How much does an AC unit weigh? A typical home condenser runs roughly 100 to 350 pounds. A commercial rooftop unit like this one weighs far more, which is why it arrives by crane, not hand truck.

A crane hoists a commercial packaged rooftop unit up over a parking lot, a SwiftPro truck parked below. Up on the flat gravel roof, a worker in a hi-vis vest and white hard hat waits to guide it in.
A packaged rooftop unit, or RTU, holds the whole system in one cabinet: compressor, coils, blower and often a gas heat section. It sets down onto a curb, a raised frame that lines up with the duct openings in the roof. The audio is a playful hot-and-cold game, called out as the unit swings toward the curb.
Most home condensers land somewhere between about 100 and 350 pounds, depending on size and efficiency. Larger and high efficiency units sit at the heavy end. Two techs with a hand truck can move most of them. Commercial rooftop units can weigh several thousand pounds, so those go up by crane.
