That's a shame. It has to be a crane as my garage is made of wood so not enough strenght.

Scaffold Poles for a frame, (Two A frames, and a pair of poles accross the top, plus a bit of bracing to stop it falling over sideways or collapsing).
then use a chain block. Cheap and controllable.
Also the scaffold poles can be stored easily when dismantled.

Probably not as easy as a crane, but cheap and cheerful.

You could also hire a crane for a weekend.

Or use a pole or some wood and 4 big mates to lift while you guide it in and do the manouvering etc.

Just my 2d's worth.
