I think you would be at risk of breaking the rotator castings if any 
undue stress is put on them.  A rotor cage would be a much better idea 
than relying on the rotator clamps.

I understand they raise the mast into vertical position first, guyed with a ring and then lift the mast to allow them to drop the bottom of the mast into a rotator that someone else slips into place.
