I cannot say what the maximum load it with hold, but it has held a guest in my home who weighed 300 pounds.

I think it is rated at 250 to 300 lbs max but you should bear in mind that the heaver the weight and the longer the use would take its toll on the equipment sooner.

This machine can hold 5-6 45's per side(Which is 450-540lb). I wouldn't recommend it though. This machine is more than enough for any weight lifter unless you are extremely strong and have a reason to pull 400+...

For the money this is a good machine, but there are weight restrictions. I am not sure exactly what they are, maybe 250. I have had mine for 2 years and recently the belt broke so you can't tighten the tension on it. I still ride it but don't get the full effect

I'm not sure of the exact weight limitation but i would imagine that is around 260 - 270.

Hello this machine can hold quite a bit of weight, I've loaded each stack with 2, 45lb plates (270lbs),but make sure you get the Olympic adapter sleeves because the machine itself will only hold standard weights. Body solid carries a very good adapter sleeve, they offer2, a short one & a longer sleeve go with the longer one. They are easy to attach.

I sent an email to XMark and they responded today by saying that the maximum weight it can support is 275 pounds. Hope this helps everyone! Have a great day!

Well - hard to say. The manufacture states 'Maximum weight recommendation 200 Pounds '. I weight over 200 lbs and it seems very stable for me

I'm not sure about an exact weight, but it holds at least 225 and some times 315 for me. The problem lies with control. Since the unit is one large upright tower it has very little lateral support. If you do any movements with or a weight you can not purely push vertically the machine could shift( it's actually light for a smith machine) or cause the tower supports to become unstable. I have personally loved mine because of its compact size, but as I mentioned, i only do very controlled motions and make sure my form is tight throughout the entire lift. Hope that helps.

I've had mine about a year now and I suppose it would depend on the weight of the person using it and how much you use the machine. I'm only 1281lbs and have had any issues with this machine as yet.

Currently have 210 pounds on the machine. Personally, I wouldn't add more than a total of 300 pounds. After that, I would start to worry about the machines stability.

i got some olympic adapter sleeves for it so i could put my olympic plates on it. and i have about 250 lbs worth of plates on it. you probably could easily do well over 300 lbs. it is a very sturdy machine. if you have any more questions feel free to ask me.

I don't know what the max could be, but with the 3:1 ratio you can easily get a good amount of weight without overloading the machine.....plus think of your knees.

I think the manual says something like 500 lbs max but I doesn't specify what, where, or how. I know I've done a seated (ya sitting on the ground) row off the lower pulley with 160ish and that's about the max I've done with it so far. The cable has stretched a little but seems to be okay and the pulley's wiggle a little on the bearing or bolt since I've used it enough but if its a concern for you then you can upgrade the pulley's. I have to weight the back or front on certain excercises to keep it from being pulled forward or backward but its been a great machine.
