Will this rack sway when it is full? I require a commercial grade rack (400 lbs.) and I seem to be breaking the ones I buy at hardware stores.

I have two of these pretty much loaded with clothes and have not noticed any swaying or weakness, but I don't roll them around, they stay in one spot all the time. Hope this helps.

I have mine loaded and have had no problems. Planning to purchase another one soon.

It absolutely will not sway or lean. I have been using one of these as my main closet rack after my original wall-mounted rack collapsed under the weight of my clothing about a year ago! I also have a double rail style of the same rack in my storage space that has been loaded up for over five years. I'm about to purchase another one for storage because they are sturdy and reliable and I know they last.

I can tell you that I have a full ( very full, haha) wardrobe - including about 12 - 15 sweaters and 3 winter coats and the rack doesn't budge!

Not at all. This rack can handle almost anything you can hang up. Won't sway and won't bend

Mine is loaded and fantastic. No sway at all. I actually saw a JC Penny clerk pushing one through the store today and smiled to myself thinking "I own one of those!".

There are locks on two wheels. So when you assemble make sure one of these wheels go on each side. There is no way that it will sway.

Yes, the bolt will tighten it firmly. I have to wiggle the rack around to get the bolt tightened all the way. Then the rack is solid and not wiggling at all.

I have not mounted mine; HOWEVER, I have two units and I have used the mounting rods to connect the two units back to back, which provides support. *IF* all your heavy pieces are on the bottom and you use the top only for light pieces, you'll probably be okay. *BUT* if you plan to put heavy bins on the top rack, you'll want to anchor the unit.

It's pretty sturdy. I think I have 10 or 15 pounds at least on each shelf. I put the heaviest items on the bottom shelf. If you put a lot of weight on the shelves, I think it would be wise to install the wall anchor that came with your unit. I have not anchored mine, but the weight does not seem to cause the unit to be shaky or unbalanced. I think this unit is a good buy, especially at the price.

The rack is built with quality materials. I have not experienced any tilt but I think it would depend on one's body weight. For reference I weight 150.

If you are reasonably careful, but the rack must be "securely" mounted to the wall. I normally have two bikes up, but at times I take the bottom one for a ride leaving the top bike still on the rack. It seems secure and has not been a problem. I would not trust it free standing..

I see that you have already gotten several responses and I agree with those. No problem tilting rack with bikes loaded. On a pickup truck or SUV the bikes would not likely touch the ground. The only way I see that as a problem would be if your hitch is mounted exceptionally low or maybe on a sedan. Go for it. You'll like the rack.

I'll be honest with you - I do not think this is the rack for you if your up to 800 pounds. I was using 220 pounds on the front for squats and just the slightest tug would have caused the rack to tip forward. I have since purchased 2 50-pounds bags of sand and put them at the rear of the base for extra leverage. You may want to look into a higher strength rack like PowerTec. I hope that helps!

If you remove the straps the shelf goes beyond 90 degrees and stops. It will hold a load but I am not sure how much weight it will support.

I returned it. There was way to much sway. I will probably buy a new proper fitting rack

That's interesting. I wonder why they say not to. It seems to me it would work like any other rack I've seen on the back of an RV trailer. You'll need a tow hitch to mount it on and not knowing how secure that might be I don't know if the boucing and wobble might be exaggerated at the end of a trailer and cause some danger.

I dont believe so, not through amazon anyways. If you're having issues with the stability or duability of your rack, dont worry i suffered the same issues. It turns out i didnt assemble it as tight as possible. Turning it on its side and pushing it in will allow it to stay better:) hope i helped

It will probably hold the weight. The problem I had was the verticle supports aren't wide enough to fit my receiver between and also not deep enough to lift the top and fit it down from the top. Shelves aren't adjustable up and down either they are fixed.

I think it will be too wobbly. The method it uses for securing the basket to the rack isn't strong enough.

If this rack truly has a "250 lb. load capacity," then they should show us a picture of it supporting five 45-lb. barbell plates. This is only 225 lbs. and should pose no problem for a "commercial grade" clothing rack with a "250 lb. load capacity." I seriously doubt that a rack whose top and lower bars come in two pieces can support a fraction of that rate without bending, bowing or collapsing.

The rack is designed to be tilted. It cannot be mounted when straight. The tilt also helps to distribute the weight of your rack modules across the base struts.

The manufacturer claims that the rack with the supplied fasteners will hold 100lb. Just to error on the safe side I drill directly into the studs. Then again, that's just me always factoring the worse case scenario.
