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.

Providing you do a good installation . . . easily 300#'s. However if you are not in shape and weigh that much you better buy the pivot table . . . not the rack that mounts to a door frame . . . I weigh around 200 and my son who weights about 250 tried it without any problems. I never had any problems with the straps and I have had mine for a couple of years.

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.

the only time I put that much weight on the bar was on the rack ..I loaded it and let it sit for a little while and then unloaded it .... 600 pounds is a lot of weight ... If you are actually capable of squatting or dead lifting that much to be safe you might want to go with a stronger bar .....This is a really good bar for your average person and will do really well for most, except for super strong people

I've got 80 pounds on mine , but I'm sure they will hold much more , it depends what you want but sticking 10s on each side it'll hold maybe 160 , if the question is the hook itself , I believe they'll hold whatever you put on it , enjoy mine they work great !

Like the previous answer stated, I am sure it can handle the weight however I would be concerned about the holes lining up and on my 60 inch I had to reverse the brackets for it to work ( I called them to make sure that was ok to do and they said yes ), I would seek to find a bracket that matches your 70 inch, not worth risking it not fitting and having to pay to send it back

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

I haven't opened mine but I had a very similar one. I hired a handyman and we put up huge brackets on my lanai beams with an eye-bolt and a chain with a carabiner clip attached to adjustably hang my old one up. NEVER had an issue! Good luck.

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

We have 4 bike on ours and it is not to bad. Our bikes are light. It would depend on how you hang them.

I am not sure what the manufacturer would recommend, but I think that up to about 2-3 pounds you'd be okay. If you have that much weight, though, you probably need to use more than one hook. I think the heaviest thing I have hanging is probably about 1.5 pounds, and it's on 2 hooks.

I suspect the actual rack frame may hold that amount of weight but the loop frames where the tires sit are not that sturdy so I would be reluctant to carry that much especially as the rack will bounce a bit while driving. I think there are other options. Good luck.

Capacity is 1,000 pounds according to New York Barbell. I'm sure it is at least that since this thing is built like a big jack stand. If you were using 1,000 pounds the main concern would be tipping it over rather than breaking it. I put some plate holders on the front uprights and load them extra weights. With a few weights on there the rack behaves like it is bolted to the floor.

The specs state up to 75 lbs. I think that what is just as important is how securely it's mounted to the ceiling. I mounted my two racks using more substantial mounting hardware than came with the kit, stainless steel and somewhat larger.

Ceiling stud will hold it with only 2 hooks, but 4 hooks would give it more stability as the rack is pretty good size.

I had 35 on each bar and it was fine until I set it down. The bars bend very easily because they are cheap. If you don't slam your weights you should be ok. Would put them over your head though, look for a threaded handle for that.

Yes, i mounted mine on the wall in my garage. I weight 205 and has not been an issue. Make sure both sides go into studs.
