Here is an approximate value. It will depend on the type of steel.
1/4" = 1/48'
4' x 8' x 1/48' = .667 ft³.
The density of steel is around 490 lbs per ft³
.667 ft³ x 490 lbs / ft³ = 327 lbs.

What kind of steel?
7.85 g/cc (typical value assumed)
48 x 2.54 = 121.92 cm (4ft)
243.84 cm (8ft)
.25 x 2.54 = 0.635
0.635 x 121.92 x 243.92 x 7.85 = 148191 grams or 148.191 Kg
