Default Rotate TriBand to vertical?

I have a Cushcraft A3 beam on a crank up/tilt over tower. When I tilt
it over, it still requires a ladder to work on it due to the length of
the elements.

What I would like to do is to be able to rotate it as though I were
trying for vertical polarization before or during the tilt over
process. That would bring the antenna to a "flat" attitude for
maintenance and storm protection.

Any thoughts? The usual old fashioned Ham parameters apply: Little
cost as possible, build as much as I can my self, etc......

BTW, I have several good TV rotators I might use, but none with a hole
all the way through!
