Does anyone know what this car is use for?
"We have met the enemy and he is us." Pogo Possum "We have met the anemone... and he is Russ." Bucky Katt "Prediction is very difficult, especially if it's about the future." Niels Bohr, Nobel laureate in physics
rixflix aka Captain Video. Blessed be Jean Shepherd and all His works!!! Hooray for 1939, the all time movie year!!! I took that ride on the Reading but my Baby caught the Katy and left me a mule to ride.
The panel on top can flip to either side...this is done before loading, based on which side the panel needs to be unloaded from, and can, in some instances, be done on site after delivery of the panel.
Note all of the blow through holes in the top panel where welders have cut access holes for tie downs and such.
The apron is there to prevent the panel from snagging or getting hung up on the car body when unloading....I have seen a panel being dragged off of one of these with a back hoe and a bulldozer...not the most elegant way to un load one...a crane works much better.
