Mounting antenna on cell tower

Hanging a 12 port antenna on a 130 foot self support

[@MrOCal]

Those radioheads are way bigger than what I was installing back in 2010. Well done dude! Stay safe up there.

[@nawassamwan4085]

Those are tri band antenna

The older 2G installations around here didn't even have their RRUs installed on the tower itself. They are obviously being phased out now, but since more bands are used often times (here B1+3+7+8+20+28+32), loads of RRUs or multi-band solutions are required.

I appreciate this comment if a lot more of you could see some of the sticky situations we get in with different mounting brackets and what not they could be improved by a lot

[@dougtaylor7724]

I love the safety climbs that are obstructed, the 6 step ladders in mid air and the arrays without any metal to stand on. Just stand on the angle iron. Let an engineer stand on something 3 inches wide for a couple of hours. Tower service people make about 1/2 of what they deserve. These folks are a motivated group for sure.

A cool trick for getting carabiners to the bottom is if you start whipping the rope side to side before letting one go, itll just ride the "waves" safely to the ground.

Who taught you that tying off with a load strap is okay? Your free fall is insane not to mention they’re not rated to shock load. If you do ever fall with that you’re more than likely dead, if not really hurt. I’m also pretty sure they aren’t b30 rated.

[@mikewitdm]

You see all the no no’s too lol ?

[@TrueHelpTV]

ZZz, guess you didn't see the orange band on it that houses all the human rated certificates.

[@Corporal0927]

Actually, along as those things are rated at a breaking strength of around 1500 lbs, which they Most likely are, he's good!

[@codycaudill5086]

@sharonpersinger6162 Absolutely not! A 200lb person falling just 6" will hit with almost 10,000lbs of force. Not to mention load straps are not designed for shock loads only static. Do yourself a favor and just look up a load strap under a shock load.

[@Corporal0927]

@@codycaudill5086 maybe you should do your research. If im 200 lbs and fell 6 ft, are you telling me that If I were to fall on someone from that height, they would die due to the amount of force, let alone what would happen to me!? You are talking out of your ass

[@kkingquad]

How tall is your rooster head from the top of the antenna pipe to tip? We’re getting a lot of sites that are being upgraded and the radio/antenna combo is higher than the top of the tower. We have a rooster head, but I’m afraid it’s still too short.

No string on your tools is dangerous if dropped and someone is at the bottom of the tower (hopefully wearing a helmet) . It can be fatal and very dangerous. And believe me we have all dropped at least a screw nut in our field of work.

It's not a per day. It's a project that can take up between 2 weeks to a month. Depending on the job, site, and carrier. A month for me, is about 6-10 antennas/radios

[@yuraplus3]

@@emart343 Eric, I asked that question to compare the number of installations possible without any means of height access with the numbers of installations possible from a bucket truck. We send our buckets trucks (small ones are 90' feet, larger ones are 120', 150', 175', 230' or even 300', and we rent them with our operator and if needed full traffic management package) to follow a crew of 2 installers - they can install 5-10 antennas per week. Basically your answer means they can have 4-5 times productivity increase. That's good to know. Thanks Eric.

[@szybkidzejkob]

I’m working at ict company, and i can say how it looks by myself, actually I work on Ericsson radios, and Kathrein or Comscope antennas, I do about 4-5 sites per month, every site has 3 antennas, and 4-6 radios:) Working between 20-90 meters, my work is not only to mount the stuff, but also connect all of them.
