Delivering a million dollar home in LA! Well now this is something different from my usual work! Rotators get compared to cranes a lot and in this video you see the true difference between the two. Hulk, my 50ton rotator, is a versatile truck with crane like capabilities. I'm able to arrive on scene and be fully setup within minutes to start working immediately. When I complete my job, again just minutes and I'm fully put away ready to roll.

The crane here is a large one and just shows how much more powerful they are for certain jobs. Where as Hulk can quickly rig and lift things, the crane takes tons more time to setup with a whole crew operating it, but it can do insane tasks such as lifting a literal home and swinging it into a backyard. Obviously for my line of work, I need the power and speed to get in and out of jobs, you wouldn't hire a crane for a basic container lift or rollover. But at the same time my boom is vastly limited in terms of how much I can lift and how far out.

As you'll see here, this crane picked up the house, reaching over the semi, lifted it with precision and then skied it high and swung onto a platform with surgical precision. Even by my standards this was TOUGH due to it being in a small alley way, trees and a house to worry about hitting. They take time to setup but once setup, these things are like Godzilla! Huge props and shout out to Bragg crane for the phenomenal job here.

As for the home, I misspoke in the beginning of the video before being corrected, but this area is called Silverlake. And let me tell you, LA home prices are bad as it is but it is very expensive here with houses averaging 1.3 million on the low end for this block. I can only imagine what this "little" prefab home would cost to buy since it comes with its own land and yard. Not my cup of tea with a family, but maybe a bachelor or couple with good jobs in the area.

Either way, the job was very fun and I was happy to see these cranes in action up close and personal. What did you guys think of this one? Don't forget to head to www.pepestowla.com/shop after the video and grab your cool Pepe's swag and 2024 calendar to represent your favorite tow company!
