My old one says, 1.25 bu. But I just bought the same exact one again just last week from true Value and it says 1.6bu. Out of all the laundry baskets out there, I LOVE this one cause it's flexible, like they are suppose to be.

I would guess it would be limited by how much you're willing to pedal around and how much you can fit in the basket. If the basket is installed correctly it is EXTREMELY sturdy and I would trust it with as much weight as I myself can handle. If you're thinking groceries or books I would think the basket would do fine, just balance the weight or you might find yourself overcompensating during a turn.

The shelves may be too narrow (less than a foot) - also, as in item description, max weight capacity is 24 lbs per shelf level. Bottom level has rails for the baskets so it is not flat when baskets are removed.

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

The basket hangs in front and is removable. The larger wheels help on uneven ground.

I'm not certain, but a front basket for me has worked well, especially if something shifts in my basket, I can see it and readjust before becoming unstable.

Can't really say, since I haven't needed to take it off since I put in on. Nice basket, though, and I even had someone else tell me he liked it.

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 use the top two baskets for incoming mail and papers to be filed. The larger botttom basket holds magazines. I have a plant and wireless speaker on top. The unit is at the end of the island in my kitchen. It looks great, is sturdy and is holding up well. Can't really say how much weight it can hold. Have received many compliments on it.

I'm sorry I can't answer your question. I used the basket for a different purpose.

Specifications say 150 lbs. I believe it. We have put a loaded ice chest, 2 cases of water, 2 laptop cases, and assorted other things in ours and have had no problems. The basket is a sturdy canvas, it is waterproof, heavily stitched. Wheels are strong and double wheels all around. Love it!

My husband installed the basket on my recumbent trike. Although it lists shipping as 9 lbs. the basket does not weigh that of course. I asked him if it was heavy before he put it on and he said no. I can't give you exact weight but it isn't much. I can tell you it is a very nice, sturdy basket. I have an 11 lb. Yorkie that sits in it when we go for a ride! LOL

This is great for light baskets, but I have large baskets and they did not hold. Use the manufacturers guidelines for determining the system's weight limit.

I did not weigh the baskets. However, it would be my guess that two baskets together will weigh about two to three pounds.

Absolutely zero problems hauling upward of twenty-five pounds per basket - but get the strangest rack you can find - my first rack (a cheapie with only one stay per side) was utterly inadequate. Check the weight ratings on your rack - I routinely exceed fifty pounds of groceries with these baskets, so your rack needs to be rated at least that high if you plan on really loading them. The baskets, as far as I can tell will handle anything you can stuff into them, unless you're into recycling lead ingots.
