How to put a S300P/S400 radar on/off a mast or elevator tower?

The battery search and or track radars and various other S400 related radars are able to be removed from their turntables, placed on a mast (tall or short) which is then erected.
This is used to improve radar horizon and thus low altitude coverage of fixed points such as cities, airfields and rear command posts where it is a good idea to trade high mobility for being able to see above the treeline.
In some places around cities in Russia and other ex-soviet states they also have heavy elevator towers where the entire vehicle can be driven on and elevated to a significant height, greatly improving the radar horizon and providing an excellent cruise missile intercept range of around 50 miles with an S400.
Both the search and track radar have to be masted/elevated for best results, elevating only the search radar which is sometimes done likely means reduced low alt range and lower terminal accuracy without ARH/IRH missiles.
In CMO I can't figure out how to mast or elevate, either the way it is done in real life or just with a separate version of the facility.
Is this possible?
