Minicrane aids statue of liberty renovation: Compact crane allowed for work in the tight areas of the monument's foundation and adapted to the irregular footing

摘要

At 151 ft. tall and 225 tons, the Statue of Liberty cuts an impressive profile in New York Harbor. In September of 2011, the National Park Service kicked off a $30 million upgrade to allow for better safety and security while maintaining the monument's historic look and finish. The 154-ft. granite pedestal underwent renovations that included the replacement of nearly 100 tons of stone pavers and granite wall panels.
