If access routes are narrow or the oven needs to be placed in a secluded garden, creativity is required. In this case the customer opted for a crane delivery: the Valoriani Baby was safely lifted over the house by a hire crane and set down in the garden.
Why a crane delivery can make sense
Narrow gates, many steps, long paths or a backyard without direct access — all of these can complicate transporting a pizza oven. A suitable crane can often overcome such obstacles elegantly. Careful preparation and coordination between everyone involved are essential.
Planning the handover
Coordination and preparation
- Confirm model, dimensions and weight so the contractor can choose the appropriate crane or lifting gear.
- Check access routes on site (lifting point, space to set down the oven, ground conditions).
- Coordinate the crane appointment with any shipping or installation dates, if applicable.
- Establish a safety zone and arrange any necessary helpers.
- Depending on the location, official permits or closures may be required — please clarify this in advance with the contractor you hire.
On site: positioning and first checks
- Set the oven down at the prepared location and align it.
- Check the base surface (level, load-bearing and suitable for outdoor exposure).
- Plan subsequent steps such as the initial burn-in and preparing accessories in good time.
Versatile baking in your own garden
Once the oven is in place, it's time to enjoy: besides classic pizza, the Valoriani Baby also excels at oven dishes such as roasted vegetables, antipasti, roasted meats, as well as bread and cakes.
