I am buying a sailboat and the Hydro Hoist 4000L it has been kept on. I need to know how much the empty hoist weighs so that I can take an appropriate trailer or truck to fetch it. It's a model 4000L with a lift capacity of 4000 pounds. I could not get any useful information from the manufacturer's website or by phoning them. :confused: I found the installation manual but it doesn't list the empty weight either.

Weight wise, if it's aluminum, only going to be 600-800 lbs...

But it's large and awkward...so you will want a long, tandem axle utility trailer to "stabilize" it during travel..

The Hydro Hoist 4000L has plastic floats and steel structure. My current plan is to use a flat bed trailer that U-Haul rents as a car transporter. It's tandem axle and I'm sure it can handle much more load. Still would like to know what the hoist weighs though.

A standard car trailer should have no problem moving that weight and would ease loading it aboard. If you take the truck and trailer by a truck scale you can get the weight of the total rig. Re-weigh your rig with the 4000L aboard and you will have the weight of the 4000L.

Still need the weight number

The car hauler is the default if I do not know the weight of the hoist. I would like to take a lighter trailer.
