How heavy is a gearbox when it's out of a car ???

could it be lifted onto the back of a vehicle by a courier.....thats my main concearn.

50kg and i can get it shipped but it must be able to be placed on the back of a courier van.

any thoughts, strong men, or Couriers who have transported a classic gearbox please.

Thanks

Depends which box it is, the older five speeders are lighter. But I'd say its still over 50kg

I can carry one, well a five speeder at least. Don't know if anyone else could though

So does that mean you are a big lad, training for the strong man events or are you just well practiced in the art it's a classic 5 speed box.

I have been told varying weights...45kg, 55, 60 etc. no firm answers yet.

Cheers minty.

I'm not that strong, just well practiced ; I picked up and carried a new fridge into the house yesterday with no issue (barring its size) and the box for that was stamped as 45kg. From my memory from the last time I handled a scooby gearbox it felt heavier than that, I don't think it will be heavier than 60kg though. Thats not a firm answer though, sorry.
