In April, Mountain proudly participated in the renowned Dutch Flower Parade, an event recognized as an intangible cultural heritage by UNESCO and attended by over a million visitors. For the first time in nearly 50 years, a crane was featured in the parade—and we were honored to make history with our Liebherr LTM 1070-4.2. […]
We’re proud to announce that Mountain has won SC&RA’s Rigging Job of the Year in the $300,000–$1 million category for our innovative execution of a complex carbon monoxide (CO) line replacement project. The award-winning job involved the removal and replacement of a 36" to 42" refractory-lined CO line under extremely tight time constraints. With no […]
Out at a new substation connected to a nearby solar farm, we were brought in to install power pole sets ranging up to 170 feet tall. These poles play a critical role in directing power from the solar site to the grid. While the smaller poles were handled by the customer, the larger and more […]
At the University of Utah Medical Center, our Jack and Slide crew was brought in to install eight 18,000-pound air handler units. Each unit was flown over the building and landed on a platform built outside an eighth-story window. From there, the crew skated the equipment through the opening and into the building, using come-alongs […]
Replacing a 36" to 42" carbon monoxide gas pipe is challenging enough. Doing it with limited overhead clearance and obstructions below is a whole new level of complexity. The project required removing the pipe quickly and safely. With overhead clearance too tight for crane lifts and obstructions below ruling out jack and slide operations, we […]
Our crawler cranes—Liebherr LR1300 and LTR1220—recently took on the challenge of unloading and placing battery packs at a solar farm. Partnering with Solv Energy, we streamlined the process, completing the project in 10 days instead of the expected 20. With one crane dedicated to unloading and the other handling precise placements, our team’s efficiency and […]

Meet the SBI [Single Blade Installation] tool, a game-changing solution designed for efficiency, precision, and adaptability. No more complex multi-crane setups. No more custom cradles for every blade profile. The SBI tool’s hydraulic pads instantly adjust, making […]
At a radioactive facility, we handled the transport of two massive decommissioned steam generators from a nuclear power plant. Each one weighing as much as 457,000 pounds! Using two 300-ton crawlers, we lifted the units off railcars and moved them 75 feet away from the tracks. From there, we used a 10-line Goldhofer trailer to […]
Our team stepped in to assist with the recovery of a sunken houseboat at Wahweap Marina in Lake Powell. The job began with using a crane to build a barge system for the dive team to work from. The divers used airbags to lift the boat off the lakebed and secure it to the barge. […]
