inside and out.

The TMM-433SS and 541SS have a 10" top section which will permit installation of the Yeasue G800 rotor inside the top section. Oversized rotors will prevent full retraction of your tower. All TMM series towers include anchor bolts, rotor plate, hinged T-base, load actuated winch and an eight foot antenna mast (2" OD x .120").

The TMM-433SS will accept the MD-75 motor drive. The TMM-433HD and the TMM-541SS will accept either the MD-75 or the MDP-750 motor drive (the MDP-750 is only available factory installed). The MDP-750 motor drive is compatible with both our MCL-100 and RMC-1000 limit switch packages (see our accessories).

Our standard duty TX series towers are as strong or stronger than most competitors' heavy-duty models. The TX series towers have 21' sections with a 4' overlap to provide extra height and strength. In addition, the overlap helps prevent binding while lowering your tower in high wind conditions.

The TX series towers have a large enough top section (12 1/2") to permit the installation of most rotors inside the section for maximum strength while allowing the section to fully retract. Bracing at critical points on the tower ensures safety and additional strength. All US Tower crank-up towers have a heavy-duty hot dipped galvanized finish, both inside and out, which should provide many years of trouble free service.

The TX series towers come complete with rotor plate and base hardware which includes, steel anchor bolts and a heavy duty steel T-base that allows the tower to hinge on for easy installation. All TX series bases will accept the TRX series raising fixtures for easy one man installation. All TX series towers include Fulton hand winches (except MDP and MDPL models) that feature automatic load actuated brakes for maximum safety. Masts and motor drives are available as accessories (see accessory page).

The TX-472MDP comes complete with the MDP-750 motor drive and limit switch brackets. The TX-489MDPL includes the MDPL-1000 motor drive and limit switch brackets. Limit switch assemblies (MCL-100) and remote raising controls (RMC-1000) are available for all MDP-750 and MDPL-1000 motor drive units (see accessory page for description).

US Tower's TX series requires no guying. The wind loading is calculated at both 50 ad 70 MPH according to UBC code. To assist you in applying for necessary construction permits, the Uniform Building code calculations are available from our office.

US Tower's HDX series heavy-duty telescoping towers have up to 2 1/2 times more wind loading capacity than others commonly advertised. This superior strength allows for large stacked arrays, while using our commercial type bases and anchor bolts that can be easily installed and vertically adjusted. All HDX series T-bases are designed to use our TRX series raising fixtures, which make installations and antenna servicing a one person job.

US Tower carries many different sizes and strengths of masts which can be used with the HDX series towers. The HDX-572MDPL and 589MDPL motorized towers provide dual level wind, positive pull down and heavy-duty gear box features. The HDX-572MDPL comes only with limit switch brackets. The HDX-589MDPL comes complete with the MCL-100 limit switch package. All towers using MDP-750 and MDPL-1000 motor drives may use the RMC-1000 accessory limit switch package which allows the raising and lowering of your tower from the comfort or your ham shack or remote location.

All HDX series towers come complete with rotor plate, anchor bolts and heavy duty T-bases. US Tower's special T-base design allows the tower to hinge for easy installation. None of our lattice style towers require guying. Each tower is individually rated for wind loading at both 50 and 70 MPH according to UBC codes.
