Above Says: "With its 500-lb capacity, it's sturdy enough for humans". True? Can I use as a boarding ramp for an old houseboat??

We used this as a ramp to get from our pontoon to the dock...over 200 pound men walked across with no problem. And of course our 3 dogs used it too!

NO! I'm 150 lbs and that really stresses the hinge. For my 65 lb dog this is great. Easy to carry and unfold. I have pinched my fingers in it once. Ouch!

This is a very sturdy ramp. I think a boarding ramp for an old house boat would work provided it is set and leveled properly. I'm surprised this is sold as dog ramp it's heavy bulky too much to take in and out of car I used it only a few times. Good luck

I would not put people on it myself, but that may just be me. It is quite sturdy, but it is plastic. At 17 inches wide, and being used for something that is in water, you may want to look for something more suited for your needs.

It's plenty sturdy. I wouldn't run it over with a tank or use it as a hammer but it should hold up fine for you.

I use this ramp with a Lab that is around 85 lbs. and it is no problem. It's pretty sturdy.

I agree with skappy7, it is pretty sturdy, but i'd be more concerned with stability as this is only about a foot wide if that.

It will easily hold up to 300 lbs if properly inflated. Whether you will be able to comfortably stand up and paddle around is another story. I am over 280 and have trouble staying up and staying balanced, and my son is even taller and about as heavy, and has the same trouble. We have more fun using it as a kayak sitting on it and paddling around.

Sure, it would work great for that. Can hold a lot of weight. Very maneuverable.

Yes, it is substantial. I use it for both a bike carrier and a cargo shelf. It usually has a few coolers and a few beach chairs so it is not overly loaded done but will support it.

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.

It should work great for that use. This is a really great quality ramp, the best quality I have seen!

It is big enough. I think if you put a lot of weight in it, it might not hold up very long.

We have had btwn 900-1000 pounds on it with no problem. It is really quite sturdy. If I can find the weight capacity in any papers we have I will respond again.

It's probably sturdy enough, but it is kind of bulky. Check the dimensions before you make your decision.

I am close to 200lbs and road on it with my sons skateboard. it is pretty sturdy.

It's pretty sturdy. I think you will be okay especially for a spare room. I don't think it would be good for excessively large people continues use though.

I wouldn't think so. The handle is sturdy but I believe that the way it is attached would give you problems. 500 lbs would be a lot to tow from one focal point.

It is fairly sturdy so you could as long as the weight is not excessjve. That being said l am not sure I would do that to mine.

I found it very sturdy. I kno it will be good for at least 50 lbs. I haven't tried it for more then that.
