Anyone know the load capacity? I have an old Thule that would probably hold at least 100 pounds, maybe 250. Don't want it knocking the roof.

if the "old Thule" is a storage box that should be good for about 100 or so pounds as the load is spread out a bit across the bars. The bars are not as robust as Yakima or Thule cross bars but will easily carry a few bikes or a storage box, but I wouldn't expect to load the box too heavily. They look a lot better than Yakima or Thule cross bars, by the way.

I've hauled my Old Town 17' canoe strapped to this rack without an issue, thing weighs at least 120 pounds.

150lbs is the recommended weight limit for the roof. You could get away with 200 if its evenly distributed and you drive very nicely. But aside from the roof vertical capacity you have to consider stopping and accelerating. The threaded hardware and actual rack itself can only withstand so much.

I'm not sure what the official load capacity is, but I carried a 60lb cargo box filled with at least 100lb of gear across the country with no problems.

I think most Thule products are specific to the Thule load bars unless otherwise noted. This rack certainly seems to be, although there may be adapters available. For your application, you might consider a hitch rack if the vehicles you'll have will have hitches. Otherwise, you may need to look to vehicles that you can put your bike IN rather than ON. Good luck!

the Dimensions are posted in the description or at least on Thule's website. Weight don't know exact but I can handle it myself no problem. It;s best to have two people to mount it on a vehicle.

It depends on the individual car roof. We put loads into it for our vacation (around 200 pounds) and had no problems. We have a Volvo-XC90 and it worked great.

Thank you to our shop again.

There is a stated capacity in the owners manual. It is lower than I would have expected which is probably because there are no roof reinforcing strips. I have loaded a large bag type carrier with 70 to 100 pounds (estimated).

Best to go to the Thule website and use their tool to configure what you need. It will list out parts for you, then come back to Amazon for better pricing....that is what I did.

Mine was loaded. I padded the top and then added the carrier. We filled it. About 14 cubic feet and over 140 pounds. It held without so much as a wimperm. And no noise with the wind.

Haven't try that kind of load yet. It seems well built and probably would hold 150 for sure.

I'm 64" tall and can carry this (folded up) with one hand to my car. This first install with instructions in hand took 20 min. After that, less than 5. I love Thule products. This is my third due to my third car. Love the simplicity. But, I am a mechanical engineer too. Don't get discouraged, the instructions are easy. And they have 1-800 line to call. Go for it. :)

I tried and failed, a bmx with 20" tires goes on ok but my son had a 16" Specialized hotrock that was a no go, it will go on the Thule though,

From manufacturer the snow load is 10lbs./ sq. ft. They also make a roof strengthening kit which makes it stronger but to me the shed feels solid. If you get it be ready for a lot of little screws and nuts and bolts.

Hi there! You know, I honestly think they do. You're referring to Thule Cargo Carriers, right? If so, then yeah - the carriers have open loops on the bottom that should slide onto any roof racks. So these should indeed work out for you :)But just to be on the safe side, you'd probably wanna check out the Thule website and see if there's more info about it.

Your Thule will need some u- bolts. Really the Thule should come with necessary parts to mount withthese bars!

It won't sustain a light snow load. We had 2" of snow and the supports between the side walls and the ridge pole all bent. Also the welds that hold the feet onto the uprights broke loose. I had a similar canopy for 20 years that never had an issue even in heavier snows. The metal part is not as heavy as even the parts of a chain link fence.

According to Thule, It will not work. Here's the link to their guide:https://www.thule.com/en-us/us/buyers-guide

Gonna be tricky. I bought Thule bars six years ago. Best move I've ever made. They should fit. Just hold your mouth right. Lol
