Delivering a million dollar home in LA

- 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!

Was super fun to witness the massive crane in action up close. What did you guys think of that brute force yet agile and precise job from them?
That was really precise handling and placement in an awkward location. Those guys are really pros.
Great video! I kept holding my breath when they levitated. I have to say it looked like only half a house.
WOW! Really good vid!
Bad ass. I would like to see what the place looks like when it all done.
I'm amazed that they decided to do this instead of building on site. Waiting for round two.......
Proud auntie here!!! That's my niece Maria driving that truck. I'm beyond proud of her, she's a momma and a hustler. I was full of emotions watching this video rooting her on. Everyone did an astounding job, you're all amazing at what you do 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Ya her backing up skills are crazy. Managed to hug the curb without hitting the rims and didn’t need to be side winched to get it in 💪💪💪💪
Your niece has crazy skills ! Respect !
Did it… successful delivery 💪🏼
Tell her make a channel we want to watch more of her skills. Kudos to Maria
@@msnpassjan2004 thank you
Holy crap! I can't even imagine spending that kind of money to put that tiny house down on that tiny space lol, astounding! Great job everyone!
Californians exceed in stupidity.
Same here, it would be much easier to build it on site.
@@asalvano Just shows you people with money do the stupidest things.
and probably better quality@@asalvano
@@davep6977 100%. I was a carpenter for 8 years and can say you're better off building your own home or hiring a good crew. These tiny homes are built cheap, with nails that are the wrong size so everything starts to come apart. I'm sure after that crane right some things came apart.
Mr Josh. In my opinion, your should be way over 100,000. Always excellent content , professional rigging and equipment. Thanks for sharing and stay safe
Shooooot I wish lol. Maybe if I had a promo team and advertised and begged for subscribers but I like to keep it simple. Just pump out my content the way I like and let it grow organically. As long as you guys are happy, I'm happy
Oh damn you're almost 1/3 of my subscribers! Congrats yourself!
@@PepesTowingService give it a few months and you'll be at 250k at the least. Your videos are well done and almost addicting to watch
This tiny house construction would almost be comparable to a single or even half of a double-wide mobile home, but without the wheeled undercarriage. I'm surprised the company constructing these modular homes don't have a portable dolly-wheel system to deliver them. For years many mobile-homes have been permanently placed on top of a 2-3 foot raised concrete foundation. It's quite similar to living in a regular house. I have seen some lifted up like this and set back down. You'll find them in cities and on acreages. But this modular home construction is big now and placing them side-by-side and stacking them offers lots of living place. Nice job how you all delivered it in this tight space.
Eeexactly, it looks that somebody just bought that and tried to organize transport without any idea
That driver has some Serious driving skills
I still can't believe it's less expensive to do all this for such small square footage than it is to just build one on site.
Probably made-to-order at a boutique, curated double-wide fab shop ;) Here in Oklahoma yer super-fancy if you get your trailer home tied down against tornadoes.
I was going to say the same thing - seems stupid to prebuild the whole thing, and then try to shove it down the narrowest steepest street possible in one go. Just bring the pieces to the site and build it there ffs
Time < Money much faster this way, it's definitely more expensive but they can have the home ready less then a week after foundation is poured.
It's less because these homes are built under a certain price. We worked on these type of manufactured home both setting them on their foundation plus finishing the inside. We set 2 halves, married them together raised the roof and I hated the cheap ass things. Good look to the owner. They'll need it more than likely 😢😢😢😢
There is also the noise and disruption of Nailing onsite ..Neighbors there complain easily and can cause trouble if there is excess Noise.
I the young lady mad credit for gettin her rig into such a mad tight area… even if it takes 10-15 times don’t give up… another epic video Josh an Hulk
First time on this channel. This is amazing and to see a WOMAN DRIVING THIS RIG WHICH IS EXCEPTIONALLY AWESOME 👏🏻
That was good driving. But had Pepe gotten behind it sooner he could have picked the back and shifted it to get it in quicker.
You could see she was gonna get that turn right no matter what. Impressive help from the rotator, and skill from the crane crew. Good thing it wasn't a windy day!
That’s me
@@mariamiranda6191 Great job! Those were some tight quarters to maneuver in for sure.
Thank you I take pride in what I do
I was stupid I looked at Her and said nah. She's not just good Her front tire was exact no wiggle. I drove there some She made me look Sick. I've gone for less than a foot six inches each side but She split an inch. I mean Cmon that's no contest. I wish I Drove that well.
2000 dollars per hour from the shop!! Some of the best money to be made in construction is specialized heavy lifts. Be safe
Oh I bet. Worth it too, this is not an area you'd want to cut corners and save on finding the cheapest lol
@@PepesTowingService It is fun to watch To the top crane he is driving one of those, there is a lot of work planning the lift with the weight, distance and how much counterweights that is needed.
you better be good for 2000 an hour
The stress might take you out early though lol@@PepesTowingService
Definitely not 2000 an hour
impressive work, most wouldn't wanna record because of potential mistakes but these guys always make difficult recoveries look easy!
They are awesome.
That giggle when it's finally airborne. Such a kid playing with boys toys. Love it dude. 🤣
That was one heck of a job. Great job josh getting her down the hill and back out! That crane operator has some great skills setting that house precisely down on the foundation! Great video Josh!
Keep in mind this was a collaborative effort between 3 different entities that have never worked together before. It's nice to see the professionalism shown by all involved. Great job!
Nice Job Josh & That Gal Is A Incredibley Good Driver, I've Been There in More Than 40 Year's of Driving Myself 👍👍👍👍👍
All drivers can relate to her frustration, once in a while you face that one job!!
Josh alleviated some of that frustration when assisted, just my opinion. Great job to all
Living in the UK I had to laugh every time you mentioned how tiny the streets are. 😂 That road is wider than some of our motorways. 😂
Everything is relative.
That's why we cant use yank trucks just to long and awkward for UK compare to say a 4x2 Scania or Volvo tractor unit, .great and competent wok though well done guys .
@@PepesTowingServiceyou are just missing rear steering axles lol
@@miles5600 …and auto leveling for the trailer.
@@FrankLassowski yup, no need to worry about trailers scraping the curbs or tilted to one side. The US is so behind in all sorts of stuff including that and whenever you tell this to an American their response is: it costs too much, not needed, not maintenance friendly.
I have done jobs with Bragg crane.
Delivered phone buildings in CA on rail site pads. Great people to work with .
Very professional and hard workers. Was glad to see everyone hustling and no typical lazy supervisor types just standing around.
Who says girls can't drive trucks?? It's not about getting it perfect on the first try. It's about getting it perfect who gives a crap about how many tries it takes?? SUPER COOL video!!! It's not all about Pepe's. it's about "Check out this cool job we helped out with". Crane work is fascinating!! There is so much that goes into it that you don't see during the actual lift. EVERYTHING is carefully plotted out beforehand. A beautiful cooperative effort by everyone involved!!
im a driver, none of us get it perfect every time. It's very easy to get into ones head and mess up your backing several times in a row lol happens to me all the time, as long as you dont damage something then i dont see why it matters lol
What a really sick video ! Congrats to the driver and Pepe's of course. Drone footage would have been amazing!❤ This was on the edge if your seat tense. Josh, your skills are very good. Very impressive!!❤❤
Alex, have you ever considered teaching? New Heavy duty operators would really benefit from your expertise! Great job as always!
This is not Alex lol. We look and sound extremely different lol
Definitely not Alex 😅
Damn she knows how to drive that truck 👍
Ya I was like damn she managed to cut it HARD without scratching the rims. That's not an easy feat to jacknife on a trailer like that
Upstate New York Towing and Recovery Operator here. In my professional opinion this was a phenomenal recovery by you sir! Great job of driving and navigating that tight turn by that female driver! Very patient and patient and professional on all ends here! WOW! That is an extremely tiny house for that area. Regardless. Overall a very excellent and expensive recovery!! Hayes off to all involved in this recovery! You said communication is key!!
Give that girl a cigar! She is the best driver I have ever seen.
Outstanding job Josh helping the lady Driver you've gotta give Her due Her skills crib by are second to none
Thanks for showing them unload and install the "house". That was cool.
Hello Jos I live in the Netherlands Holland and every time I see a video of you what great work you are doing. I hope to come to Los Angeles in a year with my wife and I hope to see you along the way Toon, really great work
You can definitely tell she is an experienced driver and understands the dynamics of her truck. I've watched many people who don't have a clue.
I'm a certified crane junkie. That's what brought me to your channel. This was some next level shit right here...
This was the very first time out of ALL your videos where i was on the edge of my seat where the house was going down the driveway.
WOW just WOW!!!!!, female cdl driver here. I could have never done what you did here. You should be extremely proud of yourself, I'm very proud of you. 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜 💜💜💜💜
I sometimes get it wrong when backing up with a utility trailer...that lady handled that truck with all that stress like a champ. All she needed was a man to offer to help and then she nailed it. Seriously, i don't think i could have done it...certainly not any better. It's funny that the stereotype is that women can't drive because some of make great heavy machine operators...unlike men, they lean towards cautiousness.
What an incredible group of skilled technicians !!! Thanks for showing us all this Josh
I just don't understand why these trailers ride so low on the roads, without lifting possible at the suspension.
Depends on leed time. If the crane and rigging company has a yard you could drop the load at their yard then they truck it in. But this works. Speicalized Heavy haul/crane and rigging. Well they dont call them Operating Engineers for nothing.
.
From The truck driver Maria, to the guys squaring it up on it's final foundation, what a phenominal job‼️ Everyone came together like clockwork. 💪🏼😎🇺🇸
She is an awesome driver for sure. She did an incredible job getting into that sight. Thanks to hulk obviously
This structure appears to be an ADU (Accesory Dwelling Unit) that is being placed on a lot that has an existing house and a large backyard. To the commenter who mentioned "no pre-trip on the trailer", sometimes you can get lighting failures enroute so consider that. Fyi, real estate prices are insane. My L.A. childhood home is selling for $1.1 million - when my parents owned the house the mortgage was $129.00/month! Great job to all involved.
Good job. Here in Europe nobody would use such long tractor and a trailor witout steered rear axles for this transport. The guys with the crane did a good job, too. Bragg crane service has nice fleet from small to xxl cranes, matching to all types of lifting.
She drives better than most of us. Keep it safe.
The equipment envy is real 🤣 You hang out with some cool people, Josh. Awesome job 😎
That was very interesting, some tight clearances everywhere. Good job Josh, have a great week.
A million dollars for a manufactured trailer? Just another reason not to go to California, among all the other reasons not to go there.
HelLA is stupidity, no bueno 😬
I'm very proud of you guys I'm a woman truck driver and Hispanic and seen this done with a woman at the wheel and men of my Raza brought tear to my eyes well done lady's and gentlemen well done.
I drove truck for 14 years never hauled oversized. What a fantastic job lady keep up the good work !
Hi Josh what a truly awesome video I held my breath for most of the time glad it went well thanks for sharing this great experience with us. Stay safe and keep the videos coming.
Good morning from Southeast South Dakota
I been driving almost 24 years and some heavy haul. This young woman just out did what I've seen some men can't do and the boom guy awesome..team work as he said is communication Is KEY. Great job Mia's transportation.
Josh...I am not sure, hope I am wrong...but I "thought" as you stepped up into the home that the guytaking all the pictures...actually said to you "Bite me." (with a kinda smile on his face)
Lots of pressure, no doubt, but your comment "All the fuss for this..." certainly did not a merit a "Bite me" statement, half jokingly or not. JOSH, you are the million dollar worker for keeping your cool. I have seen you before and under pressure on a job, your ability to ignore rude comments serves you and Pepe's ... extremely well. Thanks for being You, Josh.
Pro’s at work,girl power showing impressive skills with a little help from Hulk!
You’re like someone doing heart surgery with a heavy wrecker. I thought you’d have one of your drivers in the semi. Wow what a job 👍🏻
Can't drive another vehicle for liability sake.
OMG! THIS WOMEN WAS AMAZING. SHE HAD ME HOLDING MY BREATH AND NERVOUS I COULD ONLY IMAGINE HOW SHE FELT THAT DELIVERY WAS HUGE!! I THOUGHT A GUY WAS DRIVING IT BUT THEN I SEEN THIS WOMEN I WAS AMAZED GOOD JOB TO EVERYONE INCLUDING PEPE TOWING.😅
You have the best videos. I'm always waiting for the next one to come out. Keep up the good, safe work.
The cost of transportation,crane and Hulk is probably more than if they would just built on site.
Or build the walls in the factory and just assemble on site.
But I guess we have to assume that someone crunched the numbers and decided this was the right way to do it 🤷♂
Kudos to the driver, that wasn't easy!! Josh, I'm sure this will be one of your most memorable jobs. Great job and thanks for taking us along on this epic video.
You guys get the interesting ones. Good crane operators have a delicate touch and a brain like a computer. Lots to be aware of during a lift. Thanks for posting.
Lady driver was great. Thanks Josh for the very interesting video!
Josh very interesting job, that driver was damn good! Thanks for sharing! Kevin
Thanks
Hey Josh !! Never know what you are gona see on these jobs for sure !!! 🤔😏😮💨😉 Great video & Thanks to staying till it landed !!! 🙂🙃😉 Have a good ""SAFE"" Week !! 🤠😎👍👍👍👍👍
Outstanding Josh, just when I start to get a little bored with all the rolled containers, you pop something totally awesome and fresh in. Fantastic.❤❤
15 minutes into this video and i already like it alot.Everyone working well together.Awesome job so far 🙌🏼
In my country, they often use big cranes like that to clear truck accidents as we don't have big rotators in the Netherlands.
Good morning Josh! Enjoy watching all your videos. Would this be a manufacturer home? Keep up good work 🎉
I noticed I wasn't a subscriber. Now I'm pulling my weight.
This one was ridiculous. Definitely a huge technical challenge for the truck driver. I like how she didn't give up when backing up that trailer. It's tight enough already and then to add three or so more feet to each side makes it just about impossible.
That crane operator and his team are on point as well.
Cool job!
Awesome equipment, and all the operators are amazing, the truck driver lady is using every inch her tire is on the curb, and turns at the exact time needed too...truck driver, crane operator, pepe, and all the riggers are all professionals 💯 Great video I watched start to finish!!!!!!
Pepe’s
Doing jobs that others can’t do!!!!
Giving you best wishes to hitting your goals ! Always interesting content and professional work ethic, stay safe and healthy, enjoy !!
Love watching people that know what they are doing and doing it well. Great video guys, thank you. Randy 👍
Great video. You, the truck driver, and the crane operator demonstrated extraordinary skills.
Truly amazing to watch. Thanks for sharing. Any way you can get the builder to send you some photos of the finished project with landscaping completed and you could share with your viewers?
wow with your cost and the crane and the trucking it would have been cheaper to build that house on site good job fun to watch
Every one hs a 6’ privacy fence on their property line,so that million dollar pkg. eill have a great view of vinyl fences or maybe a real wood fence, or maybe just the very top of neighbors roof! In my area these “ homes” are called trailers, or mobile homes, & are restricted to mobile home “parks” or courts!
It’s basically a single wide mobile home. It’s crazy how much work and money it is to install in an old LA neighborhood.
I take my hat off to the driver, cool, calm and collected. 🇺🇸🇬🇧👍
Thanks
Buenas noches, un bonito e interesante video, por lo que te corresponde , un buen trabajo, JOSH, y que bueno lo que nos has enseñado de la casa por dentro, y el montage en los cimientos, espectacular.🖐️💪👍🇪🇦❤
I think last time we had to bring out a big crane the mobilization fee was around $40k. But it had to come in on 10 or 15 different semi trucks so I guess that’s pretty fair.
Yes and that’s why I had to make it happen for my customers
we love it all, especially when you narrated all of it...
That sticker on the back of her rig/trailer means alot! WATCH FOR MOTORCYCLES! Wish the idiots on the road would be more aware for bikes. Much respect and appreciate it as a biker myself 👊🏻
y the heck don*t they use a low saddle with steerable rear axles?or does this odld-fashooned way no longer exist in the newly great again us of a???
come on, that's a bad joke there.... ^^
it's a solution out of the picturebook to the lesson "how to find the most unsuitable material for such a job"... ^^
don't they explore the workplace at all beforehand? Or do they seriously think that this job can b done in a way that "it will work somehow!?".... wow, pure professionalism, congratz.
Well, they got it done right lol
Nice working with you! Great video! Stay safe out there.
Were you part of the crane crew?
@@PepesTowingService I was the Crane Operator
@Onelastcast714 oh hell ya dude you SHINE in this video, most the comments are praising your skills. Good job again was sick to watch it go down in person
Thank you. It was a collective evolution and we got it done safely. I appreciate your videos and your hard work! Stay safe!
brute force from the crane but delicate work and pricision from the rotator wicked combination .stay safe guys
My son first load to Las vegas driving this big trucks by he's self....6 months experience ❤❤ very pround of this lady 🎉
Darn, I am third. Thanks for the video from south central New Mexico. As I watched I considered the phonominal soft touch of the crane operator and the communication that must take place. I am curious about the time it takes to upload the long videos and if you use Apple computers. I will certainly rewatch this video several times. I don't mean to slight your contribution to the whole job.
Very cool video. It would be neat if you could find and team up with one of the TH-cam Crane Operators (or just a normal crane operator) and each put the other through a training session on the opposing machine. This way you would both see the operational and control differences between the two types of machines, in ways that probably aren't apparent to each other.
Cool idea. I feel a crane operator would have a much easier time operating a Rotator than me operating a crane.
@@PepesTowingService It'd probably depend on what exactly you were doing. A rotator's small as cranes go, but cranes normally just lift things. A complicated recovery, especially if only using one truck and having to do a lot of redirecting instead of just putting a rotator on each end, would probably be well outside their experience.
They use these things here. Vancouver Island. Usually two, one facing the other. 900 sq ft max. We have an agricultural land reserve and the second house on the land has to be on pier blocks for a foundation and removable. So they use these. Way cheaper than a house nowadays.
I can't imagine that with all the costs involved in moving the prefab on to the lot that it was any cheaper than building one in situ.
Great job. Never seen the fishing off the tail end trick before. Same for the driver. Great job.
thank you for sticking around for this job verry cool
The pre-manufactured home is cheap, its the land its sittng on thats expensive.
As a farm kid looking for a challenge this looks fun but im thankful I don't live in the big cities 😂 but she did do an impressive job
Incredible skill and precision from all involved. Congratulations.
Amazing video , was at the edge of my seat 😱, gives a whole new meaning to “ just moving into the neighborhood “ , you had to admit everyone had their A game on today. Made for a great video .🙌👏👏👏
Its not much bigger than a $2,500 job site trailer 🤣
Move that dam chevy. That push it out of the way.
I was thinking, unbolt the signs, put some wood around the stub sticking out and be done with it. All those signs are bolted at the bottom.
I’ve been in tight spots like that b4 ! Sometimes u can hit the trailer brakes for a minute once u establish the apex of the turn backing in and it pushes the front of the trailer over without the rear going to far of track! She did an amazing job! Especially with that big of an audience watching her and knowing the crane and entire crew were waiting on her!
That is lot of obstacles in small area, very skilled driver. This was great video to watch
Would have helped if the construction company moved their own equipment out of the way. In particular the little white truck.
What a crummy place to put a house. Not for me.
They just put it there to sell it. Make a ton of money.
Ya I wouldn't live there lmao but maybe some high six figure guy who works close by and is single?
Or buy it and rent it out is the likely scenario like an air bnb
Amazing driving young lady! You all did AMAZING team work.
Great job by everyone, talk about precise. Great video Josh.
this is what stuffing 20 lbs of sht into a 5lbs bag would look like LOL
🤣
She made that look easy, you could have given me 10 hours to make that turn and I highly doubt I would have been able to do it (also have never driven a semi)
Wow! I am with everyone else that was definitely hair raising, the skills of the people in this was amazing. Your videos are always great and interesting and i always enjoy them.
It looks like one of the balloons in the Christmas parade. Thank you for sharing this. You are very skilled for your part, you knew exactly what to do.
