Positive Lifting is proud to have contributed to the iconic 50-story high-rise at 767 Fifth Avenue, the General Motors Building, a prestigious structure overlooking the Manhattan skyline. Situated on an entire city block facing Central Park, this renowned project required meticulous planning and precise execution for all lifting operations.
In this unique and sensitive project, our team provided comprehensive crane services, handling every aspect of the lifts with the utmost attention to safety and logistics. We successfully managed street closures, overseeing full rigging and lifting operations for all new roofing materials, ensuring the project proceeded smoothly without disrupting the area.
Additionally, Positive Lifting played a key role in securing the premises, installing sidewalk sheds, and conducting roofing protection lifts to guarantee compliance with all safety protocols. Given the high-traffic nature of the location, we developed a detailed safety plan to manage traffic efficiently during working hours.
Positive Lifting’s team provided specialized cranes and customized services, ensuring timely delivery and that all operations met the highest standards. With our 24/7 lifting capabilities, we were able to perform critical rigging on weekends and within tight time windows, including securing special permits during holidays to comply with all Crane & Derricks regulations.
Another successful project completed by Positive Lifting, where expert service and precise execution led to the smooth, safe, and timely completion of this landmark project.
