Stone Weight Calculator

Work out what a block actually weighs before you try to lift it.

Stone is heavier than almost everyone expects on their first estimate. A 60 cm cube of marble is roughly 580 kg — more than most workshop hoists will lift, and far more than two people can move. This calculator gives you the number before you commit to a block.

Inputs

Things to know

  • Densities are typical values for the stone type. Real blocks vary by several percent.
  • Always add a handling margin. The recommendation below already includes a 10 % allowance.
  • A dense block on a pallet is heavier than the stone alone. Add the pallet.
