Weight of 6-1 with 5kw ST head on frame w/wheels
« on: September 15, 2018, 03:04:49 AM »
I have this 6-1 setup. I'm moving this setup via truck and need to guess what the weight is. I don't have any method to actually weigh it prior to loading it up in the truck next week.

Thoughts?

If it's similar in weight to my 12/1 - allow 450 for engine, 40 genhead, 50 base and wheels, plus extra 100 leeway for starter/fans/accessories.... about 650kg at a "zero based stochastic estimate"..... unless the tyres are filled with helium, then it will be weigh less.....

  I have a similar set-up that I've had to move around, load/un-load, etc.  The engine weighs around 600 Lbs., the Generator head around 300 Lbs. and the rest around 250 lbs.  - so total around1150 - 1200 lbs.  Won't miss it by far! ---- Charlie

I'm thinking a peek at the truck might be interesting.

Tires are filled with water.

Chris,

Drive each tire, one at a time, over a bathroom #300 scale. If lucky, you wont break the scale and you will obtain four (4) weight measurements which could be added together to get a total.
