A boom truck for small units on low roofs. A mid-size mobile crane when the unit is heavy or sits far back from the edge.
What moves the price
Unit weight, distance from the crane to the curb, roof height and whether the street has to be closed. Downtown jobs often need a traffic control permit.

PICKHVAC puts the crane part of a simple rooftop swap around $500 to $2,500. Riggers, travel and permits are extra. Numbers come from national guides (BigRentz, PICKHVAC), not KC quotes.
Save money
Have the curb adapter ready, the old unit disconnected and the new one staged. Schedule two swaps on the same day if you can.
