Hey there, planning out my roadmap of additions, dryers are after card machines. I have 2/6 bays next to the equipment room where putting in a turbo towel and boom should be a snap. Where might one install on the bays with only 7.5 ft walls? Do I need to bring down a post thru the roof for it? Would like to keep trips to the roof at a minimum overall.

That sounds pretty good, this boom would require bigger tube though? Is it acceptable to just install with no boom at all and just have the unit high on the wall and maybe a PVC fitting mounted to the wall?

You need to get a structural engineer to design a steel support frame and then have a steel fabricator build your steel support frame. Be sure to get it powder coated so it doesn’t rust.
Hmm more than I'd want to do. Maybe a roof mount for 4 bays. Output to pvc thru roof then to hose that's held up with a retractable line? Or ceiling mount so it isn't in the sun?

I'd look into one or two 4" square tubes. A single heavy wall tube won't make it look cluttered and should be plenty strong, and it will mean never having to get on the roof. A single tube coming down through the roof wouldn't hold both the dryer and the boom. The dryer on the roof isn't a bad idea. The plastic dome should hold up for at least 20 years. You'll still need to add something to mount the boom.
The turbo towel is just the metal (stainless?) box I think, that should hold up to being outside right? If I roof mounted it would just the pvc pipe down through the roof to hose coupler high near the ceiling, attach pulley to hose so the hose would go down, come near ground, go up to where pulley is, and come down again to holder. Should be able to get around a car ok like that with no boom.
