They are usually pretty light - in the 3-7 psf range - check this out.
Biggest problem is they truly do float - so dismantling can be tricky. We usually put light weight shoring (think scaffolding) under the whole thing and then dismantle.

Make sure that the instructions require demolition, removal and disposal.
Otherwise, you might end up with a pile of contaminated metal in you parking lot.

And BTW - do it symmetrically - so loads don't become too unbalanced.

Once you have determined the weights of the sections - YES - make sure the crane is capable.
And do it in smaller sections and symmetrically!!
