MACY’S GREAT TREE LIGHTING<\/strong><\/p>\n

PROJECT<\/strong>: Remove the tree from a flat bed truck to set on the roof of Macy’s at the Lennox Square Mall in the Buckhead area of Atlanta. After Christmas, remove the tree and set on truck for removal.<\/p>\n

CUSTOMER<\/strong>: Macy’s<\/p>\n

EQUIPMENT:<\/strong>\u00a090 Ton Crane + Rigging Team<\/p>\n

The Macy’s Christmas tree is a famous Atlanta tradition that has been happening for decades. Superior Rigging & Erecting employee, Chris Leavy, recounts his experience of the event as a child:<\/p>\n

“When I was a kid, I remember going to see Superior Rigging set the Christmas tree on the old Rich’s Building in Downtown Atlanta. They use to have a children’s ride, the pink pig that use to go around the tree.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Many Atlanta residents have similar, fond memories of the event. The Macy’s Great Tree Lighting is a special event during a special time of year and we are so glad we are able to participate.\u00a0The lighting is an annual, fun-filled tradition that features the Christmas tree lighting as well as a pre-show concert and fireworks finale. We used one of our 90 tonLink-Belt cranes to set the tree in preparation for the event. <\/span><\/p>\n
