An air handler 35 feet up, down in two pieces
Golden · university campus building · 2026
One unit, thirty-five feet in the air, in a working campus building. No crane access. The job was getting it down without hurting anything under it.
The job
What we walked into
A large air handling unit was mounted high in a campus mechanical space, thirty-five feet above a floor with equipment and rails below it. There was no crane access and no way to bring it down whole.
The approach
How it went
- Cut the unit into two sections in place from a scissor lift, keeping each piece within what the rigging could control.
- Lowered each section on rope with the lift as the working platform, sequenced so nothing below was ever under a suspended load.
- Broke the sections down further on the floor, staged them, and hauled them out with the rest of the debris.
- Swept the space and photographed the mount cleared.
The result
Handed back
The unit came down in two controlled sections with a crew of four, no damage to the equipment or rails below it, and the space handed back clean.
