2 months agoIf you are looking for a crane service, you can stop looking. Champion Crane is as good as it gets. I ordered a 42" fridge that ended up being too wide to make the turn up my outside stairs. So, a crane would be the only way, as it needed to be lifted onto the balcony over the garage. Crane was very responsive and I was able to schedule the delivery people and them for a date and time only a couple of weeks away. It took less than one hour to crane the new fridge up and take the old one down (see pics). Not only was the service amazing, the price was remarkably reasonable. And, Tony and Kathy just happen to be really great people. I cannot recommend them any more highly for any large items like fridges, hot tubs, beams... You can't go wrong. -
