What is the load capacity of this unit?

It is great! In my shelf it holds probably more then 40 pounds, no bends or stops when pulling out.

Roughly 100 pounds, its rated for 95 lbs, but as sturdy as the unit is, I think is can handle 100 pounds no more.

Several other websites selling this item (based on item number listed by Amazon) are listing the capacity as 500 lbs. Here is a representative listing: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16848999505

When putting between 50 and 75 lbs of load on one prong, it will bend and not support anything. This is a LIGHT duty unit, not suitable for human life support.

You should consider this machine to be load limited (full-time and NOT counting higher starting loads!) to around 1600 watts (figure about 15 amps). Without knowing the running/starting loads of each appliance (should be listed in the specs), it's not possible to give you a better answer. Good unit though, starts easily and runs quietly.

The only rating specs I know are those in the product description. I've loaded the unit to probably 1000 lbs and the rope held. The biggest problem was how much the rope stretched - at least 50 percent.

I don't know, but I can tell you that I have loaded it to as much as it can possibly carry with no issues. I've put over a couple of hundred pounds on it, but I'd check manufacturers specs. I live in Manhattan. Can't live without the thing.

Pretty sure it's 300 lbs. But this came up before and it seems to me the capacity is listed on the specs. God bless!

9375 SURGE watts. Maximum running load is 7500 watts. This unit will handle it with ease. See my response to your other question.

I wouldn't trust it with that much weight. I don't remember the spec loads but they are less than you might think, especially on the side.

Never had that much load on it. but I think it can. I only use it to run my battery chargers for my power tools

It's been a few years since I purchased this item. It turned out to be unsuitable for my intended application, due to insufficient load capacity. But if I remember correctly, it is a 60 cycle device.

I believe it's 300 lbs. weight capacity. I haven't tested its limits myself. I'm 180 lb. male and it shows no signs of stress under my weight. The unit is very strong.

I've never tried that amount of load at any one time but I can't imagine it will tolerate it for much time. 180 secs maybe ok but if it was me I would buy a more powerful inverter. Always good to check with the manufacturer though just to get their input. Good luck

Hi Linda! Maureen here from The Friendly Swede:-) My apologies for missing your question, and not replying sooner! The answer is 500 lb actual rated load verified by SGS testing at maximum force of 531 lbs. Let me know if I can be of more help here at this link:

I'm sorry. Checked all paperwork and instructions and I cannot find anything on load limits.

I don't know the capacity but I have read to my son in bed and so has my husband, who is a big guy, and it's been fine. However, I would strongly advise against this purchase. It's cheaply made and doesn't fit a twin sized bed correctly without modification, which took considerable effort and looks terrible. The company has horrible customer service and they were completely unhelpful, unfriendly, and unwilling to accept that they had a faulty product.
