I propose a train. A rail shunting locomotive like the EMD MP15DC is perfect.
It fits: the train is 48 feet long and the starship fairing is 55 ft long.
The train weighs 117,000 kg, so it's a little on the heavy side if the lift capacity is only 100,000 kg, but if the capacity is 150 tonnes it should be fine. It's so heavy and solidly built a multiton chunk would be intact when it hits earth after deorbiting, but probably would be vaporized and make a massive crater from lithobraking.
