Independent Power Systems develops guy-less towers for mounting small wind turbines. The guy-less tower, with its cantilevered design, hinges 15 feet above the ground and stands 40 feet tall. With the industrial hand winch, one person can easily raise and lower the tower. The winch incorporates an automatic disc brake to prevent the falling of the tower and helps in raising and lowering of the tower safely. The winch line and winch are always attached to the tower.
