Placing Tiny House with Crane: Everything You Need to Know

Why use a Faucet for your Tiny House?

Putting up a tiny house can be a challenge, especially when your location is difficult to access. Fortunately, crane placement the perfect solution. At Tiny Wonder, we have the expertise and a network of reliable crane companies throughout Belgium to place your tiny house exactly where you want it - even over obstacles.

What is Crane placement?

Crane placement means that we lift your tiny house with a professional crane and place it over obstacles. This could be:

Across a property - When your tiny house should be in the backyard
Over a tall hedge - If there is no other access to your plot
About a garage or outbuilding - For installation behind existing structures
Over trees or other natural obstacles - To keep nature intact

How Does Placing with a Crane Work?

Step 1: Site inspection

Beforehand, the crane firm comes on site to check the situation. They check:

Crane accessibility
The height of obstacles
The length of the distance to be covered
The weight of your tiny house
The substrate and stability
The exact placement of your tiny house

Based on these factors, one determines which type of crane needed for your specific situation.

Step 2: Planning

Based on the inspection, they then make a detailed placement plan:

The type of crane needed (depending on weight, height and length)
The optimal position for the crane
Safety measures
The timetable

Step 3: The placement

On the appointed day, the crane firm then arrives with:

A suitable crane (reach well over a house)
Your tiny house on trailer
An experienced crane operator from one of our reliable partner firms

Your tiny house is expertly lifted and placed in the desired location with precision.

Practical information

What Do You Need?

Crane access
The crane needs sufficient space to stand and manoeuvre. We discuss this during the site inspection.

The spot where your tiny house will be placed must be flat and stable. We will be happy to advise you on the right foundation.

Cost of crane placement

The costs for crane placement are transparent and honest. The hourly rate varies between €115 and €160 per hour excl. VAT, depending on:

Type of crane
The type of crane is determined by a combination of factors:

Weight of your tiny house (varies by model between 3,500-7,000 kg)
Height to be bridged (height of house, trees or other obstacles)
Length of the distance to be covered (from crane position to installation site)

The heavier your tiny house and the greater its height and length, the heavier the crane should be.

Crane firm
The price varies by crane company. Tiny Wonder works with reliable firms throughout Belgium and always selects the best option for your location and budget.

Duration of placement
Most placements take between 2 and 5 hours, depending on the complexity. For a standard placement, you can count on €375-€960 to crane costs.

Sample calculation

Easy placement close distance from crane firm (low hedge, short distance): 3 hours × €125 = €375 excluding VAT
Average placement (over garage, medium distance): 4 hours × €140 = €560 excluding VAT
Complex placement (over home, long distance): 6 hours × €160 = €960

During the site inspection, we will give you an accurate estimate of the cost for your specific situation.
