I have moved body tubs before and it took 6 - 8 guys to safely do it. If everyone has an effective lifted load of 100 - 150 lbs, you are looking at 800 - 1000 lbs.

I'm going to say it's around 1100 . I'm a rigger and if you are seriously considering doing this the beams you are going to be warping better be something bigger then your standard 2x6 or even 4x6. I have been debating building a solid 4 post gantry setup and attaching a 1/2 ton chain motor on a beam roller . Maybe when I get a bigger garage

800-1,100 lbs., eh? So if I remove the doors it should be about 300 lbs. then.
Maybe I'll put it in a giant shrink rap bag thingy and jam it in the shed.
On a different note, is there a what of changing the background color of buttons (yellow w/ white text) on this board? Like the "Post Reply" button I'm looking at on the lower right as I type. Can't see what it says unless I hover over it.
