Looks like it might be PTO driven?
I guess the pictures doesn't show it, I think it's hidden by the boom arm and such, but it's powered by a 7.5kw 3ph motor.

My first job when I left school was with my dad who was a shuttering joiner foreman on bridges/waterworks and other big civil engineering jobs.This reminded me of my friend who bought this saw for 20€ a few years ago, takes 600mm blades:
Made in 1885...
Now it took a while but here's what it looked like afterwards:

They had a big diesel driven saw that looked similar to that on site, though it was probably a fair bit newer.
Starting it was dangerous enough, before you even got to putting any wood near the blade!! I remember cringing every time I had to use it, thankfully I only did that for about 18 months.
Maybe for other saws that size but 100kg is neither light or portable. A minimum 4 person lift if it had to be moved manually and two guys won't lift that in and out of a van that often before they hurt themselves. http://www.hse.gov.uk/pubns/indg143.pdf
A generic one size fits all doc that doesnt fit all.
If I had to stop and find someone to help everytime I needed to lift something over 25kg id never get any work done. A lot of fire doors weigh over that. Fire rated plaster board certainly does.
Bags of cement etc il always carry 2 at a time with no trouble. Yet ive worked with people that would struggle with singles.
Id have no issue lifting that out with 2 people.
Id get it out solo if required.
