That's a vending machine warning sticker. They weigh a lot more than a vid.

Your not kidding. My uncle bought 2 old coke machines from the 70s or so. Big monster things they were. Then the wife started poking him to get rid of them after they sat there for 2 years.
it took 3 of us to move each one. it took One very big guy that you thought could have handled it alone, and two other people to help keep the weight off of him.

I helped a guy move a 7ft tall vending machine a few months ago. It was in the office about 6 or 7 steps up from ground level. There was a label on the back showing the weight,basically a quarter of a ton ! We had it on an appliance dolly and it took 2 guys at each side to guide it down the stairs so that it didnt run away from us. Once we got it to the truck, 2 of us got it on by the tilt and pivot method mentioned above and slid it in on a moving blanket. First and last time i want to touch one of those beasts.
