With speed and cost in mind, the team provided crane plans, permitting, and the structural engineering necessary for the lift itself and to support the crane once placed. As a result, McLaren also provided the crane engineering for a Tadano TR450XL that assisted in putting the LTM 1500 together. The fully assembled LTM 1500 (utilizing the y-guy superlift kit) required eight trucks delivering over 363,800 lbs of counterweight. The lift of an LTM 1130 mobile crane was engineered onto the roof of Tiffany’s utilizing a giant 500-ton Liebherr LTM 1500 crane. building in the heart of Midtown where it would commence work on the build. The solution was as iconic as the retail brand itself: a crane would pick up another crane and fly it atop the Tiffany & Co. Taking space, time, and budget into consideration, McLaren Engineering Group’s construction team turned to unconventional methods of crane engineering to figure out how to work within NYC’s tight building constraints. However, constructing this in the heart of the congested City would require innovative solutions to configure crane space that would not take a large footprint and minimize road closures for the duration of the build. Designed with double-height and column-free spaces wrapped in two different glass facades, the newly constructed addition would create more interest from the street while maintaining energy efficiency. The luxury brand, currently undergoing a holistic, multi-year upgrade, sought to replace a former 1980s vertical rooftop expansion that housed three levels of office space with a new tri-story modern addition.
When New York City space constraints limit crane construction options, set your sights sky-highĪ monumental crane lift to support Tiffany & Co.’s iconic flagship retail store renovation took place to expand the landmark 1940 Art Moderne building on Fifth Avenue.
