How heavy is 55G /foot or so, and how much torque is allowed? Then it should
be rather simple to calculate how long tower you could pick up.

I've picked up 90 feet of 45G laying on the ground slung from the top
of the tower with no problem. 55G would be heavier so you might consider
80' of it as a safe limit. Do a test lift and see how comfortable you are
with it.
