Can this bar really withstand 250 lbs pulling on it?

I mounted two of these for my mother to get into her house.One on the outside and one by the inner door to get up a step by the basement steps.She is 87 years old but not frail by any means.If they are mounted to good solid base I think they would hold more than 250 lbs.If I didn't I would not have installed them and she trusts them completely.She is my mom and I would not put her in danger.She has bad knees and said she couldn't get into her house without the handles.

I weight 223 and use the bar to pull myself from sitting to a standing position.

Oh, yes--the bar can take it. The question might better be, can the wall take it? What's your wall like?

If all the screws are put into studs, then yes. I used 2 inch screws thru the sheet rock into a doubled stud and I believe it will hold that much. The bar and hardware are very solid.

We bought the riser for my mother in law and it is rated to hold 250 lbs. If it were me, I would not chance it. I would find a little stronger one. Sorry.

yes, they are very sturdy. never tested them much over 250 lbs; but we've had them for years and use them daily and they are still very sturdy.

I don't know but it is very sturdy. I would assume it could hold 250 or more.

If you mount it with their lag bolts, probably not. I redrilled mine to a larger bolt and of course put spacers between the ceiling joist. Was a lot of work, but now believe it will hold 250 lbs plus. sorry but better safe than sorry.

Not on one bar, no. You can typically only put about 30lbs on one in my experience.

Tim, it is quite sturdy; the slats are a full 3/4" thick. I don't know what the limit would be, but I'm sure it would hold 2 adults at 250 lbs each.

It's VERY sturdy. I weigh 250 lbs. and use it everyday. It could hold much, much more.

The bar is sturdy enough to use as a grab bar but only if it is secured to adequate backing that is either attached to the framework or large enough to distribute the load to a broad surface of the surround wall.

I don't know what the weight limits are, but it holds 250 lbs with no problem ... still very sturdy and solid feeling.

I don't know what the specification is, but ours have held 250 lbs without any issues.

Maximum weight limit: 100 lbs according to the information I found. The bar itself is 25 lbs.

I'm not sure. It is well made and comfortable. I would guess 250lb would be no problem.

I've put 150lbs. It seem to be fine to me. If you plan to put more then that I would get an Olympic bar. The diameter of the bar is bigger for a better grip.

We have this bar mounted in our garage and it works well, my weight is 160 and it feels secure on the wall, just make sure you mount it high enough to get full advantage of your feet not touching the ground. Great item for the price!

I could not say how much weight it could support. I can say it would easily support 250 lbs.

No, but imagine it would hold at least 250lbs with no problem. I weigh 175lbs.
