That mobile crane again

In my previous post I showed a close-up photo of this crane and commented on how it looked as though it was ramping into mid air.

Looking at the vehicle from this perspective, does it boggle your mind like it does mine to think that the crane is sturdy enough to pick anything up? It reminds me a little of how strange it is that big, heavy, airplanes manage to stay in the sky.
