keg1 Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 Anyone have a rough idea what a Mh cab weighs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timmyb Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 If I were to have a guess, I'd say between 2 or 3 ton. Someone told me a kw cab was 2t and they are mainly aluminium and fibreglass. Like I said, I'm just guessing. if it's for lifting or carrying purposes then it's always better to guess a bit more. Maybe the size of the hydraulic rams might give a good starting estimate?

keg1 Posted May 18, 2016 Author Share Posted May 18, 2016 Thanks, I was thinking somewhere in there. My forklift is good for about 4000 and I figured the cab would be a little over that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ranchhopper Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 The fully dressed superliner cab I had shipped was 1500 pounds. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ws721 Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 A MH cab will be quite a bit heavier than an R cab. I want to say ive heard a full dressed fiberglass cab is @ 4500 lbs. Not cast in stone, my memory isn't what it use to be Quote Remember if it's got a hood it's no good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I figured it would be quite a bit heavier than an r cab but wasn't sure how much. I would like to get it off the frame but hate to have it get away from me. It's not in that great of shape but I don't want to smash it in case someone could use it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timmyb Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 I'm wondering how much weight could be removed from the cab. Things like seats, doors, stacks, interior parts and glass? Maybe you can knock up/hire a mobile gantry crane. Lift one side with that and your forklift on my he other side and drag the chassis out.

BC Mack Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 doesn't take too long to strip the cab clean, doors, steering column, fenders, headlight panels etc... the dash is always worth saving for the gauge circuit boards... and the wiring harnesses too. the shell is only useful if you buckle and crack your cab, not easy to "un-glue" the panels... but can make a great new home for the chickens.. might be a better approach and just put it all in boxes.???? then you've got to find somewhere for the boxes... hmm.. ok, store them in the empty shell..!!! LOL and let us not forget one of our brethren Farmer52... he still needs stuff too.... BC Mack 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keg1 Posted October 27, 2016 Author Share Posted October 27, 2016 In case anyone cares took the Mh cab to landfill and it weighed 2200 lbs. Less than I figured. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where's that landfill? Do you have anything left off that cab? I'm in interest for lower airbag brackets and some parts off the gear shifter.

BAD DOG Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 MH cab fully dressed is heavy.i had a parts one and I could not fully lift the cad with the hoe on a Case 580 D was able to lift just enough to drag it off the chassis. I would guess probably 4000lbs for fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking around 4000 lbs. but when I took it to the dump it was only 2200. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
