Heavy solid construction. First job was to fabricate a trolley for it so it could be moved by one man. Two men can lift from ground to trolley but you wouldn’t be wanting to carry it for more than a couple of feet. 4 men needed to carry any distance. Arc is easy to strike. Engine easy to start. 1x240v and 32A and 16A 110v sockets make it versatile. I have no complaints it is ideal.
