Good thinking, but there is a lot of preliminary work needed (installing a concrete foundation) then intricate positioning using cranes which seems to need at least a gravel road.
The best use would be lifting the towers from the dock to the installation site (which often needs careful planning of highway routes for long vehicles).

We had a vehicle that ran off a country road and fell into a ditch (due to the length of the road vehicle negotiating a bend):-
