Rohn RSB05 RSL Series Short Anchor Base - Section 5

Concrete-Embedded Tower Base for Section 5 Installations
The Rohn RSB05 Short Base is specifically built for tower projects where RSL Section 5 serves as the starting point at ground level. This foundational base section is a pre-fabricated tower component that is embedded directly into a poured concrete footing, giving the tower a permanent and rock-solid anchor. It is ideal for installations requiring long-term reliability and precision during the build phase.

Pre-Assembled Base Section for Simpler Installation
Unlike traditional anchor rod systems, the RSB05 is a pre-welded base section that mimics a shortened tower segment. It ships as a factory-assembled unit, streamlining the site setup and reducing the need for complex on-site alignment. Once in place and level during the pour, it becomes an integral part of the tower’s structure, eliminating the need for post-cure adjustments.

Critical Leveling at the Time of Concrete Pour
This base includes a fixed horizontal brace that aids in keeping the section perfectly level during the pour. However, once the concrete sets, the RSB05 cannot be repositioned. For this reason, extreme care must be taken to ensure the base is installed correctly and perfectly level from the start, as the long-term stability of the tower depends on this crucial step.

Designed for Rohn RSL Section 5 Compatibility
The RSB05 is precision-matched for RSL Series towers where the fifth section is designated to begin at the base. This compatibility ensures a seamless connection between base and upper tower segments using standard lap splice connections. Its geometry and bracing are engineered to integrate with Rohn’s system of modular tower segments.

Galvanized Steel for Long-Term Durability
Made from hot-dip galvanized steel, the RSB05 is corrosion-resistant and built for long-term use in demanding outdoor conditions. Whether you're installing in a coastal, urban, or rural environment, this short base section is engineered to resist the elements and provide years of stable service.

Meets Structural and Safety Engineering Standards
Rohn has built its reputation on tower infrastructure that meets or exceeds industry guidelines. The RSB05 base section is no exception, offering quality and performance consistent with the standards required for telecom, broadband, public safety, and monitoring applications.
