Project Overview
Positive Lifting was selected to execute a specialized rooftop vehicle lift for Audi in Brooklyn, New York, safely moving a high-value Audi SUV from street level to a rooftop terrace for a special reveal event. Located at The 1 Hotel Brooklyn Bridge, 60 Furman Street, the project required a carefully coordinated nighttime lifting operation in a confined urban environment. From crane positioning and specialized rigging to controlled lifting and final rooftop placement, every stage of the operation was planned and executed with precision, safety, and attention to detail.
The Challenge
Lifting a luxury vehicle from street level to a rooftop in New York City presents a unique combination of logistical and technical challenges. The operation required precise crane positioning within a dense urban environment, careful handling of a high-value vehicle, specialized rigging equipment, and close coordination between the crane operator and certified rigging crew. Working at night added another layer of complexity, making planning, communication, load control, and safety essential throughout the operation.
Creative rigging and fabrication of steel was necessary to successfully lift the car.
Our Solution
Positive Lifting developed and executed a controlled lifting plan tailored to the Audi vehicle, site conditions, and rooftop destination. Our experienced rigging team prepared and secured the vehicle using specialized rigging equipment, including a spreader beam configuration designed to provide stability and controlled load distribution during the lift. The mobile crane was strategically positioned to perform the lift safely within the restricted urban environment. With constant communication between the crane operator and rigging crew, the Audi SUV was carefully lifted from street level, maneuvered above the building, and precisely positioned on the rooftop terrace.
Safety & Precision
Safety was a priority throughout every stage of the Audi rooftop lift. Our team followed strict safety procedures while maintaining complete control of the vehicle during lifting, movement, and final placement. The combination of experienced personnel, professional rigging equipment, detailed lift planning, and coordinated execution allowed the operation to be completed safely and efficiently.
The Result
The Audi SUV was successfully lifted from street level and precisely positioned on the rooftop terrace overlooking the Brooklyn Bridge and Manhattan skyline. The operation was completed safely and according to plan, preparing the vehicle for Audi’s special rooftop reveal. This project demonstrates Positive Lifting’s ability to execute complex, high-visibility lifting operations involving valuable and sensitive loads in challenging New York City environments.
Recognized by Audi AG
The successful project also received public recognition from Audi AG, highlighting the Positive Lifting team’s role in executing the rooftop vehicle lift for the special reveal event in New York City. For Positive Lifting, this recognition reflects the same standards we bring to every project: professional planning, experienced crews, precise execution, and a commitment to safety from the first lift plan through final placement.
