Mobile tower system

A mobile tower system comprising:

• a steel shipping container including:
• a front wall opposite a back wall, and
• a roof extending between the front wall and the back wall, the roof having an opening disposed in the roof proximate the back wall,
• a tower structure having an upper portion and a lower portion, the tower structure moveable between a substantially horizontal travel position and a substantially vertical operational position,
• a roller rotatably coupled to a pin, the pin fixed to the lower portion of the tower structure and the roller moveably coupled to a channel, the channel disposed in a horizontal member of a horizontal frame removeably attached to a top portion of a vertical frame, the vertical frame including:
• a first portion fixed to the back wall of the shipping container, and
• a second portion fixed to the first portion, the second portion being formed of a structurally continuous unit of sheet metal such that the second portion is defined by a first protrusion connected in parallel to a second protrusion,
• wherein when in the substantially horizontal travel position, the horizontal frame receives the lower portion of the tower structure and supports the tower structure in the substantially horizontal travel position proximate to the opening disposed in the roof proximate the back wall of the steel shipping container;
• wherein when the tower structure is displaced from the substantially horizontal travel position to the substantially vertical operational position, the roller and the tower structure are linearly displaced together along the channel toward the back wall and the tower structure is pivotably displaced about the roller, such that the upper portion of the tower structure is displaced through the opening disposed in the roof proximate the back wall of the steel shipping container;
• and
• wherein when the tower structure is positioned in the substantially vertical operational position, the lower portion of the tower structure is positioned in the second portion of the vertical frame between the first protrusion and the second protrusion.
