is there a weight limit per hook/for the bar? can i hang cast iron pans from it?

I am certain there is a weight limit... not aware what it is. Would not recommend hanging heavy cast iron. However, the hangar is substantially strong.

Guess it depends if you drill the screws in the studs or in the drywall. We did in the drywall and we have 4 noncast iron pans hanging.

I hung from mine, and I am 250 lbs. You just need to use good anchors. I screwed into the studs.

Mine has a lot of weight on it, but no one piece is cast iron. I would suspect that it would have no trouble with that, assuming that the bar is firmly anchored from its ends. It is an extremely sturdy, heavy-duty piece.

It depends on how you hang it. If it is anchored into studs, you should be fine. You'll want to check the weight limit on the anchors you buy, but it should be fine. Ours as anchored into studs and we have 2 cast irons that we hang from it - one is small, and the other is a little larger, but we don't have any very large/heavy pans we hang from it.

Yes, you can hang these pans with hooks. That is how I have mine stored. The pots that don't have handles (with holes in the end) I do not have hanging from hooks.

Probably not. I have a large cast iron skillet and I wouldn't try hanging it on the pot rack. Anything aluminum is ok.

I would not recommend using these hooks at a weight that exceeds their rating, given that they are plastic. And there is no good way to distribute the weight among 3 hooks. Maybe 2, yes, but not 3. I would recommend metal hanger hardware; for example this one, rated at 200 pounds: OOK 55099 Heavy-Duty Drywall Hanger Supports Up to 200 Pounds

The bars can hold a lot of weight so long as you have the bar hanging on the studs in the wall. We love the bar.

I have a 12 inch cast iron skillet that hangs from this thing, plus two large stock pots, two saute pans, and a sauce pot. If you secure it to the ceiling studs it's gonna be as strong as it needs to be. If you plan to do circus trapeze acts with elephants with it...you're gonna be disappointed. If you like how it looks, and if you install it properly it's gonna get the job done. Plain and simple.

I have a dozen pots/pans hanging plus assorted utensils, like ladles, strainers etc. I secured the supplied grill on the inside of the potrack with tie-clips before hanging the utensils, and bought some extra hooks at a hardware store for those. The amount of weight the toggle-bolts support depends on the thickness of the drywall in your ceiling: it's 265 lbs. for 1/2" drywall, and 356 lbs. for 5/8" drywall. That's probably more pots and pans than you'd ever come close to finding room for anyway.

I would hesitate to hang more than 15 lb. provided that the fasteners used to attached the hook are rated at least that high.

I think most bars that hold weight on each end are 35lbs. I didnt weigh it. Just a suggestion, get the weight set w it, n u can change the weights

I do not know the weight limit on the hooks themselves. In our car(s) they have held backpacks full of books and school stuff, as well as my computer bag. I'm guessing easily can hold 20lbs. if using both "appendages" of the one hook. I can not imagine what one would hang from these hooks that would be too heavy.

I don't know what its rated for, but I think 70lbs would be ok. Its probably close to the limit but all you would need is different hooks. The rack is easy to install and looks awesome.

I have about 3-4 pans, including frying pans, hanging from mine, unsure of the weight, but this was the only rack I could find that did not buckle. my set is stainless and copper.

I hung from the cross bars and they held me at 175lbs there was no actual weight limit posted anywhere, I have at least 200lbs all to together being supported and it's been up for 8 months not a single problem..... It's only big enough to use three 1000 watts

The hooks are cast aluminum and the rails are wood set sideways for extra strenght so, while we haven't tried it, but it looks like it would hold cast iron pans IF you bolt the thing to wall studs.

Short Answer: YesLong Answer: You can slide the hooks around to accommodate whatever pots or pans you're looking to hang.

Depends on how you hang it. Frame is very solid. Mine is holding 8 piece set including 2 cast iron skillets along with pots on top.

I don't know the weight limit but I do have a 9 inch cast iron skillet hanging from one of the hooks, without a problem.
