Y vs HESCO? - IDF seeking to purchase new portable forts

IDF seeking to purchase new portable forts

http://www.jpost.com/Defense/Article.aspx?id=281003

"Called Y-Fort, new system can be erected independently by small military units, protect them during operations inside enemy territory............."

&

".......The IDF is evaluating the YFort as a possible replacement for the current mobile fort systems it uses, made by Britain’s HESCO. The IDF said the older systems require heavy machinery to erect their roofs, while the new models can be built independently by soldiers................."

Looks like really big sandbags with a fancy roof structure to me. Without heavy equipment still looks like more than a ton's worth of grunt work to set up one.
