Carepillar had a lot of very heavy, large equipment at that show. (Think of off-road mine haul trucks.)

Cat Press Release
The execution of the exhibit at the Las Vegas Convention Center is a massive logistical endeavor for the Caterpillar and dealer organizations. Interesting facts about the Caterpillar exhibit include:

· The first Caterpillar assembly teams arrived in Las Vegas in late July and will remain there until late October to complete disassembly after the show.
· More than 60 semi-truck loads of equipment and parts were accepted at the staging areas prior to the show.
· There are 28 pieces of iron weighing 2,600 tons on Caterpillar’s exhibit floor.
· The EMD locomotive on display traveled thousands of miles to get to Las Vegas; was moved from a rail spur to the Convention Center in the middle of the night between 11 p.m. and 5 a.m. and traveled down Las Vegas Boulevard at five miles per hour.it
· The Siwei roof support display traveled nearly 6,500 miles from China to get to Las Vegas.
