Not usually. Most installations can be handled with a dolly or other simple equipment. 

However, if access to the site is blocked or difficult, a crane or picker truck might be the only way in. Of course, if you're putting a spa on a rooftop, high balcony or other difficult to access locations, a crane will have to execute the delivery. 

An Arctic Spas representative will have to come to your home and make that determination, so if you have any concerns about the installation be sure let your dealer know.
