@Renesiz Lowering on calm days is the mere overcomplication. The idea and function of a tilt over tower is for maintenance. Without it the homeowner of a wind turbine is doomed to horrendous costs of contracting a tower climber and a crane truck to lower the turbine, repair it, & reinstall. In Iowa just the cost of a crane truck is about $150 per hour from the moment the crane leaves its shop until it returns. Don't know about tower climbers. With the tiltover its free money in the pocket!
On a windy day like that, lowering and raising this tower might indeed be very dangerous, it could result in a twisted or bent tower or damage to the base unit as well as catastrophic failure of the blades/and alternator!!!! I would not take the chance !!I would wait for a calm / low wind day to do this!!
so big tower for so little wind generator. a waste of money!!!. if i was doing this proyect, i will save the money of the tower and i place 3 wind turbines just in the roof, this place looks like has a lot of wind even in a few feets over the ground. just look the hair of the man. at least 30 MPH winds!!
The wind generator is very cleverly designed at the hydraulic base, which is great. Thank you
Easily the best built tilt tower I’ve seen. 👍👏👏👏
Years after seeing this I used a similar base hinge and my truck to stand up a light pole by myself. Thanks for the idea!
Thanks for the feedback - Glad it was some help to someone!
I wanted to know the model & performce of your Turbine at low moderate & high winds@@malcolmhay
Very nicely built

Non. Ho. Capito. Nulla. Ciao
Hello. That is a nice design. Congratulations. What are the dimensions of the tower (e.g. outside diameter, wall thickness)? Thank you. All the best.
Sensacional!
i have same problem,, i got idea, hats off to to you.
How big is that slab of cement?
Wow: I wish I could set my turbine up like that.
Smart Construction
That's right, it's great
Hands down the best unit built, but they should have welded the base nuts inside of the base box.
Once the hinge gets play the nuts and the holes in the top plate might not line up anymore.
ALWAYS have a stand (with a car tyre or similar) on top to lower the mast onto! This mast this expensive needs a proper wind turbine, not a toy...
I love that electric HYDRAULIC hoistable tower bad ass
To bad your pole isnt telescoping that would awesome then you can program it to raise or lower for best winds
Looks quite professional! Can you please tell me what the rating is on that ram? Also what size pipe is the tower base?
Could you tell me the email address of this australian which built this turbine.
i want to ask the techincal specification.
how deep is the foundation ? how much it weight ?
rensiz. and how much power would be consumed doing that 10 times a day ?
Hi can you write me where you bay tower , Regards Kris
Watch out for those overhead electrical lines!!! Now wouldn't THAT be ironic. LOL

I would bet the tower is engineered for raising and lowering even in high winds.
Well nothing twisted or bent. I guess they proved you wrong lol
that allot of wind you have there
I built a portable wind turbine tower
I think you can see some good advices on Avasva solutions.
sexy

How has that vibrating roof worked out for you?
Thing is your not doing the project, he is!!!
