I guess most on here find this fairly trivial but to the ones who offered advice after my original post, thank you. Here is an update.
Disassembling the stand from its inner frame was kind of a pain because it was laying on its side, had water puddling on parts of it and muddy. Standing the tower back up was a cinch took only a few minutes using the winch on a Polaris Ranger. No damage to the platform legs ladder any of it. I took this o 20230321_140021.jpgpportunity to block up the front two legs since it was slightly lower before. The project manager inspected and approved it.
The inner frame was another matter however. There are many bent parts at least one weld is cracked. I contacted the distributor of these and asked if at Goodbye a complete inner frame assembly. The answer was yes! The catch is you have to buy each individual part separately. There are a lot of parts. At this point I've decided to take it back to the house find out exactly which parts are repairable. Some of the tubing will undoubtedly crack when straightened. I will have to order individual parts to repair it. There was no damage to any of the covers.

Good that the platform tower wasn't damaged and it's nice that the company allows you to purchase individual replacement parts...verses having to do a full replacement.

I would have preferred a full replacement that would have been easier than figuring out each part that I need but it is what it is.
I'm sure they would welcome you ordering a full replacement...:)

I was just thinking ordering only the bent sections may save some money? But it might not be worth the headache?
