This might be a double definition.

'one hauling' is the first definition.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for tower that I've seen before include "Minaret, for example" , "Campanile, spire etc" , "tugboat" , "Rise to great height" , "Wrote (anag.)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
