Case Studies
How we approach real lifting and recovery challenges — from planning to closeout.
Note for site owner: these are placeholder case studies with generic scenarios and stock imagery. Replace them with genuine Elevate projects (with client permission) and real photos before using them as marketing claims.
Each example below follows the same path we take on every job: understand the challenge, plan the lift, and execute it safely.
CommercialRooftop HVAC Change-Out
- Challenge
- A commercial building needed a failed rooftop unit removed and a new one set over an occupied space with limited street-side set-up room.
- Approach
- Scoped the pick around the heaviest unit and the farthest reach, planned set-up and clearances, and sequenced removal and placement in one visit.
- Outcome
- Old unit removed and new unit set on the existing curb, coordinated with the mechanical contractor for tie-in.
Storm RecoveryTree Off A Home After A Storm
- Challenge
- A large tree came down across a residential roof, under tension and hard to reach from the yard.
- Approach
- Lifted heavy trunk sections straight up with the crane rather than dragging, relieving load on the structure while a tree crew sectioned.
- Outcome
- Tree removed with the roof stabilized for the restoration contractor to begin repairs.
MarineVessel Recovery At A Marina
- Challenge
- Storm surge pushed a boat onto a dock, leaving it stranded and blocking a slip.
- Approach
- Planned a controlled lift around the hull's weight and lift points, with a safe crane set-up near the water's edge.
- Outcome
- Vessel lifted and repositioned for haul-out and inspection, coordinated with the marina and owner.
IndustrialPlant Equipment Change-Out
- Challenge
- A facility needed heavy process equipment removed and replaced within a tight shutdown window.
- Approach
- Booked the window in advance, planned congested set-up and precise placement, and staged both units for an efficient swap.
- Outcome
- Change-out completed inside the shutdown window so the unit returned to service on schedule.
