What are the different types of transmission towers, and what are their typical heights?
2025-08-10Answer: Transmission towers come in several types, each designed for a specific purpose:
-
Lattice Steel Towers: These are the most common type and can be seen spanning long distances. Their height generally ranges from 20 to 60 meters for standard lines, but can be much taller for special crossings.
-
Tubular Steel Poles (Monopoles): Often used in urban and suburban areas, these single-pole structures are more aesthetically pleasing and have a smaller footprint. They are typically 20 to 45 meters tall.
-
Guyed Towers: These structures use guy wires anchored to the ground for additional support. They are often lighter and more economical, with heights varying widely depending on the application.
We manufacture and export the high-quality tools and equipment necessary for the safe and efficient construction and maintenance of all these tower types.
