Can I use a crane if I have no Access For My Hot Tub?
Some clients who have terrace houses or not enough access round the side of the house may require the use of a crane to lift the hot tub over the house.
A site survey must be done in order for crane deliveries to take place. A level ground must be nearby with overhead clearance in order for crane lifts to happen. We recommend you call a few companies from the yellow pages before you commit to a company.
When I had my first hot tub delivered we manually positioned it and this took 6 people which to be honest was hard work. A year and half later We were planning to move and so had to lift the hot tub out. This was due to our neighbour building a shed and therefore blocking our access.
I was a bit anxious due to the crane reach needed was huge but we found a company who manage to lift the huge hot tub sucessfully. It was a tight fit and had bad visions of the tub falling through our neighbours roof. The crane driver was very precise and worked professionally with his colleague with no problems.
Prices range from £200-£800 depending on the size of the crane. This normally includes the insurance.
