    I know sometimes the company claimed weight is different from the actual weight. Now probably most of you with these plate bumpers likely didn't weight them or maybe didn't care about the weight. And it's pretty hard to weigh them. But I thought I'd ask...

    All Pro claims ~180lbs.
    Demello claims ~100lbs.

    Thats a big difference between those two. But has anyone, perchance, actually weighed their AP, Demello, or other plate bumper?

    Yep.
    The RelentlessFab steel is ~120 lbs IIRC

    I had to use a jack to install, no way one person could do it easily.

    The all-pro plate is 118lbs. I used a bathroom scale. I could put it on and take it off by my self.

    Ah, maybe I misheard the rep when I called. 180 vs 118. Close...I hope I heard wrong. I'm assuming you weighed all three pieces, not just the center main.

    Yeah, so maybe approx. 180 w/o pallet weight? How much you think just the bumper weighs?

    yeah, $100 more than steel and you don't have to redo your suspension if you already have a lift to support a heavier steel bumper (Also won't rust).

    Oh, yes. Very good point!! That's a cost and labor savings charge too.

    Aluminum however, is a soft metal. And with these bumpers taking direct hits, it's not as impact-proof as steel. I just don't think it would be as durable as steel in the longrun.

    It looks like at least 3 brands (All Pro, Relentless, Demello) of these steel plate bumpers are within 10lbs of each other, about 100lbs average. That's good for me since those are the brands within reasonable driving distance for me to pick up and save on uber high shipping
