What is the max weight that you recommend for the top? Im looking at a top that weights around 80 pounds.

The crank handle is mostly plastic. As long as you won't be changing the height every day it should be fine.

Jim is correct, it is rated for 350 static and 150 adjustable. I have a 40 lb top and at least 20 lbs of junk on mine and it goes up and down just fine. I weigh 220 lbs and lean on it, too. I adjust mine multiple times a day, usually at least every hour and it has been holding up for over a year now just fine and dandy.

Try to find the manual online or call the company - I know it mentioned recommended top weights in the manual (but mine is filed at my office and I don't have it with me where I am). Keep in mine the weight of any computer, etc, equipment that will also be on top, and how much effort you want to put forth each time you crank it up and down. My top only weighed about 20 pounds, and I wouldn't want it any more difficult to crank (but then again I am a 30 old woman, without arms of steel, so all of that is to be considered!). I want to say the recommended total weight was still in the "hundreds" range.

I think I remember the literature saying the tablewill support 350 pounds and can be operated with 150 pounds on it.

This meant as a general Comment for all the Answers: Thank you everyone for all your answers. At topping 300lbs, I suspect I wouldn't be able to even sit on this without being worried about crushing it, heh. I usually don't pay a lot of attention to weight limits on things that seem like they should be ultra sturdy (I have no problems climbing a ladder with a 200lb rating, for instance, I just don't jump up and down on it and I balance my weight). But it sounds like this would be an injury waiting to happen. Thank you all for taking your time to answer this!

It's not 80lbs heavy that's for sure! Mine is full...totally full bursting at the seams and I can still pick it up, awkwardly, and only briefly, but I can manage. Full I would think mine is 45 to 50? The construction is solid. I would recommend it, I love it!

top gives it stability. I recommend either stacking two kits or having a top.

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.

Good choice. It definitely can bear this weight. Just make sure you put enough counter weight at the bottom.

Hi! I personally don't remember what the exact weight limit was, you may want to review it. For some reason 100 lbs sticks out in my mind because my grandson is a big seven year old and I was concerned about his weight at 79 lbs might have been to heavry. But after reading the description, I want to say that 100 lbs was the limit. But checking for yourself would be best. Peace

The top is very sturdy. Just make sure you put it it together properly and securely. I love mine.

While I haven't actually weighed it, it can easily be filled to the top with clothes. Probably 20-40 lbs, according to the boyfriend. It's pretty sturdy and well fashioned and holds its shape when full, too. I wouldn't anticipate the fabric ripping or anything along those lines, especially if you're using it with laundry. The cotton canvas is pretty decently thick. Hope this helps!

I'm 125 lbs and its strong enough for me. My husband is 185 and worries he will break it. I would say you are safe up to around 150-160 lbs in my opinion.

Mine is pretty sturdy and I"m happy with it, although not sure I would want 100 pounds on top, as that would likely make it top heavy and much less stable, or more likely to tip over. Guess it would depend on the center of gravity of the object itself.

My husband, who was 280 lbs. when we bought the topper, felt it was too soft/not firm enough. After losing 70 pounds, he now feels it's just right. So I agree with the individual who suggested your son might prefer a more dense/thicker topper. If you can find a denser mattress by this manufacturer, it would be a good purchase. I love our topper, by the way.

I'll be honest with you - I do not think this is the rack for you if your up to 800 pounds. I was using 220 pounds on the front for squats and just the slightest tug would have caused the rack to tip forward. I have since purchased 2 50-pounds bags of sand and put them at the rear of the base for extra leverage. You may want to look into a higher strength rack like PowerTec. I hope that helps!

I don't know what the max weight would be, i sit on it with no problem weight 130. Personally I wouldn't want to pull more than that!

What you need to look at is how much you weigh and then choose the stilts that you fall under. So I weigh 160 lbs so I got the stilts rated to handle 158 lbs to 198 lbs. If you weigh close to what I do this is the best option. If you weigh less than that on average you are going to want to get one engineered to handle less weight to get full use from the stilts. I hope this helps you.

Try a utility cart instead. This is an end table, and the finish would be damaged, even though it would probably support 80 pounds.

Based on my experience, it should like quite nicely. With that said, I'd want to stay within the maximum weight recommendations.
