Hi, Ben:-- don't know the weight offhand, but believe it or not, I
pulled/slid my BE project shell off the trailer onto my homemade Dolly by
myself. I later lifted shell on/off trailer for trip to paint stripper with
one partner (without bonnet) I coerced a younger, stronger man to lift the
rear end and I handled the front. After experiencing the ease with two
people, I won't try it solo again, but think 3 guys would be ideal-one in
front and two in back-
Cheers
