TOWER ASSEMBLY WITH BALLAST RECEIVING BASE
A support tower, for example for supporting telecommunications equipment thereon, is mounted on a tower base having radially projecting frame members and ballast receptacles at the outer ends of each frame member to receive ballast material to support the tower in a foundationless manner on a ground surface. A coupler is provided for supporting the support tower relative to the radial frame members of the base such that the support tower is pivotal about a horizontal axis between an assembly position along the ground and a raised position. Lifting equipment can thus be connected directly between the support tower and the tower base without the need for auxiliary lifting equipment such as a crane or boom truck, for raising of the tower on site in a low cost manner.
