The Great Plains Towers Fold Over Tilt Lattice Tower Kits comes fully welded and assembled for rapid deployment. Maintenance, adjustments, and replacements of the items mounted on the tower/pole can be performed comfortably at a safe working ground level within minutes.
Make your adjustments and return the tower/pole to the full working height easily without ever leaving the ground.
The Great Plains Towers Fold Over Tilt Pole Tower Kits comes fully welded and assembled for rapid deployment. Maintenance, adjustments, and replacements of the items mounted on the tower/pole can be performed comfortably at a safe working ground level within minutes.
The Dakota Towers (non-tapered) freestanding towers are a self-supported tower that are erected using individual Dakota Towers tower sections. Sections are 10 feet long or 20 feet long with 1.5 inch solid rod legs and ⅝ inch solid serpentine bracing. All parts are hot-dip galvanized for many years of maintenance-free service.
The Great Plains Towers Direct Embedment Section (DES) is a simple one piece component which has cost savings benefits.
The DES is by far the most commonly utilized design with the biggest advantage for installing our Dakota SS tower foundation over installing 12 anchor base bolts.
Place the DES (Direct Embedment Section) into the excavated hole along with the rebar & fill the excavation with concrete while following our pre-engineered self-supporting foundation drawing is quick & simple.

Installation Drawing and Parts List
To protect your guyed tower, we recommend an anchor shaft excavation inspection for all guyed towers which are more than a few years old if they have not had a corrosion protection system. (CPS). Since 99% of anchor shaft corrosion & shaft failures normally occurs in the lowest 1′ of the anchor shaft, it is prudent to carefully excavate & inspect the entire length of each anchor shaft. Installing our high quality Cathodic Protection System (CPS) ensures the safety, security & life expectancy to your guy wire tower structures. Our cathodic protection systems have proven they can last over 30 years when used in conjunction with a resilient anchor shaft protective coating.
GUY ANCHOR SHAFTS
- Basic design use installed the base of an anchor shaft in a suitable buried concrete foundation to support the combined tensions of multiple stranded guy wires which in turn supports guy wire type towers.
- Sold in lots of 1 (one) each
OPTIONAL - Reference Half-Cell DT-CPS-RC - $386.10

Dakota Towers - Twin Pipe face mounted microwave dish mounting brackets which all come with the dimensions of 24” tall pipes and 37” wide brackets, in which each bracket has a 5” space between the tower leg and the 2’ tall antenna mounting pipe.
These Propane Tank Valve Ice Protection Shields were designed & manufactured in response to the need for a sturdy protection device to protect the propane tank valves & gas tubing which sustains physical damage plus propane gas leakage loss from damaged propane tanks from the results of ice falling from towers.
The Dakota Towers Lightning rods with their pointed tip may be the lightning strike preferred path to ground down and through the tower instead of the lightning striking ancillary facilities clamped on a structure.
4 stage telescoping masts provides an easy and effective way to quickly raise antennas, lights, MET instruments, cameras and equipment. Antenna loading capacity estimates: 6 sq ft surface area @ full height, 11 sq ft surface area at 75% height, 26 sq ft surface area @ 25% height, 38 sq ft retracted, all at max 15 mph wind. Use 4 guy wires during winds at & above 15 mph with capacity sq ft surface area mast loading.
The Dakota Towers anti-climb panels ensure that unwanted visitors cannot climb your Dakota tower. Each anti-climb panel, are designed for installation on a Dakota Tower free-standing tower section which comes complete with three (3) aluminum panels riveted onto the tower section at our factory to make protecting your investment simple and cost-effective. The smooth surfaces of the aluminum anti-climb panels make it virtually impossible for trespassers to climb the up the panel.
