8 ft BOOM BEING ATTACHED TO THE 9FT MAST


The 8ft long Lightning Bolt heavy duty boom was attached to the 9ft mast while the 27ft Glen Martin roof tower was only 5 feet off the deck. After the LB boom was secured to the mast, it was tipped up high enough to allow one spreader to be attached while standing on a 12ft heavy duty ladder. After the first spreader was attached, the tower was raised high enough to allow the rotator to be rotated 180 degs. Then the tower was lowered to again allow the other spreader to be attached. this method of assembly was used in order to allow the entire assembly at ground level. No climbing was necessary. I had attached a chain hoist to a support pole in order to allow the tower to be raised or lowered easily.
