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.

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.

I felt like the beltman estimates were low . This is very interesting to me.
