Well, I usually point out the dangers, but these other replies are all over the map and typically misleading. If you
have a 50 foot long clear area, and some competent help, send one person up in the cherry picker. Raise it to about 90%
of max height, and tie a short rope to the tower. Then, jack apart the lowest joint, while keeping the slack out of the
rope. If the bottom section is buried in cement, torch it off at the ground instead. With a little care, there will be
no sudden changes in loading on anything. When the tower is loose, walk the bottom away from the base while the cherry
picker lowers straight down. Then do the remainder of the disassembly at ground level. Be sure the cherry picker is
rated for the load, and the outriggers are properly set.

I have been given a 50 ft Rohn tower (galvanized).

Problem is, I have to get it down. and I have a couple questions.

Weight of each section?

estimate of a resonable charge to have someone do it for me? I don't
like climbing

Is it worth paying 160 bucks to rent a 50 ft cherry picker to do it?


Thanks
