>> Hello list,
>>
>>
>>
>> Has anyone on the list looked into Luso towers when shopping for
>> a new one?
>> For those that aren't aware of Luso, it is a Japanese tower
>> builder of heavy
>> duty electrically operated crankup towers in heights from 90 feet
>> to over
>> 300 feet. They accommodate antenna, rotor, and mast weight of up
>> to 2200
>> pounds. The 150 foot model is rated to accommodate 140 square
>> foot of
>> antenna, and goes from a fully retracted height of 42 feet to a
>> fully
>> extended height of 145 feet in 29 seconds. Masts of up to 8.6
>> inch
>> diameters are accommodated with multiple thrust bearings. Each
>> model is
>> available with a number of options, including a rotating base,
>> and automatic
>> retraction when winds exceed a preset level. The 150 foot model
>> weighs
>> 29700 pounds excluding options.
>>
>>
>>
>> A friend just took delivery of the 90 foot model with the
>> rotating base and
>> automatic retraction system. Because of my recent good news on
>> the health
>> front, I am seriously thinking of ordering the 120 foot tower
>> with the
>> rotating base, automatic retraction, 4 inch mast with thrust
>> bearings, and a
>> prop pitch rotor with Green Heron controller.
>>
>>
>>
>> If anyone has investigated the Luso offerings, I'd appreciate
>> discussing
>> them with you.
>>
>>
>>
>> Merry Christmas everyone, and a very happy New Year.
