30 years of service replaced in a single day.
This local packing house relied on the same chiller infrastructure for nearly three decades to keep freshly harvested crops cold. When it came time for an upgrade, we were brought in to handle the critical lifts.
The centerpiece of the project was setting a 20,000 lb replacement coil assembly through a very tight roof opening at a 43-foot working radius. With only inches to spare between structural steel, piping, and the surrounding walls, this wasn’t a lift that left any room for error. Every movement had to be deliberate and precise.
Before the crane ever rolled onto the jobsite, we completed a detailed site visit. By taking a few key measurements and applying some simple math, we were able to determine the exact crane location, calculate our working radius, and give the customer complete confidence that the lift was well within our safe operating range. Good planning eliminates guesswork.
Once the coil assembly was safely in place, we completed the project by setting the remaining chiller components and supporting equipment, helping modernize a cooling system that keeps fresh produce moving from the field to the market.
Projects like this are a reminder that successful crane work isn’t just about lifting heavy objects—it’s about planning, precision, and executing safely from the first site visit to the final pick.
