How the job went.

  1. The job

    New York City was installing 13 emergency services antennas around the boroughs. One went on a power plant smokestack in Queens, on the East River.

  2. The problem

    Open fields around the plant mean steady gusts of 25+ mph, and the lift had to park on the access road outside the plant.

  3. What we sent

    Our tallest lift, the A-300: 300 ft high, 106 ft of side reach, 1,322 lb in the 12 ft basket. From the road, it reached the catwalk at almost 260 ft.

  4. The result

    The antenna was up, connected and working in less than two full days, with one lift and two technicians.
