40-Foot Lift Banner Installation at New York Presbyterian Church

High-Access Custom Banners Installed at New York Presbyterian Church Using 40-Foot Articulating Lift

Alexandria, United States – June 3, 2026 / CSI Printing & Graphics /

csi2.com recently completed a full-service custom banners project at New York Presbyterian Church, deploying a 40-foot articulating lift to execute high-access installation work safely and precisely. The project required removing existing banners and mounting hardware before introducing a new bracket system anchored directly into the building’s brick facade – a scope that called for careful coordination of equipment, safety protocols, and production expertise.

High-Access Installation With Purpose-Built Equipment

The technical demands of the New York Presbyterian Church project centered on elevation and structural integrity. To reach the installation points safely, the csi2.com crew brought in a 40-foot articulating lift, which provided the range of motion necessary to work against the brick facade at height without compromising worker safety or building materials.

Once positioned, the team dismantled the existing banners and removed all legacy hardware from the facade. In their place, Spring-Loaded Banner Brackets were drilled and anchored directly into the brick, creating a secure and durable mounting foundation designed to hold banners through varying weather conditions. The spring-loaded design allows for banner changes without requiring additional lift equipment for routine swaps, offering the client a practical long-term solution.

Banner installation at elevation carries risks that are distinct from ground-level work. The articulating lift allowed the crew to position precisely at each bracket point, reducing the need for manual overreach and ensuring each anchor point was drilled and set with accuracy. This approach reflects the kind of methodical site management that high-access projects at established institutions require.

Premium Production on a Rho 512+ Digital Printer

Alongside the structural work, csi2.com handled the full production of the custom banners in-house. The double-sided banners were printed on a Rho 512+ digital printer using Ultramesh blockout 2-sided material – a substrate selected for its ability to prevent bleed-through between the two print faces while maintaining color clarity and durability when displayed outdoors.

The banners were finished with welded pockets, a reinforcement method that strengthens the edges of the banner where tension from the spring-loaded brackets is most concentrated. Welded pockets hold up under repeated stress cycles and wind load more reliably than sewn or heat-sealed alternatives, making them a practical match for a high-traffic exterior installation like the one at New York Presbyterian Church.

The combination of the Rho 512+ printer’s output quality and the Ultramesh blockout material means the banners present clearly from both sides – an important detail for a church setting where foot traffic and vehicle traffic may approach the building from multiple angles.

A Full-Service Approach From Production to Installation

The New York Presbyterian Church project illustrates what a coordinated banner installation looks like when production and field work are handled by the same team. Rather than sourcing fabrication separately from installation, csi2.com managed both phases under one workflow – from printing the custom banners to operating the lift equipment and drilling the anchor points.

This structure reduces handoff errors and keeps project timelines tighter. For a client like New York Presbyterian Church, where the building’s exterior reflects the institution’s public presence, having a single team accountable for both material quality and installation precision carries practical value.

The completed project left the church with a new bracket infrastructure built for longevity and banners produced to a specification that supports exterior display through seasonal changes. The Ultramesh blockout material and welded-pocket construction are both selected with durability in mind, which aligns with the demands of a permanent outdoor installation on a brick facade.
