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 […]

The operation required meticulous planning and skillful maneuvering to secure the piece safely […]
At the Loveland Living Planet Aquarium, we relocated two large shark tanks, each weighing 20,000 pounds. We used a chain hoist to flip the tanks and then skated them through the aquarium to their new spots. We’re also getting ready to install a 1,400-pound glass enclosure for the otter exhibit. We’re excited to see these […]
High above the bustling operations of Salt Lake City International Airport, the traffic control tower stands as a sentinel of air traffic management, ensuring smooth operations for countless flights.
