Dawes used a Grove GMK7550 all-terrain hydraulic crane with a 179ft. main boom, 220,400 lb. counterweight, and 80-ft. radius to lift the Pfister and Vogel water tower.
The water tower is one of several historic artifacts that will be preserved from the original tannery building near Milwaukee’s park east corridor and incorporated into a new $175m mixed-use residential North End development in downtown Milwaukee.
Dawes Rigging & Crane Rental, Inc., a member of the ALL Erection & Crane Rental Corp. family of companies, has been based in Wisconsin since it was founded in 1947.
