"We had 218 picks scheduled over six weeks. Hoist didn't miss a single window. My steel erector was calling them for the next job before we'd even topped out."

The Meridian Tower required a 340-ton capacity tower crane with a luffing jib to work inside a tight urban footprint. Hoist coordinated directly with the structural engineer on load charts, ran a pre-lift meeting every morning at 4:45 AM, and maintained a running pick log shared live with the GC's super.

Harbor District Tower Complex

Seattle, WA · 62-story mixed-use · 2 tower cranes

"I've been a PM for nineteen years. Last year I lost three days because a crane company didn't answer their phone. I switched to Hoist. They picked up at 11 PM on a Sunday to adjust a tandem lift sequence. That's the difference."

Harbor District required coordinating two 400-ton tower cranes in a shared radius zone. Hoist's site coordinator built a 14-week lift schedule in BIM-linked format, ran daily pre-lift coordination calls with both operators, and executed a 580-ton tandem pick of the mechanical penthouse — the heaviest lift in the project's history — on the first attempt.

"We had four cranes, a 900-ton crawler, and a 40-day window to set a 280-foot arch over live highway traffic. Hoist ran the lift plan, coordinated with WSDOT, and executed without a single weather delay we hadn't already planned for. I'm not switching crane companies again."
