I would like to know what the average weight is for an average machine in a machine tool shop?

Know this is difficult – I was thinking of a CNC lathe or something like it – would it be one ton, two? I need to calculate shipping based on weight – I can visualise the size but not weight

I’m a CNC machinist, hard to say an average, depending on lathe or mill, big or small, I run mazak quik turns, which i think are about 3000 pounds.
I’ve worked on other lathes that were in the 5000 & 6000 range.
I’ve also worked on mills that were 10 – 15000 pounds.
If you know the make and model of the machine, maybe do a google search for the mfg. and check their dimensions and weight.
