        True but if you lift the  tower from above with some good nylon 
slings suspended below the forklift  forks, you won't damage it. 
 
        Also I wouldn't worry about  standing the tower on your base even 
though it's not fully cured. It's good  enough to support the weight of the tower 
- just don't crank it up  until it's cured.
