24m Mobile telescopic lattice tower.

[jacques kotze]

Made this mobile telscopic tower for a mining company in Mpumalanga. It is mobile on a 6m trailer with 6 x outriggers for stability. It takes 6 minutes to setup from start until it is erected to 24m.

NETJIES ontwerp !

Myne wat n open pit het sit dit op die rand van die pit en link hulle radio met die mobiele toring na die kantoor toe bv. Of hulle skyf hom in die aand rond waar hulle werk met spreiligte op. Jy kan hom gebruik as jy by n skou is wat jy vir die skou tydperk dalk cctv kamera's wil opsit of spreiligte in die aand. Die torings wat ek gebou het wat in Namibie staan word gebruik vir tydelike cel torings vir daar waar hulle vir n byeenkoms cell netwerk nodig het vir n naweek of hoe lank ookal.

Working on fire gebruik dit waar daar brande is om tydelike repeaters op te sit om met mekaar te praat met radio's omdat hy so vinnig kan opslaan en afslaan kan hulle hom skyf waar nodig.

Jacques,
Cost estimate for a static (semi-permanent) installation - to be used for security (flood lights) and other (repeater etc) purposes?
Thank you

[BenRich]

Very cool...can I buy one for my business. Couple of staff gonna get "suspended" :evil:

[Thunder02]

Wow great job,I'm sure the radio hams will love that one.

[CasKru]

Wow great job,I'm sure the radio hams will love that one.

We do but I'm guessing my budget won't cover an antenna mast like that although I would love one

[jacques kotze]

How much do you think a unit like this will go for?

Thinking with the trailer and all the material and labour it would be at least R19K

Maybe you could get a club discount,seeing that you are the chairman,maybe a little extra

[CasKru]

R19k like R19 000? :wth:

Yup.... that is a guestimate and not even an educated guestimate.

[jacques kotze]

Yup.... that is a guestimate and not even an educated guestimate.

For R19 000 you will be able to cover the VAT payable on this unit. . . .Sorry for the disappointment. Trailer alone was more than double that.

I'll take five at that price ;)

[ChrisF]

the "material cost" would be substantial.

the "intelectual cost" to get it to this point must be a LOT !!

[Mud Dog]

My rough guestimate for the mast alone (labour / steel / rollers / hot dipping / winch / cable etc.) was about 36k .... looks like even that was a bit low?

[Hoppy]

I gues around R100K

We had similar 30m ones in the army, some silly buggers used to climb them, i didn't even make the halfway mark

Jacques daai trailer is nou baie netjies gedoen.

As ek so vinnig kyk na die winch wat op is, asook die toring en al die dinge sal ek skat daai trailer kos seker so +/- R140000-00. Moet se dit is nogtans baie mooi en impressive om te sien hoe dit gedoen word.

Jy is in die kol, daai was my eerste 24m wat ek gebou het, die ander was 15m vir n maatskappy in Namibie. Ek het die een verkoop vir R100 000excl. Maar ek moet die prys opvat met R40 000/R45 000 om dit vir my die moeite werd te maak.
Die winches wat daar op is, is 13000lbs elk. Die sleepwa het 4 x 15" bande + spaar. Ek gebruik in totaal 8 x outrigger jacks om hom stabiel te hou.
Die as met bushes wat ek laat draai het waar die mas op skarnier as jy hom optel en laat sak was R 5000excl gewees op sy eie. Dan is daar n totaal van 32 pulley's en runners wat gedraai is deur n engineering plek hier by my. Daar is ook 2 x mechanical safety catches op om te keer dat die mas nie inmekaar sak as een van die kabels dalk sal los kom of van die pylley afglei vir watter rede ookal nie. Die skarniere wat ek laat sny het waar die outriggers op skarnier se as is 36mm duk x 400mm lank en die deel wat op die as draai is 86mm buite maat. Dan het ek n limit switch op die mas gesit wat die winch se krag afsny sodra hy op 24m kom sodat jy nie ingedagte die knop inhou en die mas uit mekaar stoot nie. Die galvenizing vir daai mas was amper R6000excl. gewees.
Dan is daar nog n magdom ander goed wat moet bykom om als goed saam te laat werk.


As jy al die goedjies bymekaar tel is die totaal nogal iets wat jou laat skrik.

[CasKru]

Sorry Jacques.. wou jou nie in die gesig gevat het nie. Gelukkig kan ek onnosel pleit aangesien ek in die IT bedryf is

[jacques kotze]

Sorry Jacques.. wou jou nie in die gesig gevat het nie. Gelukkig kan ek onnosel pleit aangesien ek in die IT bedryf is

As jy n mas met dieselfde spesifikasies wil invoer van Amerika gaan hy jou so R1000 000 kos saam import TAX.

vir n oomblik daai een "0" mis ge lees .... !!! BLIKSKOTTEL !!!!!!
