I would think a forklift even with 2 lifts involved will be cheaper and less damaging to the ground than a crane. Cranes are not cheap rentals. Plus rigging to lift the present and new "Park Model" could be tricky and time ($$$) consuming as I suspect they are not designed for that type of lifting. Check out Sunbelt Rentals in Manchester to see what they would charge for a forklift or maybe someone local has one. Google for local rigging companies who are capable for the job you want done. VitaBene suggested a local crane operator he knew of and I would contact them.
Mating up will only require lifting the trailer a few inches, which will be easy once in place. The biggest question is whether it would be easier to move deck and porch or try to go over both.

I'll be calling the recommended crane place soon and will post my findings.
