Steel tapered monopoles are designed to carry wireless and microwave communication equipment, constructed of slip-sleeve tapered sections, and made of high-strength steel with minimum yield strength of 65 ksi. Each order includes steel templates to assure proper base bolt alignment.

Monopole vs. lattice tower comparison

Here are some general guidelines [3] for deciding which tower type has the advantage to be selected based on the presented case in this paper where the specified aspects are the Aesthetical, Economical and Statical. Based on each alternative specification would be easier to make a decision concerning the best choice which meets the requirements.

Self–supporting lattice Tower:

1. Can be used for installations from 6 to 60 m.

2. Smaller installation footprint than a guyed tower, but larger than a self–supporting guyed and monopole towers.

3. Often ships knocked down, reducing freight expenses but requiring on–site assembly, Figure 1.

4. Significant wind–loading capacity.

5. The Lightweight Self–Supporting Tower is Ideal for requirements under 30 m with minimal wind–loading capacity and some options use a minimal installation footprint with simple concrete foundation.
