Townhouse movers equipped with a crane in NYC?

I gotta say, I had to use a crane for a 2 hour delivery of floors and windows. The permits, the closing of the street, the moving of the cars, the notifying the other residents and the cost still makes me say ouch. I used Dykes Lumber then but they are not a moving company.

We are planning a move soon and occupy the top two floors of a five story townhouse. We will need to pop out a living room window and move out on pallets with a small crane. Does anyone know a good moving company that offers this service? Thanks very much

I have never seen anyone do this but it has been done. Leonard Bernstein had his grand piano moved this way.

So you might try piano movers. I bet they move other things as well. I tried to find the famous photo of them moving bernsteins piano. I could not find it but did find a whole bunch of modern nyc shots of this being done.

Allow extra time – rigging needs a permit.

If you must move out with a crane… how did you move in?
