The Yaesu G-800/G-1000 are spec'd at 7.3" diameter vs 8" for cd45.

The HD-73 is a very small rotator. I use it in my
skinny field day tower. Nothing else will fit.

The "Spid" rotators (sold by AlfaRadio and Array Solutions in NA) are
pretty skinny, except for the motor which would probably stick
outside of your top section, but the motor is stationary so would not
cause a problem (until you retracted the tower).
Have you considered mounting the rotator on top of the tower? The
Spids are ready made to sit on a mast, and their mechanical design is
better for that application than most other rotators. As long as you
don't need a tall mast and stacked yagis (I'm guessing that is not in
the cards for a tower that won't hold a CD-45), it might be the most
sensible way to proceed.

I have been trying gather the information from a bunch of places,
and decided to just go to the experts here.
Our radio club has a couple of very nice trailer mounted crank up
towers. I believe they are from U.S. Towers, but I am not sure. The
top section of these towers has a rotator plate, but the section
itself is a bit small. You can slip a Hygain CD-45 rotator into the
tower and it will bolt to the plate. But it can only turn about 60
degrees as the bolts on the CD-45 run into the tower legs.
1. What rotators are "narrower" than the CD-45?
1. Which rotator is the most narrow?
Thanks and 73,
