South Bend 15" Lathe Weight

I just purchased a 15" SB lathe and was wondering what is the weight of the lathe? My forklift is out for repair and I need to rent some type of trailer to handle it. Thanks Steve

I have a web page devoted to listing used machine tool weights for the purpose of calculating shipping costs, located here:

It's very out of date (specifically the email address) and I have no entry for a 15" South Bend. Sorry. When someone answers your question I'll update the page and add the new info.

With about a 2' to 3' CtC distance I'd guess around 1000 to 1500# on either legs or a stand. dennis in nca

Southbend describes a 15 1/4" lathe with weights as follows (on skids, crated):

5' 1350 6' 1425 7' 1500 8' 1650 10' 1900

Southbend used the total length of the bed, so the 5' lathe above will take about 2' between centers.
