When I was 19, part of my job was to refill the paper for the printers. Each box weighed between
40 and 70 pounds. We had a contest where we would see how much we could move by ourselves.
My record was about 1940 pounds… just short of one ton. This was on a wheeled, flatbed cart.
That was by myself. Easily could 1000 pounds be moved by a team in a single night.
