Hi Stan:
I think its called a crane :-). I've helped put up several 25g and 45g towers
in my ham
career. The 45g sections usually required 2 if not 3 people to pull the
section up
safely. I'm sure some sort of winch would be required to pull up 420lbs
assuming you
could find/manufacture a gin pole that would handle it.
