how heavy a load will this chain carry?

At least 200 lbs. but I would imagine it also has to do with how much weight the hooks the chain is hanging from can hold too.

It's pretty heavy. I plan to use mine as ballast in the back of my pickup next winter.

with the stock chains, not much. Ours broke with half a dozen apples, some bananas, some garlic, and a butternut squash. I put a better chain on it afterwards and it'll hold 100 lbs. easy.

This is a very stout and heavy piece. It's not appropriate as a towing extension but should be fine for a cargo carrier. My bike rack is about 50lb itself. Add two mountain bikes and your up to 150lb total. Handles this very easily.

I bought six of these chains & used them to hang some pretty, big heavy hanging plants & I had no problem. If I were to guess, I'd say anywhere from 1 to 5 or six pounds should be safe.

It is fairly strong, I had loaded closed to 200 lbs on the cart and no problem, but it felt heavy when I push the cart.

I own this handy-dandy gadget. I thought, too, it would be heavy, but it really isn't. It weighs as much as two or three decks of Bicycle playing cards (for a crazy comparison!). Good luck!

It weighs 8 pounds. A little too heavy for backpaking. Should be ok on a bike.

100 lbs, but you can make it a bit heavier, not too much though the chain could break and the bag can stress or rip the chain hooks if you go too much over.

It has some weight to it, a significant some what heavy duty bracket is need. The one that accompanied the unit won't work.

So long as you used larger screws (like deck screws or the like) with wide fender-style washers to spread the load out on the mounting bracket, yes, I think that this can take that much weight.

The chain is heavier than a normal (cheap) swing...I don't know the rating, but I am near 300 lbs and it supports me! Should be no problem for kids or average size adults. Very good quality.

If you are staying on a hard surface, it should do fine. I've had loads close to 50 pounds with little trouble.

In my opinion, not very heavy at all. It's lightweight, hollow metal. You should not have any trouble.

It's about 6 lbs, so it will get heavy if you have to carry it a lot. It is a bit bulky.

It has some weight to it but not heavy per se. The handle is a nice size so gripping would not be an issue. Unless extremely frail I thi this is a fine product. Good luck.

A heavy chain works very nicely. I was on mine yesterday adjusting tension on both ends by just hooking into a closer link, evenly on both .dided
