It depends on the intensity of the tornado.
Weak tornadoes (EF0 and EF1) can lift some small debris, such as shingles and small roof sections.
Strong tornadoes (EF2 and EF3) can easily lift roofs and pieces of wood. Road vehicles may be tossed short distances. Some EF3 tornadoes have been know to lift trees into the air.
Violent tornadoes (EF4 and EF5) have been known to lift very large and heavy objects including trains, buildings, and heavy construction equipment.

What is the maximum weight an average tornado can pick up?

Can tornadoes pick stuff up?

What kind of receptor determines the weight of an object when you pick it up?
Proprioceptors are the type of receptors that help determine the weight of an object when you pick it up. These receptors are located in our muscles and joints, and provide feedback to our brains about the position and movement of our body parts.
Tornadoes pick up dirt and what else?
It varies depending on where the tornado goes and how strong it is. In addition to dirt even weak tornadoes can pick up pieces of vegetation and any light, loose objects that happen to be in their path. Stronger tornadoes can pick up light vehicles, roofs, and outbuildings. The very strongest tornadoes can lift virtually anything, including whole trees, well-constructed houses, train cars, and even pieces of asphalt.
