One other main part of the trebuchet was the throwing arm. It is used to sling object such as corpses and large stones, that weight at least over 200 pounds. If the trebuchet didn't have a throwing arm it wouldn't be of much use. The throwing arm weighs at least over half a ton. these are some pictures of throwing arms. I found these at www.travelaroundeurope.co.uk/warwick/warwick-... and tantaurus.net/trebuchet/php/project_details.php .
