Rohn 55SS040 55G Series 40' Self Supporting Tower Kit

Complete 40-Foot Self-Support Tower Kit for Freestanding Antenna Installations
The Rohn 55SS040 is a 40-foot self-supporting tower system designed for applications that require height without guy wires. This all-inclusive kit includes four 10-foot 55G tower sections, a 5-foot short base for concrete embedment, a top plate, and an anti-climb warning sign for safety compliance. Built for long-term outdoor use, the 55SS040 provides a compact, structurally sound platform for antennas, surveillance cameras, wireless networking gear, and other communications equipment.

Designed for Ground-Based Installs Without Guying Requirements
If your installation site doesn’t allow for guy wire anchoring, or if space is limited, this self-supporting design offers a stable and dependable solution. The SB55G short base is embedded directly into concrete, creating a solid, permanent anchor for the tower. This format is perfect for small lots, rooftops, or regulated zones where traditional guyed towers can't be deployed.

Engineered Steel Structure for Strength and Weather Resistance
Each section of the 55G tower is built from hot-dip galvanized steel, offering excellent protection against corrosion and environmental wear. With 1.5" OD, 11-gauge tubular legs and 7/16" OD solid bracing arranged in a 17-inch equilateral triangle pattern, this tower balances strength with manageable weight. The geometry distributes loads efficiently, making it ideal for installations exposed to moderate wind and weather conditions.

Efficient 40-Foot Height for Mid-Range Antenna Deployment
At 40 feet, this tower provides an optimal elevation for mid-range communication systems, broadcast antennas, rural broadband links, and camera systems. It’s tall enough to clear ground-level obstructions but short enough to be manageable for on-site installation teams without needing heavy lift equipment in many cases.

Double-Bolted Joints for Enhanced Structural Integrity
Rohn’s 55G series uses a proven double-bolted joint method between sections, increasing overall strength and reducing flex under load. This design ensures reliable performance in both static and dynamic conditions and simplifies alignment during the assembly process. Each section ships with all necessary bolts and hardware for fast, secure installation.

Includes Matched Components for Easy Assembly and Long-Term Use
This tower kit includes all necessary components to get your tower standing and operating: four 10-foot tower sections, an SB55G short base, the APL55G top plate, and a visible anti-climb warning sign. Every item is designed to meet structural compatibility requirements and is backed by Rohn’s installation guides and engineering specifications. The kit ships via freight due to the weight and size of the steel components.

Suitable for Wireless ISPs, Two-Way Radio, and Light Industrial Use
Whether you’re deploying a small-scale broadband repeater, setting up a private radio network, or mounting surveillance gear in a remote area, the Rohn 55SS040 delivers height, strength, and a minimal footprint. It’s a smart choice for light-duty communication tasks that demand a rugged, freestanding solution.
