The Replacement Slider Base for B&W 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch item # BWRVB3370 for the B&W Companion Slider item # BWRVK3370 weighs 192 lbs. The Replacement Head Assembly for B&W Companion 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches item # BWRVC3006 weighs 69 lbs.
The B&W Companion weighs over 250 lbs. If that's not something you're interested in moving by yourself and don't want to have to rely on someone to help you then I recommend purchasing the B&W 5th Wheel Lifting Device for Companion and Patriot Hitches item # BWRVXA3130. This heavy duty steel tool lets you lift your B&W 5th-wheel hitch from your truck bed with a hoist. The 5th-Wheel jaws clamp around the device for a secure grip.
Don't forget your lube plate. The Lube Plate for 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches - 10" Diameter item # RP83002 will prevent scratches on your fifth-wheel's skid plate and ease trailer hookup.
