The weight of a cab door

Post by silverbullet »

Anyone know what a cab door weighs with all it's clothes on? Glass and regulator fitted, with locks etc. To the nearest kilo would be great :ok

It's not for shipping purposes, just an idea I have rattling around the back of my brainbox. Could lead to trouble, mind...

No idea, but I can lift and remove a sliding door on my own, cab door must weigh less. In the 10 to 15 kilo range would be my guess, with a sliding door nearer 20kg.

25.4kg with glass but without door cards. I have a couple in the garage and weighed them with my wife's weightwatchers scales.
She used to work for weightwatchers so they are the real deal (not available to buy) and calibrated so fairly accurate.

Hope this helps

At last, we can all sleep soundly knowing the weight of our cab doors. 8)

What about the weight of tailgates, with and without stickers :D

No worries, I'm stepping out of the room for a bit :wink:

Shouldn't be here...
