i think they weight a little more than that. at least 50. but the past year, we had one of the heaviest crates at NJ, at a little over 800lbs. i don't really know how we do it, but i think the crate itself weighs maybe 300. we built it to the specifications given in the kit, and i dont think anything (within reason) could break it. we are going to try to do something different this year to save weight, to avoid overage charges.
