ROHN RTL 160 Foot Light Duty Tower Kit

*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.

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).
