Watch the job.

How the job went.

  1. The job

    A nationwide sign company had to replace the lights in two signs near the top of the 100 ft Penn Medicine building in downtown Philadelphia, and fix some sign wiring.

  2. The problem

    The signs sat beyond 68 ft of walkways and lawns on a busy street. The lifts and crane baskets the client had used before could not take two people plus materials.

  3. What we sent

    Our A-230 with an IPAF-certified operator. We pulled the permit and handled traffic control, so the client didn't have to.

  4. How it went

    On a Saturday morning our team closed part of the street. After a 10-minute setup, two workers and 50 lb of bulbs went up, and the truck never moved while they worked both sides.
