I need an educated guess on the weight of the complete assembly to work on shipping options.
Has anyone removed, installed or or otherwise handled one and have an estimate of it's weight?
It won't be available for weighing for some time.

My guess would be between 900-1,300#,depending on size of ram,hydraulic tank,hoist [censored]'y,etc. Most of these items are cast-iron,or grade A steel. Not light. | | | | | Joined: Jan 2013 Posts: 1,384 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Jan 2013 Posts: 1,384 | Thanks Wetwilly,
I'll use 1,000 lbs for est. unless someone has specifications on the lift. | | | | | Joined: Dec 2003 Posts: 2,733 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Dec 2003 Posts: 2,733 | The St. Paul brand didn't survive to far into the 50's but it is the same as a GarWood whom I have reason to believe built them.
Just a FWIW thing and I also agree that 1000 lbs is a rasonable guestimate for shipping. The fun will begin when they ask you the freight classification. | | | | | Joined: Jan 2013 Posts: 1,384 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Jan 2013 Posts: 1,384 | Thanks
St. Paul was a part of Garwood industries in '48. | | | | | Joined: Nov 2006 Posts: 2,544 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Nov 2006 Posts: 2,544 | Probably would be a class 55. | | | | | Joined: Jul 2013 Posts: 7 New Guy | | New Guy Joined: Jul 2013 Posts: 7 | I scrapped one not too long ago it was 1150 Lbs for a side tilt with the wooden sides removed. | | | | | Joined: Jan 2013 Posts: 1,384 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Jan 2013 Posts: 1,384 | Thanks. This will be shipped with the with deck removed. Just the upper rails.
Think it can be shipped on a 4' x 9' skid. I'll use 1,000 est. until it is all ready to go. See who I can find to carry it. | | |
