Estimating Weights of Radiators

Larry Hermanson

We are installing a one pipe steam system a three story building. As part of the job, we have to sandblast and powder coat the old radiators. I am trying to estimate the weights of the radiators so I can get a piece of equipment to pull them out the upstairs windows. I found an old American Radiator catalog on your website, but it doesn't show weights.

Please help. I don't want to take the stairs.
