I was just wondering this. Of course the antique cast iron oil baths win I'm sure, followed down to the current Originals which are still quite heavy.
I've lifted some of those 80s GE vents with the huge cast iron spinner inside and those very heavy too.
Plus my Fasco Great Room is hefty with the big stack motor in it.

Generally, the cast-iron oil-bath fans are the heavyweights. If we're talking absolute heaviest, however, that crown is most likely held by this... Behold, the Westinghouse Deluxe (c.1906-1910). Westinghouse's first ceiling fan model, its hanging weight comes in at a MASSIVE 75 lbs.  Second heaviest is probably the Century 'open-top' spinner. This little piggy weighs in at 68 lbs.  Now when it comes to "normal" modern heavyweights, those would actually be any of the ultra-large (larger than 60") new fans, such as the 72" Fanimation Edgewood Supreme, which uses a massive 212x35mm AC spinner motor; its hanging weight is almost 38 lbs. |

If I remember, some of the Hunter Originals were kind of heavy... and the Venus and Venus Halo are also heavy if I recall

We all have to admit, Big Ass Fans have to be the heaviest.  |

among my fans,
1940s USHA ceiling fan's motor itself is around 17 kgs, with its blades and downrod it could reach 20
hunter originals without a doubt!
hunter 1886, i think it is a little lighter than the originals
GEC kingsway, roughly 20 kgs per fan
