Vertical Access for an Icon of Global Architecture

Project Overview
Standing at a symbolic height of 1776 ft (the year of the signing of the United States Declaration of Independence), One World Trade Center is the tallest building in the United States, the Western Hemisphere, and the seventh-tallest in the world. Located in Lower Manhattan, this architectural landmark is the centerpiece of the rebuilt World Trade Center complex and opened its doors on November 3, 2014.

Customer: BrandSafway by SafwayAtlantic
Location: New York City, USA
Segment: High-rise
Status: Completed

Challenge
Constructing a building of this magnitude required exceptional planning and execution. With extreme height, limited urban space, and complex logistics, the project demanded a vertical transport solution that could handle high volumes of passengers, materials, and equipment, safely and efficiently.

RAXTAR Solution
To meet these demands, RAXTAR provided 13 RX3245SF construction hoists to our valued partner BrandSafway by SafwayAtlantic. These hoists were deployed over a period of nearly four years, supporting every phase of construction from foundation to final façade.

The RX3245SF hoists were chosen for their:

High load capacity and speed

Robust design for long-term deployment

Advanced RX Control System for performance monitoring and operational safety

Outcome
RAXTAR’s hoists played a vital role in the successful realization of One World Trade Center, contributing to:

↗ Safe and efficient vertical transport across all levels

↗ Improved site logistics and reduced downtime

↗ Reliable performance over an extended construction timeline

This project stands as a testament to RAXTAR’s ability to support world-class construction with innovative and dependable vertical access solutions.
