Hoisting Ductwork at 101 College Street in New Haven
Service area: Crane rental & rigging in New Haven, CT
A Quick Pick Crane Service, Inc. was on site at 101 College Street in New Haven, Connecticut, hoisting ductwork for a Dimeo job. For this lift we brought in our 300-ton Grove GMK5250XL-1 all-terrain crane and set up on Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard, working alongside the glass tower that defines this stretch of downtown New Haven.
Ductwork like this is long, awkward, and needs steady handling as it rises past floor after floor of glass curtain wall. The photos show the sections rigged and lifted clean against the building, with the boom extended high to reach the upper levels. Our crew rigged each piece, checked the picks, and brought the loads up with control so the trades inside could receive and set them.
Why a 300-Ton All-Terrain for This Lift
Setting up on a city boulevard means tight footprint and plenty of boom. The Grove GMK5250XL-1 gives us the long reach needed to clear the building height and place loads well in from the street, which is what a downtown job at 101 College Street calls for. Union-certified operators ran the crane, and the lift plan put safety first from setup through the final pick.
Quick Pick Crane is family-owned and has been lifting in Connecticut since 1984. If you have a crane rental, rigging, or machinery-moving job in New Haven County or anywhere across the region, call us at 203.924.2000 and we will talk through the lift.
