Yes — all Expandify homes require crane installation. A minimum 20-tonne Franna crane is used for every standard delivery.
- Minimum overhead clearance: 4.5 metres
- Ground slope must not exceed 250mm over every 5 metres
- Sites with difficult terrain, slope, or obstructions may require upgraded lifting methods
Larger cranes may be quoted if trees, slope, or access restrictions prevent standard lifting. Reach out to our team early if your site has known obstructions.
