Mini Crane and Spa Dolly Precision in Tight Access Jobs

At Reach Cranes, we specialise in spa pool moving in Hamilton, using our capable 4×4 mini crane to navigate tight gates, lawns, fences, balconies and hedges. Our crane can pass through a 2.2-metre gate and cross lawns to place your spa pool exactly where you want it, even working around neighbouring driveways, footpaths, or reserves for difficult site access.

When crane access isn’t possible, our imported Spa Dolly from the USA comes into play. It glides the spa pool sideways over soft grass, gravel or paved areas. There’s no damage and no fuss, when expertly handled by our two-person team. While the mini crane remains our go-to tool thanks to its 7-metre horizontal reach from our Ford Ranger, we also offer larger cranes with 20-metre or even 30-metre reach for those exceptional jobs across the North Island.

Key Takeaways

  • Reach Cranes uses compact 4×4 mini cranes for tight access moves
  • Our Spa Dolly travels over grass or gravel with no damage to spa or yard
  • Ideal for Hamilton and Cambridge properties with fences, hedges or stairs
  • Extended crane reach available for balcony or roof-level placements
  • Full relocation service including planning and site assessment

What to Prepare Before We Arrive

For the smoothest spa pool move:

  • Clear access: Minimum 870-mm wide path
  • Check overhead: Avoid obstructions like tree limbs or power lines
  • Remove obstacles: Clear the route of garden furniture and debris
  • Stair access: Up to six consecutive stairs; extra helpers may be required

Chat with our team beforehand if your site has stairs or other access complexities. We’ll walk you through the best approach.

Real Results with Hamilton’s and Cambridge’s Most Reliable Spa Pool Movers

Typical spa deliveries only get you to the front door or depot. We take it further. Whether it’s a 400-kg spa or a large swim spa, our spa pool moving specialists in Hamilton and Cambridge make sure it reaches its final spot without hassle.

From lifting onto high balconies using our mini crane to rolling across tennis courts with a Spa Dolly, we’ve tackled the tough ones and delivered every time. Our team understands that access issues vary. Sometimes the spa is at the back of a tight suburban property, other times it’s destined for a rural deck or up a sloped paddock.

We often rely on neighbouring driveways or open reserve land to stage the crane safely, communicating with clients and neighbours to ensure minimal disruption. Even when the final spot isn’t reachable by crane, the Spa Dolly lets us take over and complete the move with total control.

If your spa needs to go over a house, we’ve done that too. With our larger Hiabs and skilled rigging, we’ve successfully lifted spas over rooftops where no other access existed.

When Should You Use the Spa Dolly Over the Crane?

While our Hiab cranes are preferred for overhead lifts and positioning spas on decks or balconies, not every site allows crane access. The Spa Dolly shines when:

  • The spa needs to move through side gates or down narrow side paths
  • Ground conditions are too soft or unstable for a truck-mounted crane
  • Overhead wires or trees prevent safe crane lifting
  • You need to travel across lawns, gravel, or garden paths without damaging them

With just a two-person team, the Spa Dolly offers incredible flexibility while protecting both the spa and property. We use padded rollers and maintain our dolly system to manufacturer standards.
