Granny Flat & Tiny Home Crane Hire
Prefab granny flats, tiny homes, cabins and studios lifted over houses and into backyards
Crane2U lifts prefabricated granny flats, tiny homes, cabins, studios and pods into backyards and onto footings across Melbourne and regional Victoria. We work with builders, manufacturers, transport companies and homeowners, and can supply transport as well as the lift.
Most of these jobs mean lifting a large, light-to-medium load a long way over a house. Reach, not weight, usually decides the crane, so we size it from where it can set up in the street to the furthest corner of the footprint.

Planning a Granny Flat Lift
Send us the building’s weight and dimensions (from the manufacturer), the address, and a photo of the front of the house and the backyard. We work out the reach, where the crane and truck can set up, and whether powerlines, trees or neighbours’ roofs are in the way. We use spreader bars and the manufacturer’s lift points so the building isn’t racked or damaged.
A crane on the road or footpath usually needs a council permit and traffic management. We can help arrange both, and supply electrical spotters where powerlines are close. Need it delivered too? We combine the lift with heavy haulage.
Can a crane lift a granny flat over my house?
Usually, yes. We size the crane by the building weight and the reach from the street to its final position.
What do you need to quote a granny flat lift?
The building weight and dimensions, the address, and photos of the front of the house and the backyard.
Can you transport the granny flat as well?
Yes. We can combine the lift with heavy haulage transport.
Do I need a council permit?
If the crane sets up on the road or footpath, a council permit and traffic management are often needed. We can help arrange them.
Can you lift a tiny home off its trailer?
Yes, using the manufacturer’s lift points and spreader bars.
