Embodiment Construction

[0045] Before describing in detail the embodiments of the invention shown in the drawings, it should be noted that the upgrades contemplated by the invention need not be complete upgrades as illustrated, and that each upgrade may be based on the increased load carrying capacity to be achieved And in stages. Thus, for example, a small increase in load carrying capacity can be achieved by upgrading only with some additional diagonal struts and possibly some additional horizontal struts, which effectively halve the associated current situation. There are curved lengths for diagonal struts, horizontal struts and outrigger elements.

[0046] On the other hand, it may be necessary to double up some or all of the horizontal struts and some or all of the outrigger elements to increase load carrying capacity even more. Every change and combination of lattice tower components that need to be introduced or upgraded by doubling their construction can be planned in advance using proper de...

Abstract

A lattice tower (1) is provided comprising generally upright leg elements that are arranged in plan view at the corners of a polygon with horizontal struts and diagonal braces interconnecting the leg elements. The lattice tower has a first arrangement of basic leg elements (2), basic horizontal struts (3) and basic diagonal braces (4) providing a first and basic predetermined load carrying capacity of the tower. Selected basic leg elements and / or basic horizontal struts and / or basic diagonal braces are provided with attachment formations whereby additional leg elements (10) and / or additional horizontal struts (7) and / or additional diagonal braces (8) may be secured to the basic leg elements and / or basic horizontal struts and / or basic diagonal braces to provide an increased predetermined load carrying capacity of the lattice tower.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to upgradeable lattice towers of the usual type generally used to support high-level loads, usually in the form of wireless transmission equipment, in particular wireless transmitters and antennas. However, the principles of the invention can also be applied to other lattice towers, eg for supporting water tanks etc., or any other high level loads, and such lattice towers are meant to fall within the scope of the invention. The invention also relates to components of such a lattice tower. [0002] It should be understood that the term lattice tower is used in this specification to mean a tower having a grid frame type structure, which generally includes generally upstanding leg members (which converge at least slightly above generally the lower ) and interconnected horizontal struts and diagonal struts interconnecting the leg elements, wherein the leg elements are generally arranged in plan view at the corners of a polygon ...
