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.
