Communication Tower

On Friday November 9, our 110-ton crane was sent to a cell tower site in Stafford, VA. This tower was deemed to be 4 feet too tall by the Federal Aviation Administration because of it's proximity to the nearby Stafford Regional Airport. As a result, the tower owner decided to cut the tower and reduce it's height to comply.

Due to the height of the tower, the crane needed all of the main boom, extension inserts and boom extensions to complete this job.

We worked with Genesis Tower Services from Reading, PA, who climbed the tower to make the adjustments.

Helicopter Crane


On Saturday November 8, we helped one of our customers, Colonial Webb, to stage their air conditioning units for a helicopter lift. When a lift is too large to complete with a mobile crane, a helicopter crane may be your best option. One example of this type of lift involves replacing an air conditioning unit in the middle of a mall roof, or on some other building that is too tall and wide for a mobile crane to reach.



Our crane operator and riggers unloaded the units from the truck and spread them across the parking lot to make them accessible to the helicopter.

The helicopter crane from Construction Helicopters, Inc. was called in to provide the aerial crane service, and our riggers hooked the units to the helicopter to be placed on the roof of the Nike store at Arundel Mills Mall.
  
If your company has a lift like the one described above, call us, and we can work with you and a aerial crane provider to complete your lift.
