If you know the manufacturer and the model you should be able to look it up. Just the top plate will be a couple hundred or so unless you do aluminum, the add in the risers and whatever length of slider you have.
spindrift Thanks this. -
shot in the dark here, 250 to 300 pounds? I just replaced the top plate on mine about a year ago,it was heavy, But I could carry the top plate By myself. It was a little over 150 by itself if I had to guess. Jost fifth wheelspindrift Thanks this.

Depends on the model. The fontaine pos that came on my old pete was right at 390 for the whole assembly with the plate being 120ish. The holland fw70 i put on was just shy of 900 when it was said and done for the whole assembly and the top plate was 350ish on its own.
silverspur and spindrift Thank this. -
Yikes.

Im an end dump so i use a really heavy duty system. Standard 5th wheels and rails break and bend easily due to the forces involved. So as i said depends on the model.spindrift Thanks this.
