What is the weight capacity per shelf and per rack?

Terri, these shelves easily hold over 200 lbs dispersed across them - the limiting factor for weight is wheels breaking up due to total unit loading.

I have shoes on these shelves. I guess it would depend on how you have the unit attached, to walls or free standing units . Im sure they could hold more than 50 lbs easily.

If you use the 4 pole/corner setup you should not have a problem as long as the heaviest items are on the lowest racks. Each shelf should hold over 5 pounds. I have put close to that amount before. However, most of the items that I bake are lite and airy.

800 lbs per shelf is the spec, although I definitely have more than that on a few shelves, and it's not been a problem. Some of the other products from Alera are spec'ed to 1000+ lbs.

I think they are really good shelfs but, I wouldn't load them that heavy for several reasons. I would never load anything at the maximum load. It is just asking for trouble. I always like to give myself a little safety factor in case somethind strange occurs. It very well may hold 350 lbs per shelf but why press your luck. If you want a shelf to hold that much you should buy a commercial shelving unit.

I think a weight of 30/40 lbs. per shelf would be OK, providing it was not in the center of a shelf on a small area.

Hi Zach,The single shelf has a 17lbs max, double has like 25lbs, and triple has like 40lbs.I have a few singles and 1 triple. I personally would only put about 15-20lbs on the single (if you screw into a wall stud).

This is a very sturdy well built table, I think it will hold just about anything that would fit on the shelf. I have my cast iron cookware on it. Not sure there is any way to determine the exact weight capacity tho.

You will need to go somewhat light with this because it is plastic. That being said, it's very strong. I'd say you could probably put up to 30 pounds per shelf, if evenly distributed. Maybe more. --DT

I would say the weight capacity of each shelf is the same as any bookshelf with movable (i.e., not fixed) shelves. The shelves are an inch thick, so they aren't likely to bend easily.

I have yet to use it, and have no idea how much weight it will hold. I can say, however, that it's a well-made, sturdy shelf. I'm guessing that it would be able to hold a substantial amount weight.

The weight limit for each shelf is about 2lbs. I use this shelf vinyl sweater organizer not only for sweaters but alsofor my art/craft supplies. If you go over the 2lbs placing heavy items then more than 2 1/2 lbs. will buckle.

I don't know the exact weight capacity, but can tell you I have two very full rows of sweatshirts on this rack plus blankets on the top and have not had any problem. Hope this helps.

The specs list the max weight per shelf as 90lbs. It's a very sturdy shelving unit, so pots and pans (cast iron or not) will not prove to be an issue.

Hmmm... 50lbs of weight on one shelf... that may be pushing it? I'd say about 25-30lbs max on each shelf.... Sorry!

I used 2 as library book shelves. Specifically in weight terms I couldn't say. But all of these books were cookbooks. Thick large format.
