Rohn RTP08 Top Plate Kit

Top Plate Kit for Securing the Final Stage of Your RSL Tower
The Rohn RTP08 is a dedicated top plate kit designed for use with Section 8 of the Rohn RSL self-supporting tower series. This precision-formed plate is built to mount securely to the top closing angles of the tower, providing a stable foundation for thrust bearings and mast assemblies. Whether you're completing a new tower build or retrofitting an existing one for mast rotation, the RTP08 is essential for structural stability and hardware compatibility at the tower’s highest point.

Supports Thrust Bearings for Rotator-Based Antenna Systems
Featuring a pre-cut hole pattern designed to fit Rohn TB3 and TB4 thrust bearings, the RTP08 allows you to easily integrate mast rotators and load-bearing support systems. This setup is ideal for communication towers where directional antennas or rotating arrays are in use, such as amateur radio, E911, microwave backhaul, or wireless broadband systems.

Engineered to Strengthen Top-Side Tower Assembly
The RTP08 reinforces the tower's uppermost point by distributing mechanical loads across the top angles. This structural integration reduces stress on rotating components and improves mast alignment, extending the life of both the thrust bearing and associated hardware. It is an essential part of maintaining mechanical balance and minimizing vibration in tall towers.

Built for Harsh Outdoor Installations and Long-Term Use
Constructed from rugged, galvanized steel, the RTP08 top plate is made to resist corrosion, temperature fluctuation, and UV exposure. This makes it suitable for installations in virtually any climate—rural, coastal, or urban. Its reliable build ensures consistent tower-top performance year after year, even in high-wind or high-load environments.

Quick Installation with Hardware Included
The Rohn RTP08 includes all the hardware needed to attach the top plate directly to the tower’s closing angles. With pre-aligned mounting points and a clean fit, installers can secure the plate quickly without custom drilling or cutting. This minimizes install time while maximizing structural integrity.

Designed for Professional and Amateur Communication Towers
Whether you're operating a commercial tower for public safety communications or installing a high-performance amateur radio array, the RTP08 provides the necessary support and compatibility. Its standardized bolt pattern and thrust bearing compatibility make it a preferred solution for those working with rotating mast systems on RSL towers.
