The 2" pipe on the sides of the tower under the tool box are for outriggers rails and are used for weather proof storage compartments.

The tool box is for outrigger jacks, rope, inverted V antenna, tools, and blocks for cribbing the outriggers jacks.

NBARC has purchase a new generator for its tower trailer.

NBARC would like to thank Gary Hayward KJ4BOJ for his donation towards the purchase of a Sears Craftsman 3600 watt generator power by a 7 HP Briggs and Stratton.

The generator is mounted with a locking bar for security and can be easy removed from the trailer for storage in minutes.

The Generator is quite and starts with ease of one pull. This generator will be use with the club's snow cone and pop corn machine at fund raisers.

This design is after a commercial built tower trailer, design by Bob, N6USP. It's a much safer tower trailer than a 55 ft crank up tower. Commercial crank up tower trailers are nice and compact, folds over like ours, but it is dangerous to the operator, if he lets it get away form him when he is cranking it down, he can suffer serious injuries. We can loan this one out and not worry about someone getting hurt.
