This project involved the complete relocation of a 6.0m x 3.2m tiny home / prefab module, including crane loading, transport, and precision placement at a rural property in regional Victoria.
The operation required a coordinated approach combining lifting, transport logistics, and accurate final positioning to ensure the structure was placed safely onto prepared footings.
Complex Rigging and Crane Loading
One of the main challenges in this job was the non-standard base frame of the tiny home. Unlike conventional modules, the frame required careful rigging configuration to ensure balanced lifting and structural stability during the crane operation.
Proper planning and experienced crane operation were essential to ensure the module could be lifted safely without placing stress on the frame or structure.
Transport Using a Super Tilt Crane Truck
Once loaded, the tiny home was transported from Melbourne to regional Victoria using a specialist super tilt crane truck, allowing the entire process — load, transport, and unload — to be completed efficiently with a single vehicle.
Using integrated crane transport equipment significantly reduces handling risks while improving overall operational efficiency.
Precision Placement onto Raised Footings
Upon arrival at the rural site, the final stage required precise crane placement onto pre-prepared raised footings.
Accurate positioning was critical, requiring millimetre-level adjustments to ensure the structure aligned correctly with the supports and maintained structural stability.
This stage highlights the importance of skilled crane operation when installing modular structures and tiny homes.
