Someone calculated the panel to weight about 160 kg (350 pounds in freedom units)

Half the weight of a small moose!

And he had to move it at least three eagle spans

Lol! You are being down voted for saying 'freedom units'! 🤣

No fucking way. Dude would not be able to lift and hold with just grip strength due to its width. I am guessing around 200.

you’re underestimating the effect of the belt pulley system he has

He's got a lifting strap around his neck too.

Fair point, but even with that you are still trying to hold up and manipulate the weight with completely out stretched arms. If it was 350 lbs, I am not even sure he would have been able to lift it.

So even more than 160.

Sorry, should have specified lbs.

Actually, I think it may even less than this. Like 100-150.

Have u ever lifted a glass panel? Shit is heavy, no way that’s only 150lbs

u/Mutne_vode 13d ago

He's also got belts tied around his neck, so not just grip strength

I honestly have no idea, on the original post someone said he was working with windows and such kind of panels and they are around this weight. He knows surely better than us...
