GBL has the depth of experience required to deliver a 10,000 pound work of art to the balcony of a penthouse apartment, or coordinate the hoisting of the bulky components of a permanent window washer system to their final rooftop destination. 

New York City has the most stringent crane and rigging regulations in the country. GBL’s permanent on-staff NYC Master Riggers are licensed to supervise the hoisting of materials and equipment outside of buildings, irrespective of weight. In addition to their responsibility in identifying “critical picks”, Master Riggers personally direct all on-site logistics related to unique and substantial hoisting operations. In addition, GBL’s permanent on-staff NYC Special Riggers are licensed to supervise the hoisting of materials and equipment weighing up to 2,000 pounds. GBL’s equipment located in New York City is typically erected and dismantled under the jurisdiction and control of GBL’s Master Riggers and Special Riggers. GBL’s Riggers oversee the field implementation of GBL equipment and its safe use by all parties, from start to finish. 

Uniquely in the industry, GBL offers NYC Master Rigger and Special Rigger coverage, through NYC DoB, for contractors using its ADT Work Access systems. This service is performed under the direct supervision of GBL’s Riggers and support staff, who provide the training required to certify one or more client-employed Rigging Foremen to continuously oversee the safe use of the equipment.
