Complete 50-Foot Self-Supporting Tower System for Permanent Installations
The Rohn 65SS050 is a 50-foot self-support tower kit built with Rohn’s 65G series components, offering a dependable, freestanding structure for mounting antennas, communications gear, and surveillance hardware. Designed for applications where guy wires are not feasible, this system is ideal for use in commercial, municipal, utility, and wireless service environments. It provides the structural strength needed to handle moderate to heavy loads while occupying minimal ground space.
Built Using Heavy-Duty Galvanized Steel for Long-Term Durability
The tower is constructed from Rohn 65G tubular sections, featuring 1.9" outside diameter pipe legs and continuous 3/8" solid rod bracing in a zig-zag configuration. Each component is hot-dip galvanized for superior corrosion resistance, ensuring years of performance in harsh outdoor conditions. The rugged frame is engineered to handle real-world demands in wind-prone or high-moisture environments, making it an ideal solution for both rural and urban tower installations.
Freestanding Tower Design Eliminates the Need for Guy Wires
This self-support configuration allows the tower to be installed without requiring additional guy anchors or large land footprints. It uses a fixed base—specifically the R-SB65G short base section—which is embedded in a concrete foundation according to Rohn engineering specifications. This not only makes for a cleaner installation, but also allows placement in tight spaces such as fenced lots, rooftops, or communication centers where land is limited.
Rated for Multiple EPA Configurations at Varying Wind Speeds
The Rohn 65SS050 is designed to support antennas with EPA (Effective Projected Area) ratings under different wind load scenarios. It can accommodate up to 28 square feet of antenna surface area at 70 MPH, 17 square feet at 80 MPH, and 10 square feet at 90 MPH, all with no ice loading. This flexibility makes the system suitable for a wide range of project types and regional wind zone requirements.
Ideal for Telecom, Public Safety, Broadband, and Surveillance Applications
The 65SS050 is widely used across industries that require elevated, stable platforms for critical equipment. Whether you're deploying wireless internet systems, public safety radios, broadcast antennas, or camera surveillance networks, this 50-foot tower delivers strength, simplicity, and peace of mind. It’s trusted by professionals who value easy integration, minimal maintenance, and long-term structural integrity.
Supplied With Structural Components for Complete Tower Assembly
This kit includes all the tower sections and structural components needed for building a 50-foot self-supporting tower, excluding foundation materials and installation labor. Every piece is pre-selected to match Rohn’s engineering guidelines, ensuring compatibility and performance. For grounding, wind loading, and ice considerations, consult Rohn’s 65G series documentation for full system design support.
