Major fail in a multi-million dollar house

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

What a HOT call this was, both in terms of the actual heat and the pressure to not cause any more damage on this monster of an expensive house. This little gated city/community known as Hidden Hills is home to lots of celebrities like Kanye/ Kim Kardashian and Drake. The streets were small to navigate and full of expensive cars and low hanging trees, so I had to carefully maneuver Hulk until I got to this lot.
First step was to assess the situation and get my game plan going. Due to the tight space and slope, getting in front of it or off the side was not possible. After removing a bin in my way, I backed up Hulk as far as I could and started the slow rigging process of setting up my lines.
My primary goal was to upright the reach truck WITHOUT causing any more damage to the house or the roof. I did this by having one primary lift and catch line, plus an additional winch line straight to the boom to make sure it comes up without scraping or dragging the roof. It was a tiring and slow process but safety is always first and the plan was executed to perfection.
Once upright, I used my underlift to perform a recovery rear tow, while still having one winch line on the axle with a missing tire for support and safety and towed it out of the property lot and into the street. From here, I backed it onto a Landoll and used my boom lines to straighten it out to the customer's satisfaction. Not the heaviest job or most difficult job I've done, but definitely a ton of pressure from the contractors watching my every move to make sure no further damage was done.
All footage was shot with my GoPro Hero 7 Black using a chest mount and edited in Adobe Premiere.

    When you needed to shift the load to the drivers side, you could have turned Hulk’s wheels to the left which would have pivoted the underlift in the direction it needed to go. The distance from Hulk’s steer tires to the back of the underlift is long enough that 1-2 inches at the steers would have been more than enough shift. Rigging for a second lift worked but if for some reason you still needed the boom lines attached, this would have gotten you what you needed. Good job on the recovery.

    Yes and no. I didn't have much room to back up onto the Landoll because the outriggers. In this case it was much easier to use my boom line to swing it over since it was already attached and I had full 100% control down to the inch of where I could put it. Going forward or backing up again could take multiple attempts and could throw off the front.

    Congratulations on a VERY difficult job. I have nothing like your kit, but I do use an 8ton machine for some very tight work with limited space. (moving millstones away from a house for example)

    I would think, especially in the summer, that having water and gatorade in that fridge would be every bit as important as making sure all the right chains and straps are on board. That big "Hulk" is nothing if the operator get to feeling sick.

    Correct, I love my fridge. It's normally fully stocked, but the day before we had a monster job and I didn't get a chance to restock before this job very early the next day
