Features:
Durable Foundation Solution for 45G Tower Installations
The Rohn BPH45G Hinged Base Plate is engineered for secure and efficient mounting of Rohn 45G tower sections onto a concrete pier foundation. This base plate allows installers to assemble and rotate the tower from the ground, then tilt it into position, making it a practical and reliable option for amateur radio, broadcast, and communications tower projects. Designed specifically for guyed or bracketed configurations, this plate is an essential anchor point for safe and sturdy tower deployment.
Built for Precision Compatibility with 45G Tower Sections
This base plate is custom-sized for the geometry of Rohn 45G tower legs, ensuring a perfect fit and easy alignment during installation. With a square 24-inch footprint, it provides a strong, balanced foundation to distribute structural loads evenly into the concrete base. The plate features pre-drilled leg connection points and hinge brackets that match up directly with standard 45G leg spacing, eliminating guesswork or on-site modifications.
Hinged Design Simplifies Tilt-Up Installation
The hinged design of the BPH45G makes it possible to pre-assemble the tower horizontally and rotate it into a vertical position using guy wires or a lift assist. This tilt-up capability reduces the need for tower-top work during early stages of the build and limits risk by minimizing how much needs to be done at height. Once in place, the base plate holds the tower securely for long-term use.
Strong Steel Construction with Galvanized Protection
Constructed from heavy-duty steel, the BPH45G base plate is built to support vertical loads while resisting warping or shifting under stress. The hot-dip galvanized finish shields it from rust, corrosion, and environmental damage, making it ideal for permanent outdoor use in a variety of climates.
For Use in Guyed or Bracketed Installations Only
This base plate is not designed for self-supporting towers. It must be used as part of a properly engineered guyed or bracketed system. This ensures stability by distributing lateral forces through tensioned guy wires or structural supports, which are critical in taller or wind-exposed tower environments.
Easy to Anchor with J-Bolts in Concrete Piers
The BPH45G is pre-drilled for six 5/8-inch by 12-inch J-bolts (sold separately), which are embedded in the concrete pier. These bolts secure the base plate and allow the hinge to function during the tower tilt-up process. Refer to engineering specifications for proper installation depth and spacing when embedding bolts.
