(OP)
what is the roof load kpa of roof antenna like this?

my client wants his roof to be able to take these possible antennas in the future. What is the biggest loads you have encountered?
Btw.. anyone knows what kinds of antennas are those? Why is it vertical? I know round shapes are microwave antennas. But what about vertical?

The EIA/TIA has specs for wind loads but you would apply the wind to the antennas and pipes and waveguides and see what it does to your roof. The PCS companies rent space on buildings to put their antennas.

Roofs designed for decent snow/wind loads should be able to support them no problem.

TIA-EIA-222 Ref F or Rev G.
Also ASCE7-10 Other Structures - however this can get complicated as I usually check the frequency of the pole structure.
I agree w/ TT and the usual sizes however you must have some existing information in order to evaluate the roof for the ballast load. Unless you can locate them over columns/bearing walls then it may be less worry some.
