Does anyone have any information regarding weight of an old 230 kV Oil circuit breaker 3-single tanks (see picture below).
We were unlucky isearching in Goglee A link or nameplate, manual, dwg, etc could be a great help

We've got some circa 1974 Westinghouse breakers that look similar. From the nameplate:

WEIGHT WITH OIL: 68550# OIL PER TANK: 1680 GAL
 
I just changed out a similar Westinghouse 138kV unit and I believe it was ~34000 lb, including oil. Ours was a 1955 vintage. I believe the own got their monies worth.
