English translation:lifting (with a crane)
Explanation:
I can't imagine it's anything more elaborate than "lifting". If you need to be elaborate, I'd use "lifting onto roof with crane" in your example. See the link below for this:

"Levering og opkraning. Kvistene leveres altid med lastvogn med påsiddende kran. Det er vigtigt for os, at vide lidt omkring tilkørselsforhold og afstand til fjerneste kvistlokation. Dvs vi skal bruge et mål frahvor lastbil kan parkere og hvor langt der er til bagerste kvist, samt hvilke forhindringer der er på vejen (luftledninger, andre bygninger mv. Det bedste er at sende os en oversigtsplan med angivelse af højder.
Kviste kan også bare leveres ved fortorvskant og I kan så selv forestå opkraning via lokal vognmand, når I er klar."

Reference information:
This is in Norwegian, but maybe it will be of help. It refers to "oppkraning" of a boat.
