Default Classic gearbox weight, Can you pick one up ??

How heavy is a gearbox when it's out of a car ???

could it be lifted onto the back of a vehicle by a courier.....thats my main concearn.

50kg and i can get it shipped but it must be able to be placed on the back of a courier van.

any thoughts, strong men, or Couriers who have transported a classic gearbox please.

Thanks
minty.

I have lifted one to move it a few feet but it is pretty heavy and would think its would be a bit of a struggle for one man to get it into the back of a van.

I didn't have much trouble lifting. They are heavy but it's tolerable.

cheers
