Arcoliner boiler weights

Does anyone out there have any weight specifications on the old tried but true American Standard Arcoliner boiler series? I recently purchased an Escalera stair climber hand truck and want to make sure I do not exceed its 1200lb. weight capacity rating.

Thanks

    I have an Escalara. I have taken some 3 section arcoliners out with my Escalara. the key is the "balance point" I don't think I can handle more than the truck limit. 4 or more sections and we split it. Two easy trips rather than one "white knuckle" trip Some Burnhams are long and low and put the "balance point" too far out for comfort. I never allow anyone under the load hence my conseritive attitude. We also do so many old coal conversion boilers that HAVE to be split that it is just normal to split em up.
