50 lbs roughly. Depends on how you mean. Do you mean what is the lift up weight at the front with it hinged at the back ? or total weight as in shipping cost weight ? ( I shipped the whole thing to Alaska for a guy - that was a packing job and a half. Went by barge too. ) I'll tell you this- if one of the cables for counter springs in the bars is broken, it's like pressing 140 lbs over your head, far harder to do than one would expect. Or at least a hundred lbs. it's hard to do. The coil counter springs have a large affect. Scott www.turbovans.com
