Ranalah (English) wheel weight

[pressbrake1]

hello I was wondering if anyone here had a accurate ish weight of a ranalah wheeling machine

I have a evil plan and need the weight to see if I can find a foundry in modern England with the capacity.
Thanks

My son just bought this one it seems to be a solid unit we just shimmed it to the base to stop a slight rock side to side and it came very well packed in moulded styrofoam.

Hopefully I can get a quote to cast around the £2k mark and then it’s viable to make a pal and myself one .
I sold mine when I was offered silly money thinking Id find another for sensible money. That was six years ago
I have the machining capacity to make it so why not

We made a couple out of 1/2 plate one full-size with adjustable anvils top and bottom and one on legs with a full length anvil shaft for beading the dies were never make though.

Just updating thread incase someone searches in the future.
A ranalah is 15cwt so allow 750kg with casting variations
