Product Overview
Lattice towers are open-frame steel structures assembled from main legs, bracing members, connection plates, and fasteners. Their open-frame configuration provides high structural capacity while maintaining a relatively low material weight, allowing antennas, microwave equipment, and other loads to be mounted at various elevations.
For project procurement, tower selection cannot be based on height alone. Wind conditions, equipment loading, tower geometry, deflection requirements, foundation conditions, corrosion environments, and applicable structural design standards all dictate the final configuration. We supply project-specific lattice tower structures based on approved engineering requirements, drawings, and loading data.

Main Lattice Tower Types
Self-Supporting Lattice Tower
Self-supporting lattice towers transfer vertical and lateral loads through their own structural frames and foundation systems without relying on guy wires. They are ideal for projects requiring rigid freestanding structures with sufficient ground area for foundations, commonly utilized in cellular communication, wireless broadband, microwave systems, and industrial surveillance networks.
Three-Leg Lattice Tower
Utilizing a triangular plan configuration, three-leg towers provide high structural efficiency while preserving an open frame for equipment mounting and climber access. Member sizes, bracing patterns, and base dimensions are established according to project design loads.
Four-Leg Lattice Tower
Utilizing a square or rectangular plan configuration, four-leg structures offer distinct load distribution and equipment mounting layouts compared to triangular configurations. They are typically selected for projects involving heavier equipment loads, larger working platforms, or specific site and foundation constraints.

Key Selection Factors
When specifying a lattice tower, project loading conditions should take precedence over physical dimensions:
Tower Height
Overall height directly influences wind exposure area, structural member internal forces, antenna mounting elevations, foundation reactions, and transportation/erection requirements.
Wind Load
Wind loading serves as a primary design input, factoring in basic wind speed, exposure categories, terrain conditions, height coefficients, projected areas of the tower and antennas, drag characteristics, and gust response factors.
Antenna and Equipment Loading
Structural capacity depends on comprehensive loading schedules, including antenna dimensions, weights, mounting orientations, microwave dishes, remote radio units (RRUs), cable arrangements, working platforms, and future capacity allowances.
Deflection and Twist Limits
Structural strength must be paired with strict movement limitations to protect communication performance. Project specifications often mandate strict limits on lateral deflection, rotation, and twist for directional and microwave antennas.
Steel Grade and Member Sections
Procurement documentation must clearly identify steel material grades, applicable manufacturing standards, member sections, plate thicknesses, bolt/nut grades, and welding or material traceability requirements.
Corrosion Protection
Outdoor structures require robust defenses against atmospheric moisture and pollutants. Hot-dip galvanizing is standard, with customized protection systems applied for coastal, industrial, or aggressive environments.
Quality Control Points
Dimensional Inspection
Verify member lengths, section dimensions, hole diameters, and hole spacing to ensure smooth on-site assembly.
Connection Inspection
Check bolted connections against approved drawings to ensure proper fastener grades, matching bolts, nuts, and washers.
Galvanization Inspection
Inspect the galvanized coating for visual quality, thickness compliance, and proper repair procedures for any handling damage.
Quantity Reconciliation
Reconcile all components against packing lists and drawings prior to shipment to prevent project delays caused by missing small parts.
