Spider Demonstrates Expert Rigging Service

December 14, 2005

Seattle, WA - Spider, a division of SafeWorks, LLC, recently supplied suspended access rental equipment and performed exceptional rigging services to enable the installation of a 10-story tall Nike advertisement featuring NBA stand-out, LeBron James, on the Sherwin Williams Building - Tower Square in Cleveland.

Twelve Zmac/1000® hoists, six modular platforms, and various tower frames and outriggers were rented to Sign Lite, the contractor responsible for erecting the massive advertisement. Spider then completed the rigging work that enabled the lifting and placement of the sign, while allowing access for workers to attach the advertisement to the building. Quick turnaround of equipment and professional, timely rigging capabilities were essential in the success of this project. Spider delivered on both commitments.

The 2,700 pound mesh banner, which boasts a height of 110 feet and a width of 212 feet, quickly became Cleveland's newest tourist attraction. Although the installation was completed in October 2005, the final product will honor this young all-star's accomplishments on and off the basketball court for weeks to come.
