Re: Sears Tower Getting Ready to put Antenna Back
How do they get anything else large in or out of the building?

Re: Sears Tower Getting Ready to put Antenna Back
You have to schedule an appointment with the freight elevator operators. There are multiple elevators and the big one has a 13 foot ceiling in the back half of the car and is double wide compared to the other elevators. It also goes from the third sub basement to the top. I forget what the lifting capacity is but I know our high voltage supplies are 800 lbs. each and they came up the elevator. The hard part is, all the elevators are in the core of the building so they face each other or are back to back. This means that the turning radius coming through the elevator lobbies must be calculated for the length of freight you intend to lift and move onto floors. It might require the load to be moved while one end is lifted in the air and the other rides near the floor level. The height of each floor is about 12 feet but there is considerable material hanging from the ceilings in many areas. Finished areas have suspended ceilings that are far shorter than the actual height.

I'd just get it up to the roof and fly it down.
