How the job went.

  1. The job

    NYS DOT was taking down old radio towers used by emergency responders along Interstate 495. Several stood in the woods, with no way to reach them from the ground.

  2. The problem

    I-495 is one of the busiest highways in the nation and could not be closed for long. The lifts on hand did not reach far enough.

  3. What we sent

    Our A-230: 230 ft of height and up to 115 ft of side reach, run by a full-time IPAF-certified operator. It was ready to work within 10 minutes of arrival.

  4. The result

    All three towers were cleared the same day, with project time and traffic disruption cut at least threefold.
