Summer is go-time in the construction world. Across New Jersey, job sites come alive with activity, deadlines tighten, and heavy lifting becomes a daily necessity. At Helix Crane & Rigging, summer is our busiest and most demanding season—and we’re built for it.
From high-temperature safety protocols to flawless lift execution, we’ve developed proven systems that keep our crews, equipment, and clients protected no matter how hot it gets.
Here’s why summer is peak lifting season—and how Helix handles it like pros.
1. Why Summer Is Peak Season for Crane & Rigging Work
The summer months are when most major construction, infrastructure, and industrial projects go full steam.
Why? Longer daylight hours, fewer weather delays, and accelerated timelines to complete work before fall. From HVAC rooftop lifts to cell tower installations and structural steel placement, cranes are in high demand—and booked fast.
At Helix Crane & Rigging, we scale our operations to meet summer demand. We plan ahead, stay flexible, and maintain fast deployment times across New Jersey.
2. Unique Challenges of Working in Summer Heat
Summer isn’t just busy—it’s brutal. Temperatures soar, equipment heats up, and crews face long days under the sun. Heat exhaustion, sun glare, and hydration concerns are real risks on the job site.
That’s why Helix implements strict safety measures during every lift. We rotate crews, schedule jobs during cooler parts of the day when possible, and perform additional equipment checks when heat stress is a factor.
We know that a great lift is only great if it’s safe—from start to finish.
3. How Helix Preps Crews and Equipment for High-Heat Jobs
Before every job, we prep not just the gear—but the people.
Our operators and riggers are trained to monitor heat exposure, wear lightweight safety gear, and follow hydration and rest protocols. Meanwhile, our cranes are inspected for heat-related issues like hydraulic fluid expansion, brake performance, and tire pressure on mobile units.
Helix Crane & Rigging brings a next-level attention to detail to every summer lift. We don’t cut corners—we plan for them.
4. Safety First—Even Under Tight Schedules
We know summer construction projects run on tight timelines—but no deadline is more important than safety.
Helix works closely with general contractors, engineers, and site supervisors to ensure lifts are timed perfectly within project constraints while still following all OSHA safety standards.
We hold daily safety briefings, conduct on-site evaluations, and never proceed without total clarity from ground to boom.
That’s why contractors across New Jersey rely on Helix to execute when the heat is on.
