- 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! - Auta a dopravní prostředky
Extreme coordination from the team to make that load successful. Amazing to watch the process. !
I concur. Extreme for sure. This definitely was not a normal location for loading such a large piece of equipment. Somebody on city council booked a Farmer’s Market the same day as the heavy equipment trade show dismantled its exhibit. The property was large enough to accommodate both venues safely on either side of the property but as you see in the video some interaction occured😬. But everyone made it out safe😓. Thanks for watching the video. Much appreciated👍
BEAUTIFUL rig!!
One hell of a truck and machine.
Watching the loaders dropping the goose neck out and putting blocks to make a ramp reminded me of my low loader days. One job was to move a trenching machine, which I loaded one evening. The next morning at the site, the operator was there to off load. I dropped the goose neck, put down blocks, and asked if he wanted more, to which he replied no, that's plenty. He began tracking off the bed, all was well until the machine reached the point of balance. 3ins isn't a lot at ground level, but when your 10ft up and 25ft back!! The resulting movement shot him out of the seat, and left him hanging upside down, caught on the controlling levers by his jumper. The machine of course kept tracking, the operator managed to free himself, with some nasty bruises, and a big lesson learnt.
I enjoyed the story. Glad the operator wasn't bucked to the ground. Yes indeed, it helps having experience when loading and unloading machines. Over the years tips and tricks are learned. I appreciate your viewership. Thanks for watching!
🤣
Wow that truck and trailer looking mighty fine
I agree, it's a nice looking unit! Thanks for watching. Much appreciated🙏😎
Great Vid, thanks very much for posting
Cannot thank you enough for watching the video, James. I appreciate your viewership. I wish the video had a better ending. I will improve as time goes on. 😀
Cracking Rig and trailer.. From Scotland.
My father's Scottish.😃 Thanks for watching!

Excellent video! This takes me back 20 years or so when I was doing this here in Iceland. Biggest I hauled was a Cat 350L excavator @ approx. 50 tons with a MAN 6x6, 5 axle lowbed + 2 axle dolly. It was in the dead of winter so it was an arduous task, but I miss it dearly. Cheers!
Thank you for the kind words. It feels good knowing viewers are enjoying my videos. I feel bad I haven’t added many new vids over this past 10 months. Covid pandemic has me staying clear of most work sites. Trying to respect those around me. I enjoyed the story of you loading the CAT 350L and MAN 6 x 6 in the dead of winter. That will awaken your senses. 😱 As you said it was an arduous task but when lookin’ back you dearly miss working the heavy haul life. Thanks again for your viewership.🙏😇
some reserve batteries are very helpful..Thanks for the video.Greetings from germany !
Yes, they are! I now film with three cameras. Bur this does not guarantee everything will go well. As I found out. lol. Thank you for watching!👍
I loved your video. I have watched it two times already. Don't pay attention to negative comments below. I am looking forward to watching your other videos. I can tell by the way you move, you know what you are doing. Keep up the good work. I know your subscribers really appreciate your videos!
I cannot thank you enough for the compliments, Gary. You're very kind. I enjoy filming big rigs -- an enjoyable hobby. I am the first to critique my videos. I see the mistakes. I take the critiquing from others lightly. It doesn't bother me. I am limited as to what I can film, how I film, and where I can film. Those who know me well understand why. I'm happy my hobby brings enjoyment to others. I am surprised by the amount of subscribers. Never ever dreamed the videos would receive this much attention. However, I am very aware the trucks are the reason members watch. I'm very thankful to all the subscribers. I appreciate every compliment. It's viewers like you who keep me filming. I have hours and hours of unedited footage i have yet to post. Finding time to edit is my downfall. I again thank you for your viewership. So very appreciated!
I just found your video and it is awesome!
Good job filming.
Thanks
I appreciate the compliment. I wish the battery hadn't died on me. Having it run out of power before the loading process was completed bothers me more than the viewers. I'm glad you found the video entertaining, as is. Thanks for watching!
@@coolbigrigs Don't sweat the small stuff, you got 99% of it.
On the side of the main boom is about a 4' X 12' grate, does it swing down to protect the cab?
Correct! The grate lowers over the cab/windshield for protection. Thanks again for watching!
Wow!
great footage
Hi Michael, I appreciate the compliment. I apologize for the video's ending -- camera batteries died, was impossible to have them switched in time to capture the last minute of the yarder's boom & cab lowering. I appreciate your viewership. Thanks for watching.
Great video! Very interesting to see the rig setup from the beginning
Glad you liked it! I apologize for the video ending abruptly. Battery died. Glad you saw the “loading” process. Next time I’ll have extra batteries on hand. Thanks for watching. Much appreciated! 👍🙏
These drivers today have it pretty plush an nice with the tractors an trailers they have today.
Plush? Lol yeah right, come sling chains and blocks for a day and then tell me how easy we have it
Got one of those working down the road from our crew here in New Zealand
Your welcome miss the days of heavy hauling
It gets in the blood! Never leaves! Even dream of it! Thanks for watching, Edgar!
Very Impressive !!!
Glad you found the video entertaining. I appreciate your viewership.
great vid
I appreciate you watching the video, Mark. I wish the ending was better but I can’t control battery power. Well, it is under my control but this one got away on me. Sorry!
Liked the exposure of this vid, as well as the height it was filmed at; cool video.
this whole operation took place along side of a street? the heavy handlers knew their jobs very well. thanks for a very good clear video. it looked good on my new large screen. Thanks again.
It appears the loading took place beside a busy city street. In actuality, it's not a street. This strip of pavement is the entrance to a hockey arena parking lot. A farmers market was taking place at the far end of the lot at the same time this Log Yarder was loaded. The day prior was a logging Conference and Trade Show. There is a secondary entrance to the Farmer's market but some people chose the wrong entrance/exit. I'm glad the video looks great on your new big screen TV. That makes me smile! Thanks for watching the video!
Very nice
Thank you for watching, Minh!👍
The guy with the white hard-hat and black hi-vis vest....let me guess ...retired guy with time on his hands ??? He makes a great watcher...
On point analysis. lol. 👍
Welcome to North America, the home of the complicated trailer.
It's more of a Canada thing.
The.tridem jeep and tandem booster are utilized in this application because the Yarder is being hauled into Washingyon State. The land of endless bridges.😃👍 Had the Yarder stayed north of the American/Canadian boarder, fewer axles would've been needed here in BC.
Must be more of a west coast thing. Roads in the Northeast or thicker and require less axles.
Maine Man lol what roads lol the mostly plagued with potholes or in bad need of resurfacing, depending on the state and kinda roads. Lol
I was taught to always load with the sprockets going on first keeps the tracks tight on the way up the trailer
Wow cool video. I was running the yarder, had no idea someone filmed it
Every time I see those trucks, I am reminded of Dave Patterson, who used to drive his B61 Mack. I co-drove that truck in the late '90's when Dave injured his elbow.
That's a "yarder"? In 1967 I worked in the Snohomish area, around Stevens Pass. On a highline logging outfit. The spar tree was 90+ feet. The yarder was a long steel frame - heavy girders - with drums for the mainline and haulback. I think the mainline was 7/8" and the haulback 3/8" wire rope. The engine mounted longitudinally was a Navy-surplus. 12-cyclinder Fairbanks-Morse. They said it came out of a fleet submarine. The bull block was nearly a half-mile out. I only set chokers once. Tough job, setting chokers. When they'd latch on to a heavy hemlock and fire up that yarder, dirt and limbs and branches would fly. Looked like a speed boat coming up the hill. The entire front end of the yarder would come up ten feet. They welded extensions on the front so they could drive the D8 up on the end for extra weight. A 15' - 18' fir would bounce the Cat a couple feet. Every couple days the haulback would break and go whipping out - cutting off tree tops. One day the guy running the yarder went to sleep and lifted a huge log almost to the top of the spar tree. All the shouting opened his eyes and he let out the clutch. Boom! The log came down on the loader, which was an old converted steam shovel. Smashed it flat. Our boss was in it. Fortunately, he'd had time to duck back between the wire drums. I was a second loader. I jumped off the truck and crawled underneath. The driver jumped out and sprinted for the tree line. Big fat guy. The boss crawled out. "What's going on around here?" He was a tough Norwegian guy. Good times.
I'm guessing this machine they call a "yarder" is headed for a Christmas tree farm. Right?
@@LeonAllanDavis I miss logging! I hauled logs in Washington State for a lil over 10 years. When the economy took a dump in 08, I lasted about 2 more years, then went to driving dump trucks. More money, & less hours, but I DON'T like being in the city ALL day long!
Could there have possibly any more traffic on that street that day?
What exactly is that grated rectangular thing alongside the boom? Does that pivot and protect top of the cab or pivot down and protect the cab from the front?
Yes, good eye! Everything you described is correct, however, the rectangle guard lowers to protect the windshield. Thanks for watching. I apologize for the delayed response.
Blows me away that all that weight is still pulled with just a 2" king pin.
Notice that too
@@misterjacksons That steel for the kingpin has a shear strength of 150,000psi. So in total it can handle 300,000 lbs of load before it shears, also some of the load is carried by friction on the fifth wheel plate. It should be able to pull a little more than 300,000 lbs.
That’s why Trailer is free but the pen cost 100k
Holly shitt 75Tons thats super heavy
Вот почему у них дороги хорошие,мало того,что при строительстве не воруют(ну или очень мало воруют,чтоб кардинально качество не страдало),сами по себе дороги в разы крепче.Так еще и на какие то 48 тонн 11 осей,8 на полуприцепе,3 на тягаче,по итогу 42 колеса,нагрузка на полотно думаю около 1.5-1.7 тонны(веса тягача с пп. не указано).А у нас зерновозы по сезону на дряхлый камаз с прицепом по 60 тонн грузят,где всего 18 колес,видел даже 74 тонны нетто(общий под 90 будет) и это думаю не предел...Можете посчитать какая нагрузка на полотно,летом они просто тонут в асфальте....Повальная коррупция и воровство,вот причина всех бед и думаю это никогда не изменится,никто не хочет хотя бы с себя начать,а уж потом и с государства требовать всем скопом.....Да какой там,знаю примеры,даже приехав туда,через поколение,родившись в штатах,наши так же на правила плюют,подавая пример своим детям,а те в свою очередь от своих родителей набрались этого...заколдованный круг какой то.
про 90 тонн ты конечно загнул, куда там поместится столько зерна. При таком весе камаз с места не сдвинется
nice video bro
Thanks for the visit. I appreciate your viewership. 👍
Lol. That t800 @2:27 with all axles down for a 46,000lb load. Definitely show boating. Extra brakes are nice in the hills I suppose. I move draglines around. Cool to see how others go about it.
Working smarter not harder is not showboating. Frank was contracted to haul all Finning equipment from the show, shuttling all sizes back to Finning every 45 minutes. All axels were needed to be legal on most. There's always a reason why things are done a certain way. Thanks for watching! Much appreciated.
Everything just happened so fast
HELLO AGAIN OLD BOY I JUST FANCIED GOING THROUGH MY COLLECTION OF YOUR VIDEOS I FORGOT TO COMMENT LAST TIME SO 2ND TIME AROUND BOTH THE TRACTOR UNIT WITH ITS LOAD AND THE HILLSIDE THEY BOTH LOOK GREAT WAS THAT THE LITTLE HOUSE ON THE HILLSIDE WHAT A GREAT VIEW FROM THERE THUMBS UP A BIG THUMB THAT IS I WILL TALK TO YOU SOON
What Brand of Low Bed Is That Jeep Dolly Has To Transport That Machine?
Hi! Sorry for the delayed reply. "KNIGHT Trailer Manufacturing." All components are KNIGHT on this unit. Thanks for watching the video. 👍
@@coolbigrigs Thank You.
you did an awesome job, piss on the morons who complain, thank you for the video, my compliments Sir
I greatly appreciate the compliment and for having my back. When things go wrong during filming, I'm more upset than the viewer. The results can't be changed. So I move on. lol. I do my best with what I have to work with. Inexpensive camera. Limited filming skill. Much more. I film as a hobby because I love big rigs. Been around trucks 54 years. I respect truckers. I try staying out of their way. Multiple reasons for not zooming in. Respect is key. Hope subscribers enjoy the upcoming videos. Thanks again for watching, gunny U.S.M.C. I appreciate your viewership. It's people like you who keep me filming.
What's the yarder weight....?
It's 105,000 lbs. [48 KG]. It folds down to 12’6” wide x 11’ 6” tall. This lowbed hauled it to Washington State from Vernon, B.C. Thanks for watching.
💯💯✌
Thank you for watching the heavy haul video. Much appreciated. .👍🙏
Must need all them axels i know around hear that would be over kill but i see out west they make them run 20 axels on what we have 3 in mass
It seems like additional axles are required the further west a trucker goes. This heavy haul company, operating out of Surrey, B.C., is just following WSDOT and CVSE regulations. This 105,000 lbs yarder's headed back down to Washington State from the British Columbia Interior. There are 7,300 bridges spanning over 20' in Washington State. Most of the infrastructure is old and cannot tolerate fewer axles. The haul occurred during spring breakup. Some spans and crossings set limitations, as you know. Legal load size and weight limitations vary state to state and province to province. Length. Width. Height. Weight. Overhang. Non divisible loads. Few share commonality. There's always a reason why things are done a certain way hence required extra axels. Governments make trucking more difficult than it needs to be. Permits are money grabs. I appreciate your comment. Respect your thinking. Thanks for watching the video! Much appreciated.
@@coolbigrigs I 100% agree about the permits being $$ grabs! The government, ESPECIALLY here in Washington state makes trucking more difficult than it needs to be! This coming from a driver with 23 years as a commercial driver, & almost all of it in Washington state.
We operate 14th scale RC trucks & equipment for fun in our free time. Here's a video link that has an RC model of a similar tractor trailer that one of our club members scratch built. czcams.com/video/eCgaueIFDjE/video.html
Hi from New Zealand,
Is that the only way the yarder can be transported? It just seems like a lot of work to load onto that trailer. could they designed
a trailer where you drive on from the back, without having to unhitch and hitch up? I know we have them in NZ. Can't say I have ever seen a yarder transported around NZ. Thank you for sharing.
I appreciate the question. Yes, this method is the only way to haul this size yarder. There are lowbed trailers as you mentioned that load from the rear. Too dangerous for equipment this size. The chance of the yarder slipping off or tipping is great. The metal tracks slip easily on contact with trailer metal. This method is the easiest way. Regulations and laws must be followed. Thanks for watching!
HENRY have you any idea of the cost it would entail,, that is just part of the job that those guys do and i have things like that many times,
@@danmagill7595 I live in Washington state, & am a commercial driver. That tractor trailer would run $160-$185 per HOUR, from the time it left the shop, to the time it got back to the shop. This DOESN'T include pilot cars, (If they have to drive on less than a 4 lane highway) or the permits to move the machine. Rough guess, 12-18 thousand U.S. dollars this move would have cost.
@@pnwRC. thanks for your reply ,,I worked heavy haulage for many years and it has always been a team effort,,, congrats on your efficient move ,, Dan from Ireland ,,,,,,,,,,,

What's the benefit of increasing the length of the gooseneck?
Lengthening the gooseneck increases the capacity of the truck tractor combination by splitting the load that is transferred by the king pin on the trailer between the the tractor axles and the axles on the jeep. After loading was complete, the unit was off from here in B.C. to Washington State where there’s hundreds of bridges of all sizes to cross. Thanks for watching!
good day very good video, could you tell me the mark of the low boy
Thank you for the compliment. Much appreciated. I apologize for forgetting the Lowbwd's brand name. Wish I could remember but I can't. Sorry!
looks like a aspen made in canada
Good highly dollars
Heavy cargo pack ATS
Lemme see, more axles mean more weight spread?
You got it. Must spread the weight to ensure weight distribution doesn't damage road surfaces but mainly bridges. This yarder is headed from British Columbia, Canada, to Washington State, just across the American boarder where there's endless bridges.
It's called a bridge law. The amount of weight younneed to spread over a distance to not crush and destroy everything you drive over. Although for what I drive, it's far more simple.
Which to me seem stupid in some instances, because you often end up with more weight from adding on all the Jeep's and boosters that trailers weight more then the items you are hauling! But hey "At least the weight is spread out"!
@@markvolker1145 It's more about pounds per square inch, or foot....or whatever they use......an average sized woman in spiked heels puts more psi on an linoleum floor, then a full grown bull elephant. Some of those heavy haul trilers have axles with 4 sets tires, per axle. I forgot what they call it.
@Ken Chandler I'm not sure how you're using the word float. If it's in reference to shifting, then it's an American slang for changing gears, up or down, without using the clutch. If it's something else, I'll need more of an explanation to clear up what i meant.
Nagyon birom ezrket a videokat,hatalmas monstrumok nagyon izgalmassak.
More than 1 way to skin a cat LOL
I grew up on a farm. I heard that phrase 1 million times. LOL. And it never gets old. LOL. Thanks for watching!👍
GOOD FILM, BUT TO MUCH UNNECESSARY MOVEMENT...
while it wasn't a waste, definitely a dissapointment.....never seen that particular loading/disasembly before.
Those may be 85 tomorrow but
Let the driver know you think he's the one that's hauling it
Cummins or paccar?
I apologize for not knowing which engine gives this sweet Pete it's heartbeat! I failed to get all the specs during filming.
Its a Cummins in that Petercar
I guess your not going too far being the machine is about 25’ tall
The Log-Champ L550 yarder was hauled from Vernon, B.C., to a logging site in the lower Washington State area, a 790 Km (434 mile) trip. The travelling height is 4.15 m (13’ 6”). The yarder’s cab tilts forward to 11’ 6” when being relocated. It was designed to collapse low. Thanks for watching! Much appreciated.
It would of been cool but nice video done really fast
You've given me an idea, Edgar. Thanks! And thank you for watching! Much appreciated!
i thought it was a good video keep me posted with em old chap chocks away
Always making my day! Thanks, ole chap! Pip pip!
its just nice talking to someone who also enjoys lorries just like me how about arfernoon tiffen and cruffets so ttfn and keep me posted old bean
I suppose the driver has to avoid travelling under any bridge with this load.
The lowbed is directed to the best possible route with the least bridges and overpasses but remains within the truck route.. Thanks for watching.👍
Why all the safety vest everybody's wearing safety vest what the hell can't be seen visibly
It's the lawl, you have to wear Hi-vis clothing when working around heavy equipment
Well that was a waste of 31 minutes should of had a spare battery
I hear ya. I apologize for posting the incomplete loading process but felt it was better than nothing. A spare battery would not of helped the situation. I don't have use of my hands. The lowering of the Yarder cab would have been over by the time I rounded up assistance. Since that day I've purchased a second camera to back-up the main. lol. I live and learn.
OK, so the battery died. Still, it was a good video. All of us had a battery get up and leave us. At least the video is clear, we can easily see what is going on, and it's not like we had anything else going on.
Bla bla bla, 30 min.for nothing. Sheet.
The onus is on you for wasting your time. Had you read the video description beforehand you would have been spared the 30 minute loss. I'm not referring to the Subject Heading, but the Video Description. Video descriptions are there for a reason -- they describe what the video's features. Happy New Year. Hope your day improves.
@@coolbigrigs someone like that will never have a good day. Some people enjoy being miserable. 😀
