Spider Supplies Equipment for New York’s New Museum of Contemporary Art

Seattle-based Spider, a division of SafeWorks LLC, recently supplied suspended access equipment and rigging services for the installation of the unique façade on New York’s new Museum of Contemporary Art.

Spider sold 14 SC1000 traction hoists and rented eight swing stages and a variety of outrigger beams to M.G. McGrath, the contractor responsible for constructing the building’s one-of-a-kind façade.

Exclusively designed for this museum, the exterior cladding combined extruded aluminum wall panels and an expanded metal mesh covering. Spider’s reliable equipment and expert rigging services were required to install this material on a building constructed of six off-kilter stacked boxes. The staggered design, narrow site location, and cluster of existing buildings and busy streets below presented access challenges, but Spider delivered innovative, timely and safe solutions to get the job done.

The museum’s new home in Manhattan opened last week, coinciding with the institution’s 30th anniversary.

Founded in 1946, Spider, a division of SafeWorks LLC, is No. 75 on the RER 100.
