how much will my cast iron radiator weigh?

happyhero

Hi I have just ordered a fairly small cast iron radiator and in my confirmation email they warm about needing 2 men to move it at my end etc.

Its 590mm high x 541mm wide which is 7 sections and 180mm deep, any idea what each section weighs so I know what I am up against please?

I've fitted several recently and they are a lot heavier than a normal radiator - I had to help the delivery drivers bring them in and you'll need a second pair of hands when you come to install them.

Definitely agree they're extremely heavy. We currently have two smallish ones (750mm h x 300mm w x 200mm d and 750mm h x 450mm w x 150mm d) in upstairs rooms and DH said it was a total pita to get them up there......although he did just about manage it alone

Downstairs we have much larger ones - our delivery guy didn't even help us get them over the threshold - and these definitely were two man jobs as I can testify, being the one that had to help DH up our front door steps with the blasted things
