I did see that yesterday, you guys down in Steilacoom right? Looked pretty hardcore from the aerial footage.
Looks like an interesting attachment for laying panels, we normally use slings.:bash
the panel thing is called a panel boss. we bought that from a guy in Ogden Utah. it is the best thing to use for the job. we have another one that we built to fit a zx 450 that we use on derailments to. it is much safer that chains or slings. it was a very hard job being that they saved all the cars. most of the crew started at 4 am thursday and got off work at about noon friday, when i came up to set panles and finish the job.
