what is the current carrying capacity of this unit?

Not sure about amperage. I installed it on a garden tractor with a 20 hp engine and a 420 CA / 340 CCA battery where it works without any problem.

The person asking the question didn't indicate what purpose he had for the solenoid. A starter solenoid is designed to handle a large current for a short time. The battery probably says 300 CCA (cold cranking amps) on the side but most of the time the current will be far lower, like 50-100. It won't be satisfactory for a continuous-use application like off-road running lights on a pickup, as the coil was intended to be energized for the short time on and quite a bit of time off for cooling down.

I received your question but it was a battery solenoid that I purchased and not a starter solenoid. sorry I can't help.

This is a lawn mower soloenoid it handles approximately 300 amps from a lawn and garden battery, the one that i bought works flawlessly. If you are thinking about using it on a car i dont think it heavy duty enough.

I have no idea of the technical specifications of the unit. I bought it for my riding lawnmower and it has worked exceptionally well.

Pretty sure it's 300 lbs. But this came up before and it seems to me the capacity is listed on the specs. God bless!

Not sure if it has a stated capacity. It holds me at 240 lbs. I'd say it would be okay up to maybe 300 lbs.

I am not sure as I sent it back because it could not handle the load it claimed.

I typically have 2 medium size loads with room to spare. I'd say it carries 3 medium loads or 2 large loads without over stuffing.

I believe it's 300 lbs. weight capacity. I haven't tested its limits myself. I'm 180 lb. male and it shows no signs of stress under my weight. The unit is very strong.

It is heavy and I have not used it yet. I planned on using it on the go, however it's not practical to load and unload.I will have to set it up in a permanently location.

Sorry David, I don't the exact weight capacity. How ever, with have had no problem with it so far. All I can say is that it can hold at least 200 pounds with out a problem. Hope this helps, best of luck, Cameron.

I seem to remember that the capacity is 300#. My wife is 115#, so that is not a problem with us.

I don't recall that there was any indication of weight capacity. It is very sturdily built. I have 3 queen size blankets/quilts on it with no problem whatsoever.

The product description for the $88.00 unit says the weight rating is 300 lbs. maximum capacity.

Not sure but the unit is fairly large and heavy so I would say at least 40lbs.

Capacity Is 1.5 gal eachBut I wouldn't put that much in eachNot sure if base will support so much weight

Have had individuals over 200 lbs sitting on this item for hours at a time and there hasn't been a problem with it. I am unsure on the maximum capacity.

I don't know exactly, but it is very heavy duty. I really loaded it up without problems.
