Weight Issues..

[KyleTheSid]

Hey guys I just went to an optometry shop that I didn't know existed and they had two empty cabinets..whether or not they are still an Oakley dealer I don't know yet I have to call tomorrow. I'm only 5'4 and 130 lbs. and I'm 14 years old so I obviously can't lift a double wide myself so if I could get your guys's input on how heavy the double wide is and how manyguys it takes to lift it. Thanks!

I'm not sure how heavy it is but I would say its pretty heavy. I'm not the strongest person but I would say safely like two -three people it would take to carry one. Deffinitly one person can't do it. Maybe if you get your hands on a hand truck or a dolly you might be able to do it with less people and effort.

I move mine by myself, but I am quite literally two of you... lmao

At your size I would say3 people to be SAFE and not hurt... the case!

The last one I shipped was around 270 I think!

Depends if it is the brushed aluminum or the newer black ones. The brushed are Much lighter, if you have a hand truck or a dolly you can move it around yourself. After you take the shelving out, not heavy at all, just big and awkward. The black double wide is a different beast, that must be the one Joben is talking about.

Thanks guys it is the black one! I was just asking to see if I should call some neighbors or family over to help move it...new question: How difficult is this thing to get up stairs? Haha

Hire some movers! Ha

Ha getting a double wide up the stairs is the only reason I did not purchase one when I had the chance. I thought I would be moving out soon for college and it was large I would never be able to use it. So I will buy one when I get my own place for good.
