You may need to look harder. It took me a while to find a
company with a truck capable of going 150 ft and lift what I
wanted.

Look at all those tall signs along Interstates. Stop at a
few stores, and ask them who they call for service or
installation.

We used sign trucks all the time in Ohio to install
CATV/MATV headend towers. We'd assemble the entire antenna
system on the ground and pick it up with a sign (boom)
truck. We did that a few times a week with guyed and unguyed
towers up to 150 feet. Even down here in rural Georgia I can
get a truck and we barely have electricity.
