Why We Didn’t Use a Gin Pole — And Cut the Tower Instead. We were recently called in to take down two 40’ Rohn 25 towers that were house-bracketed. The client had an old, custom-fabricated gin pole on hand—but after inspecting it, we realized it would take twice as long to rig and derig for each section compared to a simpler method. I explained the situation to the client and let them know the time and labor tradeoff. In the end, we agreed to cut each section in half and lower them safely using

Would you have used the gin pole here—or gone the route we did? We were brought in to remove two 40’ house-bracketed Rohn 25 towers. The client had an old gin pole on hand, but after inspecting it, I realized it would slow us down big time. I laid out the pros and cons, and we agreed to cut the tower in half and lower it safely with ropes. Less gear, fewer rigging cycles, and it saved time and manpower. Sometimes, the best solution isn’t the one that looks the most professional — it’s the one th

Another view of installing a mast on a rotating tower. We hoisted the mast with the gin pole and carefully lowered it into the thrust bearing. To prevent top-heavy equipment from flipping in the air, we use a custom-built tool that mounts to the top of the gin pole — it’s a hoop made from 3/16” EHS guy wire designed to cradle long masts or 23’ omnidirectional antennas. Once the tip of the mast is guided into the hoop, we release the straps securing the winch line along the length of the work — k

No gin pole? No problem. We flew 1,500 miles for this job and couldn’t bring our gin pole with us on the flight. Instead of renting a $5,000 crane, we safely cut and lowered both 40’ Rohn 25 towers the old-school way—with precision and a plan. 💪⚙️Client was thrilled and had money left over for a steak dinner that night 🍽️ #VCTowers #HamRadio247 #TowerClimbing #Rohn25 #Decommissioning #BlueCollarLife #HardWorkPaysOff #TowerWork #ManualLabor #AntennaTakedown #NoGinPole #TradesmanPride #WorkGear
