Abstract
A tower section is for a truss tower. The tower section has three or more elongated corner beams arranged in parallel and spaced apart, and a plurality of transverse beams connected perpendicular to adjacent corner beams, thereby forming respective three or more sides. The transverse beams are distributed along the sides so that the transverse beams of one of the side are arranged offset to the transverse beams of the other sides.

A tower section for a truss tower, the tower section comprising:
- three or more elongated corner beams arranged in parallel and spaced apart, and
- a plurality of transverse beams connected perpendicularly to adjacent corner beams in the three or more elongated corner beams, thereby forming respective three or more sides, the plurality of transverse beams being distributed equidistantly along the three or more sides and so that the transverse beams on at least one of the three or more sides are arranged at an equidistant offset relative to the transverse beams on of the other remaining sides of the three or more sides,
- wherein the equidistant offset is configured to enable a person climbing the tower section,
- wherein each of the three or more elongated corner beams comprises a closed tubular profile having fins attached to the plurality of transverse beams, and
- wherein the three or more elongated corner beams and the plurality of transverse beams are configured to support the person climbing the tower section.
A truss tower assembly for holding one or more transmission cables, wherein the truss tower assembly comprises a first truss tower and a second truss tower, each the first and second truss towers comprising a tower section, wherein the tower section comprising:
- three or more elongated corner beams arranged in parallel and spaced apart, and
- a plurality of transverse beams connected perpendicularly to adjacent corner beams in the three or more elongated corner beams, thereby forming respective three or more sides, the plurality of transverse beams being equidistantly distributed along the three or more sides and so that the transverse beams on at least one of the three or more sides are arranged at an equidistant offset relative to the transverse beams on the remaining sides of the three or more sides,
- wherein the equidistant offset is configured to enable a person climbing the truss tower assembly,
- wherein each of the three or more elongated corner beams comprises a closed tubular profile having fins attached to the plurality of transverse beams,
- wherein the three or more elongated corner beams and the plurality of transverse beams are configured to support the person climbing the truss tower assembly, and
- wherein the first truss tower and the second truss tower are configured to be supported spaced apart on a bearing surface,
- the truss tower assembly further comprising a transverse bar arranged between an end portion of the first truss tower and an end portion of the second truss tower.
