I would venture around 12-15lbs per ring. They are heavy. Even the small one is more than a two-man lift.
Common sense should prevail if not, misery will.

unless they are free, stay away. They are furnace cast, pays less that drop breakable cast. Don't ask why, I do not know.

it was all free but I think it's gone by now. I wish I had seen it earlier in the day, I could have gone by with my trailer and got it all.

I don't know much about scrap metal but I've lifted some of them before and I'd say that lot must be upwards of 500lbs maybe even double that depending on te thickness they are all manufactured to different qualities.
