Found this company called Hollaender, that makes railing fittings called Speed Rail. And my first thought was "a tower". The hinge pins look kinda small, but you might be able to drill that out and replace with something bigger and stronger.
I'm just not sure if it's a strong enough metal.

It's strong enough. I used their parts for Tower feet and to connect some cross braces. It worked awesome. I did drill out the pins and replaced them with some strong bolts. It's good stuff. I used 2" parts.
