When it comes to crane work, few projects say above and beyond quite like this one. At the heart of downtown Salt Lake City, Mountain took on a challenging mechanical lift for Mechanical Service & Systems (MSS) at the iconic Triad Center–KSL Building in downtown Salt Lake City, reaching an incredible 315 feet out — and over nearby buildings — to get the job done.
This lift wasn’t your average mechanical hoist. Using a Liebherr LTM 1650-8.1 configured with a 172 ft main boom, 157 ft fixed jib, and superlift, Mountain made a precision placement of 3,000 lb chillers at a 315-foot radius — a reach that cleared rooftops, navigated tight city geometry, and demonstrated the technical excellence Mountain is known for.
What makes this lift shine isn’t just the specs — it’s the trust MSS placed in Mountain to deliver a critical part of their mechanical installation plan. With 3,000 lb chillers to place and buildings in the way, it was a job that demanded not just equipment, but experience.
At Mountain, we don’t just show up with a crane — we show up with a plan, a team, and the confidence to go above buildings and beyond expectations. This project at the Triad Center is just one more reminder that big reach and tight spaces are where we thrive.
