How much weight will this rack support? Will a rooftop tent + 2 people be okay?

The spec says 300lbs. The 2" tubes are very strong. If just static weight for what you are going to do is OK. But it will be moving, acceleration and brake and turns, You better have rubber bumper to stop the rack from moving left and right, front and back. It comes with a bumper for the rear end at bottom. But I would put more on the upper, also for the front cross bar too.

This rack is not worth the money. It is cheaply made. My husband and I could never even get it squared on the vehicle and the welding was also poorly done. We sent it back and I would definitely not put a tent on it to sleep in.

Probably pushing the limit. This is the most sturdy rack I've seen for the 4 dr. jeeps but I'd contact the company just to make sure. Maybe 300 lb. limit Charlie W.

I don't know about your lights. This tent supports my lights and air scrubber. About 60 pounds or more.

These racks aren't made for commercial applications and are only rated for 250 lbs. The Transit racks are almost 48" apart and would, theoretically, support a 3/4' sheet of plywood + a 200lb. man, but I wouldn't make a habit of it, nor a seating arrangement.

Both straps together support 400lbs. I have had 3 people in my hammock with the straps and no problems.

yes, it will not be a problem. A good idea would be to distribute the weight among multiple support bars, not just one.

Yes, if you are loading yourself, then you will need to lift it up onto the racks. It is recommended that 2 people load.

This is a very nice large hammock . I love mine. You could definitely fit two people. We were 135 and 180. It's your support structure you should be concerned about vs the hammock. Good luck!

This roof rack has a weight limit of 75 lbs. Let me know if you have any other questions.

There is a bottom weight restriction of 3500 pounds. I tow a tent trailer and use top for my bike rack.

Plenty, don't worry about it unless you want to place a 10 ton truck on it. It will support as many people as can fit.

I'd guess it might hold the weight, but it would be borderline, and the space is small enough it might be problematic. However, it's a nice rack, and I'd think that worst case scenario you might want to use part of the bag first and just stack the rest that would fit in it.

If this rack truly has a "250 lb. load capacity," then they should show us a picture of it supporting five 45-lb. barbell plates. This is only 225 lbs. and should pose no problem for a "commercial grade" clothing rack with a "250 lb. load capacity." I seriously doubt that a rack whose top and lower bars come in two pieces can support a fraction of that rate without bending, bowing or collapsing.

I would not pack it if I were solo. Would be pretty easy for a few people. It would probably pack down enough into a smaller tent bag if you made a separate bag for the poles. That would also be a good way to split the load. It would sleep 4 people nicely and 5 snugly.

Hi Rebecca, The rack itself can hold 165lbs. However, your vehicle may have a lower or higher weight limit for putting things on the roof, so you will need to check your owners manual for that info. Whichever is less, is your particular roof weight limit.

I can not give you the exact weight, but these are very lightweight foam blocks, Amazon has the weight listed at 2.8 pounds. So if you are concerned about your roof racks weight tolerance, I would not consider the weight of this rack a deal breaker, I would be more concerned about what you desire to mount on the rack.
