Re: How much weight...

Are you sure of that? Yes it would be easier to get moving, but have you ever tried to stop a full pallet on a pallet truck once it's moving? And in that situation friction is working in your favour!

Reducing friction will be good, but it won't negate momentum, and momentum for a heavy object is always going to be a bitch.
