Heavy Transport used their Liebherr 1400-2 and a new 90ton Tadano R/T to perform a rotor drop on a GE wind turbine in Jabon Canyon.
The rotor was removed to allow GE to change the turbine’s gearbox.
Bragg Crane & Rigging used an American
8470 at an iron job during the construction
of Santa Monica High School’s Innovation
Building. The $55 million technology and
science building houses 36 new classrooms,
including 15 science labs, 18 “home”
classrooms, and more.
The Fontana branch used a 278 Link Belt
to set a large water pipe for the U.S. Army
Corps Of Engineers in South El Monte, CA.
The water pipe was 12 feet in diameter in
50-60ft sections, and weighed 35,000 lbs.
An American 8470 was used to resurface
the roof for Best Contracting. Originally built
in 1988 as a part of “Shoreline Square”,
the building has become one of Long
Beach’s trophy skyscrapers. The 20 story,
417,000 square foot tower is now home to
Comerica Bank.
Heavy Transport hauled new control buildings for the light rail
in San Jose, CA. Bragg Crane & Rigging assisted with offload.
Some of the sites have required SPMT to make the final delivery.
Heavy Transport has been working with a Goldhofer and Prime Mover
truck moving 300,000 lbs dam gates at the Folsom Dam in
Northern California.
Heavy Transport used 2 Goldhofer trailers to move concrete jail cells in Ion, CA. The project took nearly 4 months to complete.
50 golfers showed for the 7am shotgun start early Saturday morning at Meadowlark Golf Club
in Huntington Beach, CA.. The tournament was followed by a BBQ luncheon and raffle prizes.

We sold a record-breaking 146 tickets, as Bragg Companies employees, family and friends

Weather was perfect for a day in the snow, nice and warm. The Bragg Companies hosted a Snow Day Event for their southern California employees and their family. Fifteen tons of snow made for a day of ice cold fun for kids and adults alike. In addition to the snow there were bounce houses, face painters, balloon twisters and plenty of food including a s'mores bar for all who attended.
Heavy Driver Trent Langan and the Braggster raced at Sonoma Raceway earlier this summer. Bragg treated XX clients to 2 days of action-packed racing. The Braggster will race again on during The World Finals at Pomona, November 12-15th.

Bragg Crane Service’s Lynn Nicholson has been contacted by City of Hope as a donor
match for a second time. Lynn has been a long-time participant in our twice-annual blood
drives, in memory of both Chris and George Bragg. On Monday September 28, Lynn
underwent Therapeutic Apheresis T-Cell Collection at City of Hope, which took 6 hours.
Immediately following the procedure, the blood was flown from LAX to Croatia for the same
43 year old woman who received Lynn’s bone marrow 2 years ago. Bragg Companies
thanks Lynn for her ongoing participation. We are very proud of her contributions to the
lives of those in need.
