what is the weight limit for the grab bar?

That's going to depend on the type of anchors you use to attach it to the wall. If it's a hollow wall, buy anchors that have a high weight rating. (it will be on the package) If you are screwing straight into a stable stud, use long screws. My bet is that you would need a truck to break the bar itself.

The grab bars are approximately 28 to 29 inches from the floor. I purchased one for my 94-year old aunt who finds them very handy.

I use a 5' bar, and it works just fine. Gets kinda wobbly with too much weight.

Todd, I was able to contact the Total Gym Store yesterday. They advised that the bar should not exceed 300 pounds.

Unfortunately, I don't know the weight limit. I am 180 pounds and these bars feel very sturdy. No wobble or anything. I've seen other dip handles that were not as thick with 400 lbs limits, so I would think the Valor dip handles would support at least that much. I hope this helps.

I don't think I would use it as such on a regular basis. It is firmly installed and sturdy but not really made to be a grab bar.

The trim on my door is maybe 1/2 inch and works fine. I think it more about the rotational force than the hanging force that keeps it in place anyways. W enable guys up to 250lbs hanging on it so it seems to work good for me. I love this pull-up bar. It is by far the most durable and biggest I've seen.

don't know about weight limit but you could not even pull tight without breaking

250 lbs. 125 lbs. per side. the bar itself is about 16 lbs. so that's a total of 266 lbs. to lift.

Not sure about precise weight limit. The bar itself is probably 25" long. Limited more by how much you can fit rather than weight. Little more than a weeks worth of clothes and a coat. The only problem I had with the bar is it doesn't fasten to the bars it sits on. The right side moves around more than I would like. I would give a little more detail about actual weight but I don't own it anymore. I opted to install a wood shelf and a hanging bar to the studs.

I've put 150lbs. It seem to be fine to me. If you plan to put more then that I would get an Olympic bar. The diameter of the bar is bigger for a better grip.

Sorry, I don't really know and I can't find the paperwork. My son uses the bar, with the full 300 lb weight set that he has, with no problem.

Nope. 300 lb of weight on the catches max and up to 300 lb user weight for the pullup bar. Not to be combined.

The equipment weight is ~80 lb. The force that is exerted, puling on the bar with your hands is variable, but would be in the 25 lb. range give or take.

I do not know what the recommended weight limit is for the bar. My husband is around 170 pounds and tested it before we let our daughter on it. We braced ours by putting a heavy gymnastics mat underneath. Something will need to be used to weight the bar down to prevent tipping over. It is a great product and would recommend for up and coming gymnasts.

The length of the bar goes to 6'0". According to the instructions, you would have 1 - 2" more than that for suspension. The weight limit is 300 lbs.
