I don't think I'm alone in that using a crane seems a bit extreme but I purchase a jacuzzi that we couldn't get through our doorway. So I started calling around to find an affordable crane service. I was recommended by a friend to call Champion Crane. This morning they arrived early and within 30mins they were packing up and gone. Our jacuzzi is now in its desired location and my pocketbook is still intact.

Jeremy, so happy to be able to help you out. Hope you and the family are enjoying your Jacuzzi. It was cool seeing your son do the drone video. Stay well!

Tony and his team are the best crane company in all of Bay Area. I was so impressed with Tony's professionalism, call to action with the tedious job I gave him, and his strong and positive attitude in getting it done!
His business manager, Kathy, is also just as quick in response, caring and thoughtful and helped walk me through the whole process of making sure I was compliant with the city every step of the way.
The project: we live in a midsized building in San Francisco and needed a crane to bring our refrigerator through our 4th floor window. We were able to get the job done safely and in a great time frame.
Look no further if you need a crane for any project. Tony and his team are your answer.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0Business owner information

I was really nervous about having a stranger use a large crane to lift my fridge over my house. They were very forgiving and put up with my weird questions. Next time I have to lift something heavy over my house; I'm calling them.

Kathy and Tony at Champion Crane were a pleasure to work with. Kathy helped tremendously in finding a solution to getting my swimspa craned and manually moved by another vendor to a tricky part of my backyard. Their rate was the best of the east Bay Area crane companies I called. Tony was a pro in getting the spa on and off the flatbed truck of my mover. I may never need a crane for the rest of my life, but if I do, I know who to call!

Andrew, it was our pleasure to work with you. I'm so glad we were able to help get the swim spa out of the first location and with the help of Jeff at Tri Valley Movers, get the spa in your backyard. Tony makes it look so easy!! Thank you for the kind review and the photos!

Couldn't be happier with this company! They helped us put our commercial freezers and refrigerators upstairs through a skylight and it went very smooth and quick. They price was well worth the work they performed. Highly recommended.

Champion Crane are really great!! I scheduled appointment in one week advance and they were in time. Unfortunately, I forgot to cancel appointment as was too buzzy. I've never got text or email with appointment confirmation, heads up phone call, "on my way notification" or others "silly" things. So, definitely my fault which is cost me almost five hundred dollars! Don't repeat my mistakes guys:)

This was a misfortunate mistake at your end. It happens, and we understand that. Our policy is that once the job is scheduled it is set and no further heads up calls or texts are made. And we charge the travel time or the 2 hr min depending on the situation if the job is not canceled within 24 hours. I am not sure a 1 star review is fair being we did nothing wrong. I hope we can work together in the future.

Although we needed different equipment for our project, when we called- Champion Crane happily referred us to companies that could help us. Plus Champion Crane told us the specs we would need to tell another company about our project.
That was pretty awesome !Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0Business owner information

If you want to know what pure class looks like, hire Champion Crane! On time to the minute, under budget and perfect. They lifted my hot tub over my two story house, navigated thru trees, lowered the packaged into the perfect spot with inches to spare. Champion Crane got their name right, it could not have gone better! I can not thank them enough!

I can't wait to share this review with Tony! Not every crane lift is the same and some make you more proud of your work than others. Doing your tub was one of those jobs. Challenge accepted and DONE !! More importantly done safely. Thank you for the opportunity to help you and for your kind review.

I purchased two large mirrors for our penthouse which we weren't able to carry through our four-story home not because of weight (only 13lbs each) but because of their size. Desperate to find a solution I stumbled upon Champion Crane on Yelp. I was able to make an appointment within a week. Tony tied up the mirrors and hoisted them up to our rooftop patio where I received them. The whole process from start to finish only took about 30min and our penthouse dance studio is now complete. I highly recommend Champion Crane and will definitely call them again for future projects up on the top floor!

We used Champion Crane to move a hot tub off a second story deck and onto a truck for a move. They were incredibly easy to work with and responsive in planning. They were able to assess the job and give an accurate quote over the phone on the first call. On the day of the move, Tony was quick and efficient. I would highly recommend them for any of your crane needs!

HUSTLEandMUSCLE is a moving company serving the Bay Area and specializes in hot tub moving. Got in touch with champion crane and gave them the job details we had. A client of mine was bringing in a brand new hot tub that needed to be craned up and in - onto a second story deck. Booking champion crane was extremely easy, they accommodated my date needed, looked over google earth and gave me quote. Showed up on time and did the job perfect
