Weight of average 36 lamp bed - tanTALK

I figure an average weight of a 36 lamp tanning bed is about 500 lbs? Trying to get a shipping quote.

With Magnetic ballast tray I'd guess closer to 750 lbs.

If you are shipping remember:

- Fasten the unit itself to the pallet (drill a hole through frame if you have to)

-Block and/or drill down the ballast tray so it doesn't "get legs" in transit

- Shrink wrap tightly with pillows or something to keep canopy from bouncing around

- Consider putting a few wraps of shrink wrap around the ends of the canopy to keep the top acrylic in position, if it would get lose in transit.

- If you have unattached plastics (foot plate,...), wrap them in bubble wrap or encase in foam or something - don't just 'Ride' on the acrylic or it will get scratched up.
