what is the weight limit for the racks? I want to put my 12 foot Jon boat on top, weighs less than 200lbs..thx

I'd be more worried about the air turbulence ripping that Jon boat off the roof than the 200lb weight.

I don't know the weight limit. However, when we went on vacation, I am absolutely sure we had at least 200lbs on top of the SUV. Hope it helps!

Too weak. I originally bought it for a lighter load and then gave them to my son, who tried to use them to haul his one-person kayak, and they were marginal at best. He ended up buying a Thule rack (which can also be locked). Hope this helps.

I'm not sure of the weight limit. We bought this item a few years back. I will tell you we have candles and a steel model car on the top and a USCG miniature boat on the other... probably about 5 lb. all together. It's very sturdy ,so I'm sure it will hold more if needed. The biggest factor would be how well it's mounted, and whether it's on panel or sheet rock (if I remember, it comes with screws and expanders for sheet rock) Hope that helps in your decision. I've been happy with this item.

I think they only have an 840 pound limit. If your boat and trailer exceed that, it would be unsafe.

The unit is well built. The description would lead you to believe it can handle 200 lbs for 2 of the shelves and 65 lbs for the third. I don't think I would trust the wheels and structure to support 465 lbs total. I would be leery exceeding 250 lbs total. If nothing else, it may become top-heavy and be unstable.

The weight shouldn't be a problem, the only thing I might consider would be if your rack is top heavy? This cart is not very big around.

I am not sure what the weight rating on the tires is? I don't know that I would push the weight rating more than maybe 100lbs. Also this will sit under the cart best when the boat has a keel (to fit into the slight V on the cart.) without knowing the weight or shape of this boat, I can't answer this well, but it is pretty versatile, and should be able to dolly a wide variety of items, soooo, most likely?

It is rated at 500 lbs. I weigh 230 and it does not move when I get on it. So I think the 500 lbs. is a safe bet. If you plan to put more then that on it you need something more then this anyway.

Ours is holding 2x 12' kayaks with no problem, so at least &gt;150-200 lbs.

I have mine set up to hold two kayaks so they are at the maximum height which is five feet. The top kayak extends about 3" above the top of the racks. They are very well built and work great, I highly recommend.

We bought them to haul our 12 ft tandem kayak which is 70 pounds. We traveled a hundred miles with it. It seems sturdy enough but I wouldn't go over the 100 pound limit. They were really easy to install as well.

2 will easily hold 200lbs. I ran 8 foot 1x6" boards as a shelf and stacked plenty of stuff on it. I am 185lbs. and i have no problems hanging off the bottom of 2 of them. Just make sure you bolt them into studs.

I think the weight limit is 200lbs, so you could fit 2 children but a lot of men would be over the limit with just 1 person per boat.

I think the rack is flimsy. A 12" kid's bike isn't going to work on the rack well. This rack sounds great in description, but in reality need to be re engineered.

You can use the roof rack but not by itself if you have a 2 inch hitch on your truck I would recommend you also use a "L" type carrier which is adjustable. I have a 12 foot canoe and between the two it works great because I can adjust the "L" to a height that also allows me to carry my flat boat in the bed of the truck. I like the "L" and cab roof rack because I only need to put them on the truck when I need them. Hope this helps. Jep

I'm 5'8'' and the one kayak I haul around is about 62lbs. I have a Jeep Liberty, with the racks it's about 72-ish inches. When the loaders were working properly - suction cups secure, and the track not hanging up - I didn't have any problems loading it or getting it into the cradles. However, I do carry around a small step stool with me. Once the loaders are at the top, I get on the step stool to push the kayak into the cradles.

You'll want to double check this in their literature, but I recall reading 500 lbs. as the limit, which is double what most "car" racks will do.
