That's an excellent and very practical question! When planning for shipping and installation, knowing the exact weight is crucial for logistics, cost estimation, and handling safety.
For our standard single-section urban benches, the typical shipping weight ranges between 55 to 75 pounds (25 to 34 kilograms). This weight is for one complete, fully assembled bench section as it would be packaged on a pallet.
However, it's important to note that the final weight can vary based on several key factors:
* Material: A powder-coated aluminum bench will be significantly lighter than one made from solid cast iron or thick hardwood.
* Design & Size: A longer 6-foot bench with a backrest will weigh more than a simple 4-foot backless model.
* Packaging: Protective pallets and heavy-duty cardboard add to the total shipping weight.
This weight range is designed to balance durability with manageable handling. A single section is typically light enough for two people to maneuver during installation, yet robust enough for public use. For precise figures for your specific model, always refer to the product's specification sheet or consult directly with our sales team for an exact shipping weight quote. Proper planning ensures a smooth delivery and setup process for your project.
