AN Wireless - Self Supporting Wireless Communications Towers

We are proud to be the manufacturers of The AN Wireless "AN Series" Self Supporting Tower...the Communications Tower that is a proven industry workhorse.

This is a totally new tower system, designed for a multitude of commercial, and Amateur Radio needs where a lightweight, and pre-engineered tower is the requirement for installation. Our self supporting tower fits the needs of UHF repeater users and cellular carriers with large antenna loads, to Ham Radio operators who need a tower that can stand up to the torque of large antenna rotators. Our towers are available to withstand severe wind and ice conditions, in 70 MPH to 120 MPH wind exposures.

AN Wireless Towers offer an open lattice modular design, with a full hot dip galvanized finish after fabrication. Bolted construction is used throughout the tower for a couple of good reasons. Mainly this gives the owner the choice of having the tower shipped unassembled (knocked-down) in kit form, and also offers the ability to replace tower components in the field with just a wrench, should a structural member ever become damaged. Shipping in kit form can also save a bit on freight costs to the delivery point.

Maximum design heights reach 120 feet using ten foot tower sections. Tower sections are connected together with 24 bolts per connection, using steel splice plates on both the outside and inside of each leg intersection, forming an extremely strong and positive joint. There is no height lost due to overlapping of sections during assembly, so when you install a 120 foot tower, you get the full 120 feet in the air. 50 KSI steel is used throughout this tower for added strength, over the commonly used 36 KSI material.

A 5 ft. subsurface Foundation Section w/bracing is included with each tower package. As optional equipment we offer industry standard 5/8" x 7" galvanized step bolts which fasten directly to the tower legs with a double nut design. A 3/8" safety wire lifeline system is also available as an option which can be installed on any of our towers within minutes, even after the tower has been installed. We also offer matching full-body harnesses and safety sleeves (ascenders) to use in conjunction with the 3/8" safety lifeline. Sidearms and rotator plates are available as well, along with our rock/rooftop mounting kits, waveguides and ice bridges.

Each of the twelve AN Series tower sections are a different physical size from the next. This offers many height and weight combinations that may be chosen to suit a certain tower's antenna loading, and windloading requirements. With a bit of thought and study of the charts and tables on this website, the perfect tower may be chosen and matched well for your job - not too much tower, and not too little.
