Moving the Kobelco SK500 with LaBounty shears

Kobelco had this SK500 excavator fitted with LaBounty shears on display at Conexpo 2017. I was able to grab this video of Paul DeLong heavy haul moving it out of the Las Vegas convention center on a lowbed a couple of days after the show ended.

Best video I've ever seen of how they pick these trailers up. But damn the height of that excavators boom was up there a good ways

And to think, I used to brag that I could back my 5th wheel RV trailer anywhere. Now I fell like a piss ant on an ant hill pushing a twig around. Freaking AWESOME backing skills driver!

Do they take all that equipment to a separate location for further disassemble and then shipped to other locations? Great vids! Keep up the good work

[@AwesomeEarthmovers]

lowboy1one1 They took a lot of stuff out the back like the Cat 390F. It needed its stick and bucket removed.The Komatsu WA600 loader was out there as well and I think it would at least have needed it's bucket and wheels loved separately.

that's one hell of a toenail clipper

[@jesilvas0813]

Why such a heavy trailer for that machine? Is it really that heavy?

[@russellking9762]

why such a long trailer...in Australia just a simple lowboy for that...overkill..!

Not chaining down the shear isn't legal. Unless it is someplace and I didnt see it..
