I have axle barbell, can this rack hold more than 800 pounds ?

No. I would say yes IF this rack were still made of 11 gauge steel, instead of thinner 12 gauge (from the Bodycraft website: 2" x 3" , 12 Gauge Steel Tubing). Based on their website specs, they've 'cheapened' this rack with thinner-walled steel and Amazon has yet to update their specs. For weight that heavy, go with 11 gauge steel, such as the Titan HD rack (which also comes with the 4 plate holders) or the GPR378 rack.

I exchanged emails with them a few years ago about its weight capacity. They said they had dropped 1200 lbs on the spotters and hooks and it didn't budge (I still have the old email). I don't know if it would endure that beat for long or anything would for that matter. I certainly wouldn't drop that kind of load on the front hooks outside the rack without having it bolted on the floor! You could tip the rack. Also the dip bars are rated at 250 lbs a piece.

Wow 800lbs.? It might, but I think I would feel alot safer with a full on commercial unit that is rated for atleast 1200lbs.

I don't know its max capacity but its a solid steel bar and it can hold as much weight as a home lifter can handle. I use up to 70 lbs (35 per end) but it will handle over 100, which is a huge!!! curling weight.

Well if you lift that amount of weight then your question makes no sense as someone who squats or lifts that much usually knows how to lift with good technique and doesn't miss the hooks. No rack can help you, except your technique.

I have never put that much weight on mine, but based upon the sturdiness of the wheels, I would say yes. The frame easily could hold that much weight.

I believe the limit is listed as 400 lbs. However, my rack is fully loaded w suits, coats, jackets and should be at if not over that weight!

I,also, don't know the weight capacity of my rack. I have it loaded with all my blouses and sweatshirts and remains sturdy...no sign of weakness in the rods or frame. It has been a life saver for me. Hope this helps you.

I'm not sure about the max weight that it can hold but it'll hold more than enough to curl with. Like Frank said, if you plan on really loading it up, you may want an Olympic bar. I use mine mainly with my preacher bench and it's fine.

The rails themselves are adjustable depending on the rack depth that you have. This would definitely be able to support it. I believe that the shelf on the rails is at least 12".

Its a very sturdy bike/heavy bike rack but I really like the one I bought. I would say as long as the 2 inch receiver you have put on your vehicle will hold a decent amount of weight you will be okay. I would say the rack plus 3 to 4 bikes will weight between 100-125 depending on the weight of the bikes. Again I did a lot of research before I bought my bike rack and it works very good.

Hi Wesley,Sorry I am not able to answer your question. We only use the bar with 125 and 147 pounds of load.However it holds fine at these weights.Good luck in your research.

Yes. I am bench pressing 235lbs. Rack is strong but light. It will move. I have it placed against the wall and I gently "drop" bar on rack.

Weight limit is 75lbs. You may need the Thule 830. I don't like it as much but will give you some stability in your rails.

Yes, I have a shelf on my brackets. They will support about 8 pounds or so.

This rack has three mounting holes on the strut, on my bicycle, I used the shortest option (on an '80s Schwinn tandem-26" wheels). It should fit with no problems. It's not the "beefiest" rack, but it should hold 20 pounds easily.

I had 530 lbs on the rack already. I would not go over 600lbs, The rack was strong and sturdy with no problems with the weight I had, I am a olympic lifter in the masters, This power rack is perfect for me.

I own this rack and though I am planning on getting a new one, I can say that I used it for 7 months with one elite powerlifter and one other guy who both squat 700+ and the rack didn't even wobble. I think on body solids website they state it can handle up to 1000. Hope that helps.
