I don't know who makes them, but a company has had some very heavy and "EXPENSIVE" towers on display. I remember looking them up and the construction was impressive. It appeared the vertical legs were at least 2" and a glossy white powder coated.

This is not the one I was thinking of, but it certainly would met your requirements being able to support one metric ton (2,200#, or 1,000 Kg) at 168 feet. Tower motor for raising and lowering is 20 HP, 3 phase. Base for the two versions of this tower are 60.47 and 75.34 Cu Yards of concrete. Tower weights are 23 and 37 tons!

At least it's an example of what's available "If you have the money to spend)

The one I was thinking of is built in Asia (Japan, Korea, China?) and looks a lot nicer. I don't know if it's available in these sizes or ratings.
