It should be fine. You could always replace the 1 strap bolt with a hardened bolt if it is not already hardened.

I use it with a 6000 lb. winch and pulled tractors out of the mud. This is a solid piece and should do what you want to do with no problem.

Well.. it has plastic bushings which are OK for light duty use mine lifts a plow, and works ok, however I believe Warn has a fair lead with a larger diameter bottom roller supported by ball bearings. Might be better for your application.

Its for a 2000K+ lb. winch so I don't think it would have a problem with a murphy bed but I could not help but chuckle at your application-Good luck

It's not 80lbs heavy that's for sure! Mine is full...totally full bursting at the seams and I can still pick it up, awkwardly, and only briefly, but I can manage. Full I would think mine is 45 to 50? The construction is solid. I would recommend it, I love it!

It is quite sturdy but an exact amount cannot be determined by us as my wife weighs a mere 114, and I am a bit south of 175. That's not a fair test. I would guess however, that it could easily support 300 lbs.

I have no idea since I've never stressed tested it to the point of destruction. That being said, it's a very sturdy little bench. It can easily support 210 lbs. I would imagine that it could handle 300 lbs with no problem; not certain though.

I am not sure on that one! I would really hesitate to do it, because of it's shape, I think the wind would just lift it right off the vehicle. Also it weighs enough that it would be really difficult to lift it that high. But a pick-up truck or a really small light weight trailer would be great. Hope this helps.

Yes. We have a two-story house, and my wife and I were even able to carry the main portion of the unit with the flywheel up a staircase with a 45-degree turn using moving straps, and she's not that big. :)We've also wheeled the unit between rooms on the second floor of our home without having to take it apart. It is pretty long, but you grab it from the back and it tilts up on wheels under the front/flywheel area at which point it can be pivoted and steered around. Our hallways are pretty tight but we were still able to move it around easily. Even with the wheels, it is quite heavy when assembled so I would recommend the wheeling-around being a two-person job.

The hinges themselves will actually carry a tremendous amount of weight--far more than the 300 lbs. they advertise. The weak link is whether or not the book case itself will handle the additional load without sagging or racking, assuming the hinge fasteners don't pull out. Three hundred lbs. is pushing the limit without doing some engineering. Keep heaviest object close to the hinge side. Mix in some fake books to keep weight down. Employ a roller wheel if you have the ingenuity.

45 degrees right and left. If you need more of an angle and are mechanistically inclined you can move the support arms closer together. The arms are the thing that limits the angle. If you move the arms that attach to the wall closer together you will get maybe 55 60 degrees. Only try this if you are confortable with supporting heavy objects.

I think if you google it will be a better estimate than I can give you. Perhaps even call the company??? It is really solid and probably would hold someone fairly hefty.

I have those and they look ok strong. But I did not put close to 300 lbs on it...maybe 100-150 max so far, and it handled ok.So, good luck.

twist it 90 degrees and pull up, you may have t twist it back and forth while pulling up.

Actual weight handling I do hot know. But make sure you have long enough screws and and large enough to be secured into framework. I weigh 300Lbs and have have not had a problem with mine.

It is just about 1 level up from "junk". I have one that I use to lift a pickup bed cover.. This fiberglass bedcover probably weighs about 150-200 pounds. It is all that I can do to pull the rope hard enough to lift this cover and I am 6' tall and weigh 210lbs.. So far the cover hasn't fallen on the ground; but the rope is so light I am always surprised that it hasn't fallen... Also there is so much friction because the pullies are not riding on bearings.. Just bolts.. If what you are wanting to lift is over 200lbs. forget about this item.

I have a double door van that weighs 6000 lbs and it lifts either end no problem. I would assume an extra 300 pounds gross wouldn't make a difference. That's probably only going to put a few extra pounds on the jack since you aren't actually lifting the entire 6300 lbs with the jack.

I didn't purchase it to climb with, I use it to bring down hay bales from the top of an 88 bale stack. And, it did not fare well ... the hook arms need to be welded solid, they broke loose for us and my nephew was going to have them welded before using it again. Boy, depending on it with full body weigh (bales average 110-125 lbs) I don't know if I would depend upon this piece of equipment!

It's suppose to be 300 lb.s But I wouldn't get it, the one I have has thin metal and it snap while i tried to get out of it. The one I had bought before was an better quality, and for the same price, Ten years later its an cheaper product. Don't waste your money. Look for a better quality one(not made in china).

Sorry, its out of the box long time ago. Since its unassembled the box is not big at all. Should not be more than 30lbs
