Tilt Plate

I first saw this idea on a web page owned by NN4ZZ note: NN4ZZ sold this business in 2020*.

Shipping and customs would probably double the price of one - so I set about to make one locally.

This is what the final output gives you.

You can see the tower on the right-hand-side, the tower is sitting on a steel 4 ft high bench.

Here I can adjust/alter, check all items from the antenna, coax, thrust-bearing and rotator from the ground.

Closer view

Same day. -just a different angle.

The base model

This is when I was trying to prototype this

How to lower the tower

Using the derrick, with an off-road 4WD winch. Some care is needed with this.
