Default Shipping Weight & Dimensions - T-56?

Anyone know about what size container I would need and the weight of it, roughly, so that I may get an accurate shipping quote from my work? Thanks!

Sterlite 45gal container from Walmart.. About $16. With packing material, it should be about 140#.. Fits under the 150# UPS Ground limit.

Like they said, its roughly 145lbs. When i shipped mine, i used fedex freight, and just strapped it to a pallet. Did it twice, without any issues.

I do agree the tighter you pack it the better off you will be and even then damage still may occur... My tote came back so mangled it had to be held together with duct tape and tie straps!!! just glad the trans made it ok
