If you got 4 relatively strong guys it should be ok. Just make sure you got lots of room, & a plan on where it's gonna go, and / or what your gonna rest it on. More people would be good. Last time I helped lift one there wrere 3 of us, 2 strong as ox's and me. I'm 150 soaking wet, but I can lift my weight if I have to. Make sure & have your wires unhooked, and if you can take the tires off ( make sure your truck is WELL supported) it makes is easier. If you can gather a crowed it's a good idea. Less strain per person, & it only takes a few seconds.. Be careful & good luck. PS: I don't know the weight, but it's the awkwardness thats the problem with those things
