Has anyone tried this who weighs over 300 lbs? I'm having trouble finding a step rated to 350 lbs, which is what I need.

Try making one of your own. Home depot screw 2x4 together REALLY well by sandwiching a bunch together with the strong side up, you can add risers as you go. Primitive yes, a bit heavy, but if the need is there and you can handle it you can find someone to make if for you. Line the top with stick on abrasive stair tread tape. should cost all of $30. if a friend does it.

I don't know but I can say that it is very sturdy and I think it is quite possible that it could do it, but until your sure of it I would recommend not using the step extenders yet.

The ground to step would depend on how high you truck set, on mine the bottom of the door is 16" and the top of the step is 12" as for the weight limit I didn't see one but I'm 300lbs and I have jumped up and down on it.

I have a mini pin whom is 7 pounds and she does great with 3 steps ... I think it depends on how high the object is you want them to get to ... I use the steps for the couch ... Hope this helps

At the time I purchased mine, I weighed 350 lbs. I now weigh 300. I have had no problems with it at all.

I would not step on top step as it could be dangerous. It is very sturdy and well made not cheap.... not sure what the weight limit is buy my hubby is 170 range and he has used it. Hope this helps you.

I think this model will be fine for 300 lbs. Only weight put on this would be on the arms when standing up or sitting down.

This meant as a general Comment for all the Answers: Thank you everyone for all your answers. At topping 300lbs, I suspect I wouldn't be able to even sit on this without being worried about crushing it, heh. I usually don't pay a lot of attention to weight limits on things that seem like they should be ultra sturdy (I have no problems climbing a ladder with a 200lb rating, for instance, I just don't jump up and down on it and I balance my weight). But it sounds like this would be an injury waiting to happen. Thank you all for taking your time to answer this!

I have the same problem. I've adjust every way I can think of but the steps only go up and down a couple of inches. I hope someone comes up with a solution.

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.

I weight 325 and have no issue using this as a step ladder or a small extension ladder. Once you fully extend it as a extension ladder it gets a little iffy. But I still use it.

I'm 150 lbs. and I have stood on it without a problem. It seems to be pretty well built...just not sure if it could stand continuous 'stepage'. I think the side walls might have an issue...you could certainly do a little internal bracing and it would work fine, so long as it is not being pounced on. Good luck!

hello, i have a 3 stepper, and find it very strong the way it is made,, "but" i also have a 19 lb. pekinese who fly's up these steps. 120-150 lbs, i honestly can't say. it is rugged.

Yep easily! We have someone almost 400, no problems. Kinda thought the extra weight would make it sink a little more. Nope, very little change.

Sharon, I believe you would need 4 step or higher ladder. I'm 67 and enjoy the ladder. It is a well-built ladder and therefore weighs more than a less well-built ladder. I suggest contacting Little Giant Ladder company for more specific technical information and guidance. Little Giant Ladder also has excellent specifications on their website. Although not a specific answer, I hope my response is helpful. Stay warm and safe!

I am not sure what the weight limit is for these steps. They are a very strong corrugated cardboard, so might not last too long with 70 lbs. using it all the time. I am 120 lbs. and just stepped up on them to test them and they were fine, but constant use by 70 lbs. might wear on them. You should try them.

I'm 300lbs and it handles me fine. I however don't use it as a step for aerobics. I use it more as a step stool, stool, and scaffold. It's rugged though. I bought this one to replace one that we absolutely put through the ringer for 5 years. We used it to get kids and an old lady in and out of a Suburban, as a garden weeding bench, a kid's step for the bathroom, and a painting scaffold. It's well worth the $ in my opinion.

I think that 90 lbs is too much weight .It might work for awhile but you need to check with the manufacturer to be sure.
