RTL Heavy Tower Kits

*Redesign Improvement from Legacy "RT" to New "RTL" Towers*

The "RT" Series Tower Sections had cross bracing segments that spanned from one Tower Section to the next.
The "RTL" Series Towers Sections feature cross bracing that starts,stops and is totally contained within the same Tower section; making it easier to assemble a complete tower section on the ground for lifting and easier attachment/fitting to the next Tower Section during erection.

Ordering Notes

Things to keep in mind when ordering a Rohn RT Tower Kit:

Items That ARE Included

1. Step bolts on ONE TOWER LEG are provided for the full height of the tower.
2. The RTL Tower kits are supplied with pal nuts as nut-locking devices. Alternative nut-locking devices can be substituted by indicating the type you would like in the order notes when checking out. The available nut-locking devices are: Split-Ring Lock Washers, Anco Nuts and Tri-Loc Nuts.

Optional Items That ARE NOT Included

1. Anchor rod kits. For your convenience, Anchor Rod kits appear as optional selections provided to you when adding a tower kit to your cart. Options include a full tower base template with anchor rod clusters or an anchor rod cluster kit that includes the anchor rods and a top and bottom template for each tower leg.

4. Contact us if you require any assistance in determining the adequacy of a specific RTL tower kit for site-specific applications.

Design Notes

1. The ROHN Standard Light, Medium and Heavy Series RTL towers are based on the wind, ice and earthquake requirements of the ANSI/TIA/222-H Standard.
2. The suitability of a ROHN standard RTL tower kit and standard foundation for a specific application must be verified by the purchaser based on site-specific data in accordance with the ANSI/TIA-222-H Standard. All users are solely responsible for the installation, use, maintenance, inspection and other work and the compliance with all local, state and federal requirements.
3. The allowable Effective Projected Areas (EPA) tabulated represent the summation of the projected areas of all antennas, mounts, and accessories multiplied by appropriate drag factors and are assumed to be symmetrically mounted on the tower. Eccentric loading may increase member forces and may require a reduction of the tabulated EPA values.
4. The tabulated EPA values apply to towers installed at ground level. Lower EPA values than tabulated may apply for roof mounted towers or for towers located on sites with unusual terrain.
5. The EPA values are determined for ANSI/TIA-222 Topographic 1 tower site conditions (no abrupt changes in general topography) surrounded by Exposure C terrain (open unobstructed areas). For the Light Series towers, higher EPA values are provided for tower sites surrounded by Exposure B terrain (urban, suburban or wooded areas). Lower EPA values would apply for tower sites exposed to Exposure D terrain (open water or smooth unobstructed areas).
