I'm looking for something to hold my cast iron frying pans which are pretty heavy. How much weight can this rack withstand?

I think it would be OK. I have a stack of large corelle dinner plates, small dessert plates, and two stacks of small dessert bowls and it has held up for years. I was nervous about this much weight as the legs didn't seem perfectly level but there has been no moving or shifting - I think the weight helps it not move much though. Hope that helps. Enjoy the holiday season!

It would probably be ok I'm using mine for for serving platters. When I organized my pan cabinet I got the one that stood the fry pan up on their sides which really worked out nice I can stand 4 pans and access them easily (if you have the height in your cabinet). And the pans are heavy but the organizer doesn't have to support all their weight.

I am using this to hold something light, but my impression is that they are sturdy enough for heavier items.

I think the seville classics line would be more sturdy. I use this to hold cans of food in my pantry, works well for that purpose. The one I bought can sit on your counter, and will expand to larger width. That's what I have my cast iron pans on, unexpanded.

I don't know the exact weight limits on the bar or per hook, but I can tell you that I used mine for a regular set of pots plus 2-3 cast iron skillets. Just make sure you screw into studs and put the heaviest pots closer to the screws rather than the middle of the bar. If studs are hard to find or not spaced properly, you can mount a 2x4 on the wall and get that screwed into studs and then mount the bar to that. Not the prettiest solution but you could paint the wood black to mask it.

I'm not sure what it's rated for but mine can hold three cast iron pans plus a cast iron wok as well as a few non stick pots

I believe it is strong enough to support a standard-sized cast-iron pot, if that is what you are referring to. If you are referring to a footed camp-style Dutch oven, probably not.

Not sure how much weight, but I have a crock pot and a frying pan sitting on it right now and it seems to be holding just fine. It could probably hold more, but I wouldn't use it as a book shelf.

Yes! It's remarkably sturdy! If you're stacking several cast iron skillets, I'd recommend screwing it down to ensure it doesn't slide or tip.

I suspect the actual rack frame may hold that amount of weight but the loop frames where the tires sit are not that sturdy so I would be reluctant to carry that much especially as the rack will bounce a bit while driving. I think there are other options. Good luck.

Not at all. This rack can handle almost anything you can hang up. Won't sway and won't bend

The amount of weight it will hold has more to do with how well you install it, but I can say that my rack currently holds a lot of pans. Two large skillets, 5 pots, and three smaller pans

This rack is very sturdy, but it would be a good idea to reinforce the bottom panel. I don't believe this rack was designed to hang heavy pots. I use it to store all my nail polishes, which is heavy. It's been a very good and sturdy shelf. You will like this!

It depends on how many iron skillets you want to hang from it, and how big they are. This is a very sturdy rack. I brought 2 racks to fit my entire set of pots and pans plus a few more. I would say that the deciding factor would be whether or not you can get each side into a stud when mounting. I have one side in a stud and the other on a butterfly anchor and they hold a lot of weight perfectly.

I would not exceed the recommended weight. But if you use this rack, be sure you anchor it to a stud

We built four of them into our island and use them to hold appliances that we only occasionally use, like the mixer, the crock pot, the juicer, etc. so it holds quite a bit of weight. It would definitely hold a set of pots and pans or ceramic mixing bowls or serve as a shelf in a pantry. It's pretty sturdy.

It's best for 'lighter' items like cups and plates. I wouldn't recommend it for heavier pots and pans. It's looks smaller in person than in the pictures. If you have a lighter set of pots/pans it may work...but nothing like stew pots or cast iron. Other than that it's a nice little rack. We use it mostly for cups and plastics/Rubbermaid.

This is a very sturdy rack. I would say that it could handle pots hanging from it.

I plan to hang many cast iron skillets and griddles from this. Am I crazy? Everyone thinks so, but the video showed it supporting a 200-lb man's weight and said it could sustain double that.

If properly mounted up to 200. I have mine loaded up with several heavy cast iron pans. Maybe the concept Housewares website can tell you specifics.
