hoist/crane hire?

we’ve come across a snag, turns out our marble kitchen counter is too big (just) to fit up the stairs to the 3rd floor.

Apart from cutting it in half right down the middle (which seems like the most likely option), I’d like to know if anyone has ever hired a crane/hoist before and how much an hour these things cost.

I’ll be hitting the internet tomorrow but if you have some reccomendations now is the time to through them out there.

The counter weighs about 1050 pounds and needs to go 40′ to the roof (fits real easy down one flight to the 3rd floor and in the front door).

Cheers,
Dean
