Never use a pole as a tram tie off or pull at an angle against the pole. I don't see anything suggesting that. I use a 20', 2", 1/4" wall, 6061-T6 Gin Pole with a double mount (2 clamps) to raise 45G
When I was installing towers many years ago, I would lift the top section (Rohn 25), the rotor plate, the rotor and 70-100 feet of cable on a regular basis. I even raised all of that and a pair of 11
