A portable telescoping tower assembly, which comprises:
- a trailer;
- a tower having a plurality of telescoping sections that extend for use and retract and nest for storage and transportation;
- at least one cylindrical ram to move said tower between horizontal and vertical positions;
- a motor to extend and retract said plurality of sections;
- and
- each of said sections including a plurality of external edges, each of said external edges including at least one protruding guide to mate with and receive an adjoining section, wherein each said guide is fabricated from a pair of plastic panels, each said panel having a beveled edge so that said pair of plastic panels together form a groove to mate with said adjoining section.
A portable telescoping tower assembly which comprises:
- a tower, said tower having a plurality of telescoping sections that extend for use and retract and nest together for storage and transportation;
- a pair of hydraulic cylindrical rams to move said tower between horizontal and vertical positions;
- an electric motor and a winch to extend and retract said plurality of sections;
- and
- each of said sections including three tubular rails having external edges, with each of said rail external edges including at least one protruding guide to mate with and receive one of said tubular rails from an adjoining section, wherein each said guide is fabricated from a pair of plastic panels, each said panel having a beveled edge so that said pair of plastic panels together form a groove to mate with said adjoining section.
