If it's a No. 159 one man can lift the bed up into/onto a
pick up bed. The legs can also be lifted. You will want to

The newer models have smooth sides to the bed.

If it's a larger lathe, bring help.

Don't Ask Me How I Know This.

He estimated it at 250 pounds as it is, but I doubt that since he's 75 and two
loaded it into his truck.
