Super 60m XHD TallTower™

The Super 60m XHD TallTower is a highly versatile meteorological tower designed specifically for wind resource assessment.

Details

Built to withstand heavy ice and wind loads, the Super 60 features bolted joints, a larger base-plate, and thicker gauge tube than the standard 60m XHD TallTower™. Because it is based on the same design elements as our 80m XHD TallTower™, the Super 60 can be converted to an 80 meter tower by purchasing an optional 20 meter section if and when higher measurements are required. The Super 60 also meets applicable sections of the ANSI-TIA-222-G.

FAA-compliant industrial paint, guy guards, marker balls, and obstruction lighting and monitoring systems are available to ensure that your tower complies with visibility requirements. Please review your local regulations and contact our sales team to discuss which option would be best for your location.

Installation tools (listed under "Accessories") are sold separately and required for installation.

Benefits

Strong steel tube construction
Bolted tube section joints for even greater load-bearing capacity
Compact Envirocrate™ packaging for ease of transport and assembly with minimal waste on site
Reinforced steel base plate—no concrete foundation required
FAA-compliant industrial paint and obstruction lighting options offered

Our Customers

"For our harsh winter sites, the Super 60m XHD TallTower has proven to be the best tubular solution. This latest tower design from NRG Systems delivers a very good improvement in strength while maintaining the benefits of their tubular towers: economical, easy-to-install, and readily available."
