Sat atop the iconic 30 Rockefeller Plaza, the Skylift is a new attraction that redefines the guest experience at this iconic part of the New York City skyline. Designed to elevate visitors 30 feet above the Observation Deck on the 70th floor, this 360-degree rotating attraction offers visitors a breathtaking view of Manhattan, creating an experience that’s unlike any other. Commissioned by Tishman Speyer, owners of Rockefeller Center, and brought to life in collaboration with The Hettema Group, TAIT was commissioned to handle the engineering, fabrication, and installation of this incredible project.
