I couldn’t tell you the weight, but it’s heavy. I pulled it with a forklift and laid on the floor. I wanted to see the underside and figured I would flip it on end to stand it up. I tried by hand and it wasn’t happening. I’m not a weight lifter, but I’m capable. I’d be inclined on 3, or more likely 4, sets of strong hands.
Oh and my bed had lots of weight reduction. Rust

Archie, I hear ya. I couldn't even pick up a corner. I ordered a bed lifting tool ,attaches to the inside bed lip, but I still will need a way of picking up the bed. Wish I had an A frame.

Well, if you have time and energy, you can always start jacking up one corner at a time and blocking it up. Then when you get it high enough you can slip a 2x6 or some steel, whatever you have underneath and across the bottom side, one for the front and one for the rear. Use 2x6's that are long enough to catch sawhorses or something similar sitting outside the box. Jack it more if you need more clearance and the move the truck ahead and out from under it. It takes time that way, but I have done it before I had a hoist.
