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

 
 
01
 

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.

 
02
 

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.

 
03
 

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.

 

 

FAQ

 

 

Q: What is a lattice tower used for?

A: Lattice towers are widely deployed in telecommunications, wireless communication, microwave links, broadcasting, security surveillance, and other industrial infrastructure applications requiring elevated equipment.

Q: Is a lattice tower self-supporting?

A: Yes. Self-supporting lattice towers do not require guy wires; their rigid steel frames and foundations are engineered to independently resist all vertical and lateral loads.

Q: How do I choose the correct tower height?

A: Height should be derived from antenna elevation targets, network coverage objectives, local terrain, and structural design codes, rather than selected by height alone.

Q: What information is required to request a quotation (RFQ)?

A: Essential details include the required tower height, project location, design wind speed, antenna and equipment loading schedules (dimensions, weights, elevations), platform/ladder arrangements, and applicable design standards.

Q: Can lattice towers accommodate microwave antennas?

A: Yes. Lattice towers are well-suited for microwave installations, provided that dish diameters, weights, mounting elevations, and wind loads are fully incorporated into the structural design calculations.

Q: What surface treatment is applied to outdoor lattice towers?

A: Hot-dip galvanizing (complying with ASTM A123 / ISO 1461 standards) is standard for long-term corrosion resistance, with specialized options available for severe environments.

Q: Are lattice towers customizable?

A: Yes. Tower geometry, height, member sections, mounts, platforms, and safety accessories are fully customizable based on engineering requirements.
