Atlanta HVAC Helicopter Lift
Lifting HVAC to the roof of a 20-story building
It's not exactly a regular day at E. Escher Inc. Today's lift is a big one. But, after months of preparation and planning they are ready.
The first lift, the week before, was for the steel beams that are now the platform that the sixteen 25-ton modular chillers will rest on. Each unit weighs about 2,000 lbs, and there will be less than 4" on each side of the flange that supports the unit; so these chillers will need to be precisely placed—while dangling 100 feet in 80 mph winds created by the helicopter.
The equipment is staged with rigging, the buildings and streets below are cleared, the helicopter is fueled and ready to go, and so is the crew.

How do you get 2000 lbs. to the top of a 20-story building? Sunrise Studios set out to document this process for E. Escher Inc. We provided a 3-person crew for PR coverage of this 2-day lift including a videographer, photographer and drone pilot. Editing and post-production also by Sunrise Studios.
