Regatta boat on the Eiffel Tower
French crane contractor S.E Levage completes a crane job at the Parisian landmark with distinction. A boat is hoisted about 60 metres onto the gallery of the Eiffel Tower.
Wind causes a change of plan
A crane site between the piers of the 300-metre monument is planned for the hoist. Wind turbulence does not allow the boat to be hoisted through the inside of the Eiffel Tower. That meant the crane has to be moved to the road bordering the Champ de Mars, the Avenue Gustave Eiffel.
Greater radius at the new crane site
In view of the high lifting capacity of the LTM 1300-6.2, the 20 percent additional radius for the five-tonne boat – resulting from the new site for the crane to the side of the structure – does not pose a major challenge.
Accomplished team work
The hook is moved upwards well after midnight. Company boss Eric Salvi and his men have their hands full securing the boat and holding it stable as the wind gusts around it. The team from S.E Levage completes the job effortlessly, positioning the advertisement safe and sound on the gallery of the "Tour Eiffel".

At an altitude of around 60 metres, the boat is carefully and precisely placed on mountings that had been put in place earlier.
