How much weight can this hold?would it be ok for climbing trees?

I'm fairly certain it's over 1000 lbs. I just checked their web site and the manual and can't find a weight rating. But if you look up most thick braided ropes like this, the weight rating is way above 300 lbs. The HSS harnesses have weight ratings from 250-300 and they state that all over the place. The harnesses also have many points of failure, such as sewed seams and plastic buckles. A rope is a different story. The fact this doesn't have it stated all over tells me it's not really an issue. A tiny piece of paracord has a 550 lb weight rating, and that's about 1/10th the thickness of this rope. I'm fairly certain it's over 1000 lbs.

I believe that the max weight capacity is 300 lbs. It should be good for climbing trees as long as it is attached to a secure point to where you wish to climb. Since I purchased mine I will not climb to any height without using my safety system.

Seems like it was 250 or 300#s. I have this at all of my hanging stand locations and require anyone wanting to hunt there to use the life line. It is the only way to go. You are secure from your first step, getting into the stand and returning to the ground. It does not interfere in any way while hunting. I highly recommend them.

I don't know how much weight it can hold, but the rope is good and thick. I've been using one with my tree stands for 2 years. I like the added security of not falling. Also, it is quite easy to use.

I don't recommend that. It's pretty light I don't think it can handle much weight.

It's not that heavy, however you have to strap it to the tree. The top stem has to be sturdy.

My 2 year old scales it. It's not wobbly but it's definitely not meant as a climbing toy. I'm sure it can and will break with too much weight pulling at it.

It's pretty sturdy. I've got 3 kids who climb all over it and it's held up well. I guess it would depend upon whether the gentleman sat down and put on his shoes, then got back up again, or if he used it as a stepstool to climb up to a higher shelf (partial-weight, stable mass -vs- full weight, moving mass). I would say -probably.-

Hello, Thank you for the question.Would depend on if the climbing stand has a shooting rail that's incorporated with it, or if you plan to leave the climber in the tree and use some of the tree steps to get in and out with it. Other wise we would have to say no.Thank youWorldGoodsCorp

Yes, it supports my 200 pounds, but be careful. Actually, just tried it. It held me, but as others said it isn't really a step. I wouldn't do it again withot being able to hold on to something.

This meant as a general Comment for all the Answers: Thank you everyone for all your answers. At topping 300lbs, I suspect I wouldn't be able to even sit on this without being worried about crushing it, heh. I usually don't pay a lot of attention to weight limits on things that seem like they should be ultra sturdy (I have no problems climbing a ladder with a 200lb rating, for instance, I just don't jump up and down on it and I balance my weight). But it sounds like this would be an injury waiting to happen. Thank you all for taking your time to answer this!

yes and no. The sticky back will stick to wood, I use it to hold cables on my desk. However, I wouldnt assume it can hold a lot of weight, especially over time. If your just tying up cables, or something relatively light, these will work fine.

The manufacturer says it will hold 3300 pounds. Hauling rocks you could exceed that easily. I wouldn't do it.DB

Basically it can climb anything less then 20 inches in diameters easy. What is the safest tree you think you should climb? Less then 8 inch diameter being over 200 lbs is not very comfortable in wind. You can climb bigger then 20 inches but for me it is awkward to climb until the tree stand levels. Overall I have not been able to find a tree in a section of woods that I can not climb that I wanted to hunt. I weigh about 225 for reference. You can email me for more information mmixon33@gmail.com about my experiences.

It is pretty solid, it will hold over 300 lbs. It would probably depend on how big a piece of wood you are working on. It should be on level, solid surface however. SG

Depends on how much gear your hauling with you. I would not go over the manufacturers rating if you value your safety. Tree stands are inherently dangerous so think safety!

I don't recommend this for a kid climbing on it. It's good for holding towels, magazines, blankets, etc...but it's not stable enough for a kid to climb. Hope this helps!

for what its intended to be used for, I'd say it's pretty sturdy. not to be climbed on, etc.

Unless you have 500 lbs of gear, you'll be fine. That stand is a fine piece of equipment and I've been very satisfied with the one I bought. As a matter of fact, I feel more secure in it than many of the ladder stands I hunt from. Good luck and be safe.

If you plan to load it with books and other weighty things, you should not have a problem. I have mine on hardwood floors, but loaded with electronics and books and of course the decorative item or 2. Mine are stable. I do not have small children around climbing though.
