Here's the link to Rohn's mount catalog which will help you determine
the safe load under various wind conditions:

I've used the non-penetrating Rohn 25 BRM mounts to support 6 foot
Mark STL dishes and Scala Paraflectors.  These will allow the antennas
to be mounted high enough to clear rooftop HVAC units, people, and
other such obstructions.

Disclaimer: You need to determine if the roof can handle the
additional weight before installing one of these, but its often
possible if located directly above a column.   Have a structural
engineer review and approve your plans.
