In fact, I suppose that there ought to be some indent or pathway in the side of the pillar where a lift might fit, either located next to the steps and handholds in the pillar or at the opposite side.

I'm gradually making sense of this. It's clear that the whole setup will have to be pre-fabricated, for assembly by unskilled labour with some skilled supervision, and with a standard winch design for the crane, lift, mooring mast, and anchor car.
Some special material for the winch cables would be
really useful. I'm really doubtful about low-temperature steel for something that has to flex so much.
What's the normal weight limit for parts of this setup? If it's 400lb, there will be a
lot of parts.
