A 3-legged angle steel telecom tower (also called a tripod lattice tower) is a freestanding structure composed of three primary vertical legs made of angle steel sections, interconnected by horizontal and diagonal bracings. This triangular configuration creates exceptional torsional rigidity and load-bearing efficiency, making it ideal for high-load, high-height deployments in challenging environments.

Product Details
Key Components & Design
Primary Legs
Material: Hot-rolled equal-angle steel (e.g., Q235B/Q345B per GB/T 706-2016)
Typical Dimensions:
Leg width: 100–150 mm
Thickness: 8–16 mm
Spacing ("Root Spread"): 3–8 m at base, tapering upward
Bracing System
Horizontal Members: Connect legs at intervals (typically 1.5–3 m), resisting compression/buckling.
Diagonal Braces: Form triangular sub-frames, transferring shear forces.
K-Bracing vs. X-Bracing:
K-Bracing: Optimal for reducing material weight.
X-Bracing: Superior wind/earthquake resistance.
Joints & Connections
Bolted: High-strength galvanized bolts (Grade 8.8/10.9 per ISO 898-1) for on-site assembly.
Gusset Plates: Reinforce critical node connections.
Foundation Type | Application | Technical Specs |
---|---|---|
Mat Foundation | Stable soil | 8m × 8m × 1.5m reinforced concrete |
Pile Cap | Soft soil/swamps | 9–12 piles (Φ600mm, depth 20–30m) |
Rock Anchor | Mountainous terrain | Post-tensioned anchors to bedrock (capacity 50t) |
