Aluma’s Design Your Own Tower option can provide a customized aluminum tower solution that can be climbed, relocated, and erected by as few as two people within eight hours. Our DYOT tower is ideal for locations where cranes and trucks can’t enter. Designing your own tower enables you to spend more time mission ready and less time, and money, setting it up.
Using modular components:
An Aluma DYOT can be mounted on concrete or skids and erected on-site by as few as two people in about 8 hours (60 ft tower).
Sections are made of 6061-T6 tubular aluminum, which allow for the tower to be built on-site without the need for heavy equipment. DYOT supports up to 1,000 lbs, 60 ft above the base with a 50 sq. ft area. It can withstand winds up to 70 mph unguyed. The tower is climbable and can support a standing platform -with a crane – or it can be configured for a communication array.
A skid system is composed of 4 bolt-on smaller systems. The assembled skid configuration is 20 ft x 14 ft. A minimum of 4 small systems are needed to deploy a DYOT when mounted to a skid system. DYOT requires guying to the skid platform with a total of 4 anchor points with no ground penetration.
The skid uses ballasts (concrete or water tanks) to provide the necessary support for a 60 ft (18 m) tower. A total of 14,940 lbs (6775 kg) of ballast weight is necessary.
