What kind of weight can this slide support?

My best guess is 15 lbs max. Used these slides as exact replacements for kitchen drawers. If you need something heavy duty, you should use another alternative. However, these tracks are known to last many, many years under normal weight conditions. Hope this helps.

Exceptionally stable. You will need to fasten down as that's just physics. I am 200 pounds as is my father. We swank on it to test it and I went down the slide. Very solid

I use a ravelli video tripod which is heavier then a standard light weight unit. A better alternative is to use 2 light weight tripod stand that have a thread on the head. If you look on the under carraige of the slide you will see multiple holes. You can attach 2 stands, one on the left and the other on the right. This will give you a stable and easily adjustable stance.

I do not believe they would support the claimed weight that way. There is only a rolled metal lip holding the bearings in. Like one of the other reviewers said, they are cheap and might hold light work. I would not want to stand underneath to test it though.

I sent an email to XMark and they responded today by saying that the maximum weight it can support is 275 pounds. Hope this helps everyone! Have a great day!

I bought this slide over a year ago for my kids and it seems to be plenty strong for my 150lb body to come down. It is not commercial strength but more then enough to withstand any abuse that kids will inflict upon it in your backyard.

Max Support Weight: 22 lbs Sure can but it is not like the one I also bought (and post a review on) to support a much heavier DISH Hopper DVR.

I would not put that much weight on this slide. It is of light weight construction so I would geuss10-20 pounds. I see Paul said 30 - 40 pounds, works for him that's good.I would say more than that the rollers would ware out very fast.I used it under the desk pens and small tools. For 75-100 pounds look for a heavy duty slide.

The item doesn't directly support the weight. The adjustable friction allows it to adjust very high to stop sway. Could be used for very lage trailers. Mine is 8000 lbs and it works good.

This was almost impossible to find, but I did find that a SIMILAR bed's reviewer said this: "The manufacture does not have weight restriction written on the product, but when I called they confirmed the weight limit was 180 pounds." I will tell you that I have had kids with a combined weight of 330 pounds on the bunk, and it was fine. (I did not know until later that they were all up there!) The slide has had an individual of 280 pounds scoot down it, if that helps. The regular user is a very slight, under 60 pound child. She LOVES it, and we could not get her to sleep in her own room until this purchase. Worth every penny!

I weigh in at 300 (+/-), my wife at 160 and it supports us . . . according to the Amazon posting it will do 550. In my mind the controlling figure is the supporting element not the swing chair itself - as long as you don't and you don't allow weight gain, and the support is solid, you should be fine.

I don't recall the weight. If your moving few inches at a time, yes you can slid one end at a time.

Probably fine. It didn't specify a weight limit, but it is sturdy and solid. Most equipment of this type is meant to support up to around 250.

Probably around 40 pounds. It's fairly sturdy, but once the child grows & his/her legs get longer, the slide isn't much fun. Until then, our grandson loved it.

I have no problem going down this slide that I put up for my grandson. 150 lbs. Perhaps some of the answer lies in how well you stabilize each end. Also, I go fast.

Exact weight I dont know, but I can tell you that it does slide pretty smoothly. You are going to need a good ball head and two tripods as well. It is too heavy for a smooth straight operation on one tripod.

I don't see why not as long as you're willing to get a little creative when building the support for the slide. You will need something stable at the midpoint of the slide -- it's not strong enough to just be anchored at the top and base. The instructions call for building a support out of 2x4s and sinking it in the ground, so you'll need to come up with an alternate design.
