Positive Lifting played a crucial role in the construction of the 98-08 Queens Boulevard mixed-use tower in Rego Park, Queens. Our team worked in close collaboration with NY Developers and Management, the general contractor, and the developer's team of subcontractors to execute a well-coordinated crane logistics plan. Through meticulous planning and seamless communication, we successfully met all deadlines, completing the required lifts efficiently and ahead of schedule.

Precision Planning and Expert Execution: Positive Lifting’s Fleet in Action

Positive Lifting’s expert office management and field planning ensured that the right equipment was utilized for each task.
