ROHN
Made in the USA!
The ROHN BPL45GSR Thrust Bearing Top Cap Plate bolts onto the top of any Standard ROHN 45GSR Main Tower section and can provide extra clearance for installation of equipment such as Rotors on an Accessory Shelf mounted on a section below. The BPL45GSR is pre-drilled to accept mounting for the ROHN Thrust Bearing TB3 (2" ID) or TB4 (3" ID) and also provides Down Guy Attachment to this very same plate via Shackles and Thimbles.(Not Included)
When considering use of this ROHN BPL45GSR Top Bearing Plate for a ROHN 45GSR Tower, refer in comparison to the ROHN 45AGSR4 Top Cap Section (if it existed!). This BPL45GSR Plate by itself is UPS shippable and hence, considerably cheaper to ship. This is advantageous to consider when changing out the Top Cap Tower Section of an existing ROHN 45GSR Tower, because in addition, this Plate is lighter and can be hand carried. It is pre-drilled to accept the ROHN TB3 and TB4 Bearings, and incorporates "ears" for Guy wire attachment.
Since there are various other Manufacturers of Towers and Tower accessories that copy the ROHN Tower design, if you are not sure of the manufacturer of your Tower, you can at least compare the actual measurements and design of yours to those found in the spec. sheets in the ROHN catalog section via the Link provided above to assure yourself that additional sections or parts will fit. We cannot make that determination for you as the ROHN clones are something we don't carry or otherwise represent in our Product line. All towers in the GT Series are constructed with high strength steel tubing and feature ROHN's exclusive Zig-Zag ® solid rod bracing to provide exceptional strength. All GT Series Towers are hot dip galvanized after fabrication. In this process, each section of the tower is totally immersed in molten zinc, allowing every square inch of the tower, inside and out, to be completely covered. Hot dip galvanizing protects all points of welding and construction against rust and corrosion while providing an attractive finish.
The 45GSR is a true multi-use structure that provides excellent strength for applications up to 340´. It´s offered with solid steel rod legs to satisfy a wide variety of needs under varied conditions. When properly installed, the standard tower will support the loads shown on various guyed and self-supporting information sheets in the ROHN catalog.
Most Restrictions Allow for 45 feet of Height without the Necessity of Guy Wires, Anchors or Braces. However, No Tower is self supporting during construction! Always use temporary guys on the top most section, and install permanent guy wires as soon as a guy point height is reached.
