i cant find a ladder thats rated for more than 250 pounds... would this hold someone weighing 300 pounds

I think the problem would be that the ladder is not really secured only the hooks are holding over the gunwale. I think the ladder can support the weight, it's a question of it being stable at the weight. Hope that helps a little

This ladder is well built, but difficult to get up and down unless it fits perfect to the angle of the side of the boat. The best fit would be a boat with stright down sides. It would be OK for emergency use.

The machine I purchased said it could hold 350 pounds. I would not rec anything over 300.

I am 180lb and its holding ok.. I doubt if its good for 250, legs looks not that much solid..

I believe they set a 300lbs limit but as we never used it I can tel you that from the look of it and it's weight it seems too flimsy for holding that weight

For this version (EP-550) the manufacturer says 300 lbs is the limit. As others have said, this is a very solid piece of equipment - in fact, it is UL certified which, as I understand it, meets a very stringent standard for construction. If you are 300 lbs or less, you should be fine.

I can't speak for what someone (the manufacturer? or seller?) else wrote, but, when I bought this, I bought it based on a 300# capacity, however, the person who uses it weighs about 325#. I will warn you, though, that it is very steep and if the person who's going to use it has a larger stomach or chest, it will be difficult for them to climb because they're going to bump up against the top of the ladder.

The ladder is pretty sturdy. I don't see a problem with going over the IA rating by a bit on this one. Discern how seriously you want to take the manufacturer's rating, I'm sure they lean on the safe side on these things. This comment it not a recommendation, merely an observation.

The ladder is well made, but of fairly light material. I'm a good sized guy at 250 and it holds up well but I'm not sure you would want to put a lot of traffic on it. Good luck.

I bought this and I jump up and down on it.. I weigh 165lbs and it seems solid as a rock... I would think if you are under 300 lbs (and not jumping on it) it should be fine.

It is a sturdy unit but I definitely wouldn't go over 30 lbs. probably 20 to 25 lbs. would be a safe max. limit.

Most ladders are rated to 125kg. So anything under that should be no problem.

At my heaviest I'm 240lbs and it supports me great. I believe that they state the weight limit is 300lbs, I would feel confident that it would support 300lbs.

I have those and they look ok strong. But I did not put close to 300 lbs on it... maybe 100-150 max so far, and it handled ok. So, good luck.

I am 238lb and it works well for me. I don't see any reason why it would not work for 250lb. Good luck!

I sincerely doubt it; I am 6 feet tall, 210 pounds, and it barely fits for me. Much smaller than I had thought it would be. It's solid, but I just don't think 300 pounds would fit comfortably (unless it's all in your shoulders, in which case you don't need tom lift any more weights, right?).

Hi Not really sure- but, if you are over 300 lbs I would suggest not going up any ladder just to be on the safe side

You will be fine on hight as I have had a friend that hight use it. It seems very sturdy and I would guess weight is fine, but I have not had anyone use it over about 325.
