The crane GMK 6400 has been used to install four steel pedestals weighing 96 tons each and serving as the foundation, and the choice of 450 ton all-terrain crane was based on its capacity and maneuverability on the site, as the maximum time frame allowed was only one week to perform the lifts.

The crane was provided by New York Crane and Equipment, which also contributed engineering services on site prior to each lift and once the Ferris wheels will be completed in early 2018, the city officials expect to bring more than three million visitors to Staten Island per year.
