Tiny House on Wheels as ADU in San Jose

Just found out that San Jose actually allow a tiny house on wheels (THOW) park in the backyard and consider it as ADU which can get permit, even though I already have a attached ADU build in the front yard -- which I can't build another detached ADU in backyard. But this THOWs possibility made me really excited.

I plan to make it a shorten rental to pair with my tree house and my beautiful backyard. But the problem is seems I can only get it craned in (see my location plan below. all around has neighbors fences and won't have enough clearance -- today I get first quote from a crane company, to do this takes like 2-3 hour and they charge 8k-13k for crane and another 6.5k for traffic control which is in sane.

Any one have experience with crane renting? Any suggestion here?

Can you take down a section of fence and posts and reinstall after? This seems like it would be much cheaper even if you had a fence company do the work.
