From then until the 80's, while his general manager and partner were
running the business, not many changes were introduced to the line, although
the towers were still in steady demand. In 1987, Drake Jr. began to
manufacture the towers. Soon, it became apparent that our products might
benefit from a few changes here and there. In the late eighties, Drake
(Jr.) focused on redesigning rebuilding some fixturing and jigs. This
reconstruction allowed for some radical new design changes in the early 90's
which made our tower lines more flexible and stronger than ever before.
Over recent years, we have tuned up and redesigned many of the mechanical
components or our Crank-Up telescoping systems, as well as our
Fold-Over-Kits.
We continue our never-ending search for improvements that will add
long-term value for our customers, and we would like to think we are known
by our customers as primarily concerned with high quality, a topic we always
leave open for dialogue. Our greatest feeling of accomplishment is in
selling a customer a well-designed, well-made product, which, barring
bizarre phenomenon of nature, we know will stand the test of time.
Our Claims - Today, our towers lead the pack among
self-supporting brands in strength, value and ease of installation. Anyone
who is interested in owning real quality, ought to seriously and carefully
consider our towers. Consider our engineering. Really compare the
standards we use to those of the competition. What are they selling you?
Does the product really comply with standard building codes like the
UBC-97? What wind-speed is it rated at? These are important questions,
that the buyer should investigate closely. A lot of companies make grand
marketing claims and some exaggerate. Get the facts-- IT'S IN THE
ENGINEERING DOCUMENTS!
In addition to our published
Engineering Specs online, we will provide any serious customer with
exact-configuration tower calculations. We are just a phone call or email
away.
Past Customers - Following is a partial list of a few of the
customers we have had in the past 12 years only. We can provide further
contact information for those interested:
