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 element Cush craft beams.
Straight pull up of course.

Subject: [TowerTalk] Lifting final 25G section with mast nested within.
I was wondering if anyone had any opinion on lifting the final section of
25G, top stub and thrust bearing installed, along with a 30 pound mast
nested within the section. My gin pole utilizes a 12’ length of 6061-T6
aluminum, 2” diameter, 3/8 wall thickness. The combines weight of the the
assembly is close to 80 lbs. The gin pole has been very sturdy during
individual section lifts, but I don’t know if #80 is pushing it.
