USER MANUAL FOR FT TOWERS 33
USING THE TOWER AS A MECHANISM.
The tower behaves like a machine when lifting a load making use of the winch as a lifting element. In this
case all the parts of the tower behave like a mechanism that uses pulleys, cables and guides to be able to
execute the elevation of a load at a certain height.
USING THE TOWER AS A STRUCTURE.
The tower behaves like a structure when all the sections are blocked in such a way that the cable is
without tension. In this case the locking system together with the profiles, base and legs act as a support
column from which loads can be hung using some support elements such as manual electric hoists.
