HEAVY HAUL PETERBILT 567 w/ 11-AXLE LOWBED LOADING 2016 LOG CHAMP LC550 YARDER [31 Minutes]

Brand-new Log Champ LC550 YARDER is loaded onto a 11-axle heavy-haul lowbed at the closing of the 2016 ILA Conferance & Trade Show in Vernon, BC. The Peterbilt 567 hauled the Log Champ from Vernon to Washington State after the show. I apologize for the video's bright exposure. I also apologize for not filming the lowering of the gantry and cab at the end. Camera battery died. That said, it only takes less than 60 seconds for the operating cab and gantry to lower flat by hydraulics.. Video run time is 31 minutes.

With a shipping weight of 105,000 lbs [48,000 Kg], the Log Champ 550 Yarder is easily transported on a single flatbed. The 550 folds down to 12’6” wide x 11’ 6” tall. This is accomplished by using an integrated boom / gantry that lowers and folds. The hydraulic cab tilts. Caterpillar C9 Acert powers the LC550. 350HP. 2200 RPM.

For those whom invested 31 minutes watching the loading of the LC550 and feel they were deprived of the lowering of the operating cabin, gantry and boom due to battery failure, I truly apologize for the camera's power failure. The battery failed seconds before videotaping the lowering process. Even if I had an extra battery available, I would not have had time to replace batteries then videotape the lowering of the appendages. It takes 60 seconds or less to lower the three appendages by hydrolocks. The lowering process would have been completed by the time I replaced the battery. I'm more upset by the miscalculation than you are. I wish things turned out differently. Ninety-seven percent of the loading process was shown. Thanks for your understanding.

Thanks for watching!
