Single heaviest load from a place that consisted entirely of vintage computer stuff? Probably the equipment from Jackson Type: https://i.imgur.com/At4TtIf.jpg 24-foot box truck nearly but not quite full. Either the CDC 9766 pack drives or the AN/UYK-1 (TRW-130, Fairchild 2300) were the heaviest single units in that load. I don't know if they count as vintage computers and I didn't drive the truck, but the current set of pick-and-place machines in the shop were upgraded from OS/2 VME computers to a VME Pentium 3 running Windows 2000 and weigh 6000 LBS each. There are three of them, plus other stuff, including a stencil printer that runs MS-DOS 6.22. The load in which they were delivered filled an entire 53-foot semi trailer.

Okay VCFers, what was your one largest single vintage computer haul?
Mine is easily ~2001 time frame. Four Cray J932SE systems in one 18' dock height truck. It almost flipped on it's side. Probably 12000+ pounds of 'puter. That was the mountaintop of vintage system collecting for me then.
