Please don't use a cherry picker for lifting anything other than
personnel and small work equipment, it's illegal and deadly
dangerous. You have been warned!
Have you considered using a fork-lift truck - both to move it and
lift it into position?
I did but the problem is that the beam would be perpendicular to the
direction of motion so would need a 7m wide path to the garden -
unfortunately it is only 3m. A fork lift truck which could travel
sideways would do the trick but not seen one.
In that case, maybe you need a side-loader - see
