BMU on Top of Crown Tower Sydney
The BMU in question is located on the Crown Tower in Sydney, an impressive structure standing at a towering height of 271.3 meters (890 ft).

Preparation of the task
To ensure utmost safety and provide an added layer of security, the Building Maintenance Unit (BMU) used for Chris Hemsworth’s daring walk on the jib was modified for his walk.
A sturdy cage was installed on top of the BMU, creating a protective enclosure for Hemsworth during the breathtaking feat. This modification served as a precautionary measure, offering Hemsworth a stable and secure platform to navigate as he conquered the heights.
With the caged structure in place, the BMU provided an optimal combination of functionality and safety, enabling Hemsworth to focus on the task at hand while ensuring his well-being throughout the exhilarating crane walk.
