Can You Crane a Caravan Over a House?

HiLine Cranes • Feb 14, 2023

Need help moving your caravan over your house? HiLine Cranes offers 24/7 professional crane hire in Sydney. Let us handle all your heavy lifting needs!

In Australia, having a static caravan is typical given the fact that these vehicles provide the ideal vacation cottages, short-term lodging, and a simple functional living space to stay around for holiday goers.

In fact, according to the Caravan Industry Association of Australia, there are currently around 820,000 caravans and RVs that have been registered in the country as of 2022 - with a rise of about 70,000 over the previous 18 to 24 months.

This just goes to show how mobile homes have been a big hit for several Australians over recent years. However, despite their popularity, moving or transporting these mobile homes can also be very challenging.

While owners enjoy all the benefits of having a static caravan, some owners have difficulty moving it since it is not only heavy but there isn't enough space in their area for it to be moved properly.

Depending on the number of berths, or sleeping spaces it has, a 4 to 6 berth caravan usually weights an average of 1.5 to 2 tons. And apparently, the only option to move this kind of load successfully is to hire a crane company that can handle all the relocation work and caravan installation.

Can You Crane a Mobile Home?

Along with the increasing popularity of mobile homes, there has also been a significant demand for crane services.

Several mobile home owners ask whether it is possible to crane their caravan over their house, particularly on a new house or in the back garden. Fortunately, the answer is yes.

Cranes basically have the strength and dexterity to carry out practically any lift with accuracy and a high degree of safety. Not only that but they can also quickly arrive at the location and move the caravan immediately as you require.

Large cranes are huge, towering devices designed to lift and move heavy objects through the use of a projecting arm or beam. Since most cranes are built to withstand great tons of weight, they are perfect to use for relocating extremely large and heavy items such as a log cabin or a mobile home.

At times, when crane hire is not an option, there are other services, such as a contract lift, that can also be used. The contract lift is somehow similar to crane hire services, only that a contract lift may use specialised tools and added personnels to finish the job.

Reasons to Relocate Your Static Caravan

There are a variety of reasons why you might decide to get rid of the mobile homes on your property. Some of them may be any of the following:

Structural damage
Used as a temporary residence
Sold to another person
Improvement or replacement of your static caravan as a vacation home

Whatever the reason is, you need a professional crane hire to remove your caravan from your property.
