Has anyone ever put over 100lbs in this trailer? Its rated 180lbs but can it hold up with tha weight?

This cart is built fairly well, for being China made. I primarily use it for transporting some fishing gear to a walk in only area with my mountain bike. The most weight I have had is maybe 70 lbs of gear. The usuable area is limited and actually smaller than I hoped. I use a bungie cord netting to keep my stuff contained. The frame is built fairly well, only thing that I don't favor is plastic nuts on the hubs. I would upgrade them to stainless from a hardware store. The cart works well on pavement and gravel roads. I travel about 3 miles to remote fishing ponds here in MD. So far it has done well on offroad trails. However, the tire are narrow like a road bike, so sand and mud can possibly cause issues. Overall for the cost it fits my needs. The frame can definately hold some weight. The hubs and tires would be the weak links. Regardless of the weight capacity, towing 70lbs off road can be a beast!

I rode my Teenage Daughter around the neighborhood, consisting iof some little hills on tar and chip road surface. I had her weigh when we got back, 113 lbs. It pulled well with my Rockhopper Mtn Bike. Smooth and not as much drag as i expected. I love it.

Yes! This is a very well built dog trailer. This is the best trailer out there for the money. My little one is about 15lbs and I could put another dog in there with her with no problems. I design and build bicycles and I only sell this trailer, there is a larger one, but that is for the big dogs 50lbs and more.

I use it on a 18 foot flat trailer and have loads of 8000 lbs on it . Is the trailer weigh under the hitch capacity ? If it is it should work ok .

My son is 80lbs and that board feels like it can take really up to a 100lb max. It is narrow and would not be stable under a heavier load.

This trailer is very light as is and is easily moved by itself. As for hauling large uncut logs I don't think it would hold up. It just bolts together and the steel is not that heavy nor hardened. I've bent it with ratcheting tie downs. Mine won't even square. The shape of the "bar" pieces is: __| |__

Depending on how long of a tour you're thinking, I wouldn't recommend it. If you're planning on riding over 15 miles with it, it just won't hold up and every time you want to take a turn, you'll risk flipping the trailer over. Unless you have a very straight course planned for your ride, I would go with a higher quality trailer that's both lighter and more stable.

I believe it is "rated" at 150lbs. It's pretty big! So it should take 90lbs no problem.

It will handle 180 lbs no problem. The board is slightly convex (curved the whole length of the board) which gives it plenty of strength.

Yes it can but need to take into consideration if it's wood stud or concrete your mounting it to...it can hold up to a 100 lbs...so make sure it's mount securely

I'm right at 200 pounds and have not had a problem, installed mine 5 years ago. I have yet to bend mine so far.

I have read on another website that it holds up to 300 lbs. I can verify that it will hold at least 225.

This bed is extremely solid and well built. I've put two people on it that together weigh above 280 and it's been fine. That being said, it's not officially rated for above 150 lbs, so if you do so, it's kind of at your own risk.

According to the specs...it's rated up to 2000 lbs. I personally, load a 1300lbs UTV with them and they don't bend or flex at all.

I couldn't say for certain, as I am not the seller. But it is built sturdy. My wife has loaded it up with clothing week after week. There is no damage whatsoever. I believe that based on the sturdiness of the wheels and the structure, I would say it should handle up to 100 lbs. But I am only guessing.

We had about 50 lbs in ours and it worked very well. I can't say if it would hold 100 lbs. test it out or maybe get two?

Equally distributed 180 pounds is not a problem. There are no specs about the max weight that the bed can take. And yeah ...

Barry, as stated by a couple of other responders... about 250lbs. If you install decking, and you probably will, the decking and hardware addapprox. 50 lbs. Now, you might want side rails too. Maybe another 40, or more lbs. It's all up to you, and your preferences.I think it's a cleverly designed trailer for light duty work. The folding feature is a fair amount of work to use after you get it set up for road travel!Good luck!
