Question weight

I need to move a 32ft single axle Fruehauf dry van, 1950, on a trailer. I need to know how much it weighs. Any ideas. Thanks

I'll have to guess at around 8,000 lbs. I've not been around any 50's trailers but pulled many from late 60's to 90's.

A late 70's, 40-42 ft Freuhauf weighs in around 13,000 lbs, tandem axle, regular springs, budd wheels, 11x24.5 tires.

Odd that on all the trailer sites, none that I looked at showed the empty weight of the trailers. In the past it seems Freuhauf and Great Dane built the heavier trailers from my experience.
