Aragorn Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 I'm looking at buying an LT230 but before i go spend any money i want to ensure i can get it shipped to me, Does anyone know how much an LT230 weighs? cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astro_Al Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 Around 45kgs I think. How accurate do you need it - what is the range of the weight category for shipping? Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aragorn Posted April 11, 2008 Author Share Posted April 11, 2008 hrm thats going to be well over the weight limits for most couriers most say 25-30kgs and anything more needs a pallet or "special" (ie expensive) rates, i'll have to ask around, but it might mean that paying more locally for one still works out cheaper than trying to find a bargain on ebay!

Astro_Al Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 Ah ok, well regardless of inaccuracy in my guesstimate its defo over 30 by some margin... Al. P.S. Tried calling forth the miracle of the Forum Relay? Make a sacrificial offering to the Moderators and then tell us where it is and where it needs to get to.

Aragorn Posted April 11, 2008 Author Share Posted April 11, 2008 heh the one i was looking at on ebay was in devon, and devon to edinburgh is quite a stretch Its sold now anyway so back to looking! cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 TNT delivered my new one from Ashcrofts recently & the drivers reciept note for return of the removed LT230 states 50kgs but that was inside a large plastic transit container with a thick rubber base & wood lid.

Guest diesel_jim Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 I collected one today, its on my garage floor. (LT230, 1.211:1) with handbrake back plate only fitted. I'd say slightly less than 50kg (comparing it to a sack of cement) 42~45kg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest WALFY Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 I didn't think you could buy 50kg sacks of cement anymore. Max was 25kg? Something to do with H&S? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Night Train Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 If you find another one, I do sometimes drive from Manchester to Inverness to see friends so may be able to help with the forum relay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest WALFY Posted April 12, 2008 Share Posted April 12, 2008 Totaly agree Jamie. When Sir Lesmund drops by tomoorow I'll give him your bits and a bit of the folding stuff for the obvious. If that's OK with you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd assumed it was 5K not 500. Keys to the 90. There yours but in exchange for your house keys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
