I can't find the weight in any of my references

very heavy. Three people can move them up a slight slope with some effort
but you would not successfully lift it into a car (assuming that it would
fit). I'm planning to dismantle them to move them (i.e. remove PSU/PSUs
etc. until they are light enough to move). A tail-lift would probably be
the sane way to go (and is, indeed, how they got to their current
location.
It was probably youthful stupidity, but I transported an AlphaServer 2100
in my VW Golf 4 back in the day. I also lifted it out myself (luckily it
was on castors so just needed to make it out of the car). Sadly the machine
later died but I passed it on to a fellow Alpha-owner who stripped it for
parts.
Glad you managed to find homes for all three of them.
Cheers, MJ
