The KT-34XA has, according to my notes, approximately 59 inches
between elements at the mounting location. That's almost 5 feet.
Unfortunately, the balance point is not quite in the center of the
two elements (D1 and D2) so one would need to have a counterweight.
The bad news is that it still won't make it completely around your tower
on a swinging-gate side mount. The TIC is the way to go for
full rotation.
