Hello ,
Can anyone tell me the estimated weight of a typical six gas pump complete with guts?
Thanks,
Rob
I did a search on this topic and all that came up was the estimated weight of a visible. I bet Jack Sim has information specs on pump weights?
Thanks,
Rob
I've shipped a few (3 at least) and seems like they came in at close to 300lbs +- each.
I ship Beltman and use 300 lbs. as a rule. It is close. Paul

Name the pump and I will supply the weight.

Thanks Jack this greatly helps me out!!
Rob
I must be stronger than I thought I was.
Thanks for the great topic and information Rob, Jack and Dave!
Your welcome Dave! Everyone here will hopefully know soon why I am asking this question! A new video is in the works !
Jeez, don't tell Beltman what actual weight is,,, ha ha
Thanx Jack for letting everyone know!
How about Wayne: 60 and 861 and Bowser 565 & 575?
Just for fun, I’d like to know the weight of a Wayne 276, a Milwaukee 585 and a G&B 65. Three of the heaviest pumps I’ve ever had the pleasure of moving. Couple of boat anchors. Fun times. Ummm, doctor???
Jack you really don’t have to look those up unless you want to. It’s just kind of a fun topic. What’s the heaviest pump you’ve ever moved??? Or felt like the heaviest.
Now this is getting fun! Please Jack answer those questions for all of us! Believe me my video will make you smile if all goes well! If not a total laughing disappointment!!! I would also like this information if you can provide answers?
Thanks,
Rob
G&B 65 square fell on me years ago breaking my collar bone on both sides. I am currently afraid to move one now! Yes I would love to know the weight of one of these!!!!!
Rob
I felt like the beltman estimates were low . This is very interesting to me.
Weird thing Beltman always picks up an arcade machine from me not a gas pump! They always call my pumps arcade machines! I love pinball too! Pinball machines are real arcade not pumps lol!! Has anyone else experienced this ?
Rob
Beltman uses GAMEROOM terms to lower the rate on shipping. I think it is a Federal Trucking Industry rate guide that they are working with? Only a guess but they are reasonable. I certainly can not pick up, blanket wrap, insure and deliver for what they charge......the rate is better on more than one item, on the order, too. Paul

Thanks for explaining this Paul.

As you notice it is 5 am as I type this. Recently I have been in and out of the VA hospital, too many thing going wrong, I am now almost 85, and the problem is which thing I need to do first. I have a garage filled with petroliana, that I need to get rid of, and my wife knows nothng about what anything is worth. I like this subject but each request requires going through a great deal of literature I have to find the answers. Since both my son and my daughter passed away this past summer, I have no one left to help me do things I need to do around the house. An example, it has taken me over a week to clean the bathroom mainly because I waiting for the VA to schedule me for a knee replacement. Still having fun, just moving a little slower.
When I purchased the 41 files of gas pump/servce literature, my goal was to sell this or copies of this, but with everyone expecting to find all this info on the web, it has turned out not to have been a good idea. I believe I have a person who is interested in purchasing everything I have, so in the while we work this out (I don't think he will be doing what I just think, he wants the collection for his own use) if you feel you would like to make a contribution to Old Gas for the information I supply and what many others supply, please support Jim Pots. As Jim's Old Gas expand\s should be able to click on the above and get a response.
Will be fiefurshing the bathroom Sunday, I will look up all the above requests.
