Base assembly for a lattice tower

1. A tower, comprising:

a first leg;

a second leg;

a third leg, the first leg, the second leg, and the third leg forming a triangular shaped base lattice section of the tower, the first, second, and third leg each constructed of galvanized steel;

a foot welded to each leg, each foot having an aperture;

an inner gusset welded to each foot and the respective leg, the inner gusset extends toward an inner edge of the respective foot;

an outer gusset welded to each foot, the outer gusset extends toward the aperture of the respective foot; and

a tower lattice section hinged to the base lattice section, wherein the tower lattice section comprises a first, second and third leg each constructed of aluminum.

2. The tower as recited in claim 1 , wherein the tower is a hinged lattice tower.

3. The tower as recited in claim 1 , wherein each outer gusset defines an angle with respect to an axis defined between a center of the aperture and a center of the respective leg.

4. The tower as recited in claim 1 , wherein the outer gusset extends for a length greater than the inner gusset with respect to the respective leg.

5. A tower, comprising:

a first leg;

a second leg;

a third leg, the first leg, the second leg, and the third leg forming a triangular shaped lattice section of the tower;

a foot welded to each leg, each foot having an aperture;

an inner gusset welded to each foot and the respective leg, the inner gusset extends toward an inner edge of the respective foot;

an outer gusset welded to each foot, the outer gusset extends toward the aperture of the respective foot; and

a notch in each inner gusset through which extends a first horizontal and a second horizontal that is welded to the respective leg.
