I'm not sure if anyone addressed your question. It looks like you need a
Rohn catalog. There are cd versions around (I'm sure a TT'er could get one
to you) and also there are some online catalogs available.
To answer your question, I've never seen a max weight figure for any
tower. They use a combination of antenna area and windspeed to come up with a
tower loading figure. (And I think you meant how much each "tower" can hold.)
One thing to keep in mind is that for 45G, Rohn has already deducted 8
square feet for a "symmetrical mount" at the top of the tower so you can add
it
back in for ham radio loading purposes. This doesn't apply for 25G

Crank-ups are the most expensive tower structure so if you want to spend the
most dollars for your tower, that's the way to go. Otherwise your decision
is probably between a guyed tower and a self-supporter.
