At the beach here mobile homes must be anchored with screw-in anchors and
straps. Most of the places that service mobile homes in the area can do the
anchors but they would be smaller ones - 4 or 5 feet. Perhaps some of inland
areas have a similar arrangement.

Interesting video! Screw in anchors would be worth considering if you have
access to the equipment to drive them in and the appropriate soil type.
Perhaps there are companies that just do this, however it is likely easier
to find a backhoe and dig a hole for a concrete slab.
There are companies that do this. Like a lot of specialized construction
things, you have to find them. I'd look for people who are in the
business of planting utility poles. (and hope it's not right after a big
storm, when those guys are busy fixing the downed infrastructure)
On the other hand, if you're looking at a big tower or an unusual soil
type, then you should be talking to an Engineer, and they'd probably
know the local vendors. You should be talking to an Engineer to select
the appropriate anchor type for your soil in any case.
