Cell antenna replacement
Cell antenna replacement above high-voltage transmission lines
What was the challenge?
Our client, a well-established electrical construction company, needed to replace cell antennas and conduct maintenance work on a lattice tower located above high-voltage transmission lines. They required access around the lattice tower over high-voltage transmission lines to install antennas.
The original plan was to use their own JLG lift. To prepare for the project the high-voltage power line was de-energized and a team of technicians arrived at the site. When it became apparent that the JLG lift available was unable to be properly set up on a steep angle slope, the project was in danger of falling behind schedule. The client was looking for a quick solution since a high-voltage transmission line tower could not be de-energized for a long time.
The crew also needed enough room in the basket for four technicians, their equipment, and antennas while ensuring safety during maintenance.
What was the solution?
What was the outcome?
Alpha Platforms lift is known for its swift setup, enabling your crew to start work in just 15 minutes upon arrival. This particular project, however, required extra effort to ensure a flawless installation on an extremely rugged surface. The operator’s diligence paid off, showcasing the efficient elevation of the crew and the lift performance.
The lift did not touch any lines or hit any antennas while accessing the tower’s entire perimeter. Thanks to Alpha's next-gen equipment and the expertise of a professional lift operator, our Client completed the project within a short time of just 4 days. The client was impressed by the lift's smooth and fast movements and the feeling of the basket's extreme stability.

It was a pleasure using the services of Alpha Platforms. Their 250ft Boom Truck was not only impressive it was efficient and safe. Their operators contributed to the success of an extremely difficult 130ft chimney liner Rig.
We use Alpha platforms for our recent projects, they offer great pricing and a great staff that keeps you up to date with response times with permits, etc. We will continue using Alpha platforms for our boom providing needs!
I highly recommend this company. I have used their services several times and have not have any issues. They are professionals, friendly and very helpful. The company takes care of any permits that may be required. Reasonable prices as well.
As a glazing contractor, we only trust Alpha Platforms for our boom-lift needs — and for good reason. Their all-inclusive service is truly all-inclusive: they provide the operator, the flagman, and handle all the necessary permits seamlessly. They are incredibly diligent, responsive, and professional. We recently had an emergency in New York City, and Alpha Platforms was fully mobilized and ready to go within three hours. That level of speed and reliability is unmatched in the industry. They are truly one of a kind — the best in the business. Highly recommended.
Amazing experience with Alpha platforms! They helped me on an emergency job for a fallen chimney in Brooklyn NY! Got to give it to them, they really go ABOVE and beyond!
Great experience with Alpha Platforms. Company is reliable, professional, & personable. Operator was exceptional getting us everywhere we needed to go. Office & Management team made this project seamless. We recommend this company and we will use Alpha Platforms again of future projects.
I called Mike from Alpha platforms at 10am for a emergency facade repair on a 18 stories building and by 12:30 they were mobilized to bring my crew up to remove the falling bricks.
If you're looking for equipment rental in NY, you should use Alpha Platforms. Not only do they provide certified operators (which is hard to find!), but they're also extremely helpful and professional. I called Friday at 3 pm for a job Tuesday morning and they made it happen - checking the site for safety, planning out the whole operation, and getting all the paperwork done asap. We've used them since and everyone is always very happy with the work that they do.
Great experience! First time on the 300 foot boom for a Local Law Facade Inspection. Vadim, the operator, was in complete control of the equipment and made the whole process smooth. Flagmen secured the area below and allowed my Client to operate their hotel without any disturbance. Honorio Designs Architecture, PLLC
Excellent service, arriving on time every day, responsible with the load limit, very attentive to the lubrication and controls of the crane.
Excellent team working with us, always willing to do anything for the best
It was a pleasure to work with Alpha Platforms, the crew was skilled and helpful, the equipment was top-notch. Our installers appreciated the security of the platform vs working off of a swing stage, it made their job easier and more efficient. From the first meeting thru to the end of the work day everything ran as smoothly as it could. We will definitely be partnering with Alpha Platforms on future projects. Thank you for your help!
I had an emergency project on a 140' high voltage tower and needed Alpha Platforms next day. They were so helpful and expedient walking me through the entire process so I was comfortable with the deal. They showed up to my site next day and cut about 2 days off of the project due to the safety, speed and efficiency of their lift and operators. I'll never rent or hire another lift company. I would recommend Alpha platforms for all your high reach needs.

That is a fine piece of equipment! And the competent, professional group that goes along with it is just the cherry on top. I really appreciate everything. I'm sure we'll be able to use Alpha again in the future as we get these opportunities. In fact, it will only help our business knowing we have a safe, reliable solution to these over 50‘ height challenges.
We had an exceptional experience with Alpha! They are professionals, great operator team. Overall reliable, recommended will certainly return for my future needs hands down.
My company used alpha lifts to clean a 14 floor building and they were great. Very accommodating, always on time, and will work with you to get the job done safe and sound. The lifts they provide are state of the art and can pretty much reach any low rise building under 250 feet. I’d recommend them to anyone doing window cleaning or facade cleaning, or anything king of height access work!
We wanted to give it a try and see what this boom truck could do. We loved the idea of a wide basket that could reach up to 30 feet and get to the brick wall over the roof. The main reason we loved the truck was how it maneuvered the boom to lower the bricks inside a dumpster, which was located behind the truck. It saved us at least one extra day of work. It all went great.
Alpha has the most efficient and leanest site setup time I’ve ever seen. My brother, who is the top climber of our group, first struggled to understand how this cage could go around the tower better than the crane - and when it did the whole 360°, he became a believer. Also, each laborer said how incredibly safe they felt - very different from the small crane basket. We were able to secure and push back the panels in place without the basket ever moving.
The project was performed successfully, and we were really glad to have contactless means of reaching the building, as we all know that pipe scaffold might damage the structure, in this case, very very sensitive.
