[GreenKeys] Model 28 ASR Info

[Nick England]

 The 28ASR is 260 lbs total - you definitely need a buddy.
It is not too difficult to tip into and out of an SUV -  figure you are
each lifting 1/4 of that.

Even if you remove all the insides and the dome lid, etc. there is plenty
of steel left. Maybe still 80-100 lbs?

I have only had to move mine downstairs, not up. It wasn't hard going down
by myself with a hand truck.
Good luck!
