What is the weight limit of this rack? I want to put a 25 lb ups and 8 lb rack shelf. Want to make sure it can support the weight

I do not think this will easily support 25 pounds, it would be marginal at best and I personally would recommend against it. It is designed more for holding patch panels. You would be much better off using some sort of strong L bracket that can support weight that you could attach to.

I agree with glen, there is no way. Even with a 24port patch panel and all the wiring it seems fairly flimsy. I did improve on its flimsiness a bit by not using the screw holes that are in the center of the rack.

The rack can hold 250 lbs on each shelf. With the wheels, it can 75 lbs on each shelf. Per the manufacturers website. http://www.origamirack.com/frontend/product_R5.asp

I haven't reached a limit yet and I've got some shelves with at least 500 lbs. on them. I believe the advertised limit is 400 lbs per shelf, or 2000 lbs for a 5 shelf unit. The load on any individual shelf needs to be distributed over the whole shelf.

Yes it can! In the setup manual it a diagram of the unit with different weight limits on the different shelves. The main "top" part of the unit can hold 25lbs, the two small outsides shelves hold 5lbs each and the 4 main shelves each hold 10lbs!

Don't know the exact weight but you should be alright in my opinion. They are very small shelfs so you biggest problem will be fitting them on there. Again I do NOT know the exact weight limit.

The weight capacity of the unit is 600 lbs, so depending on how many shelves you have installed you can estimate the capacity. I can tell you that I have two of these units in my garage and have never had a problem with sagging shelves or overweight issues. I use for automotive and household supplies, paint cans, etc. keeping heavier cans on lower shelves. I find them very useful storage units and like that I can lock up spray cans with harmful chemicals and keep away from children.

I have three of these units. While the rating is 150 lbs. for each shelf, I have one of the units with at least 150 lbs. on each shelf...accept the top. There is easily 500 -600 lbs. on the five shelf unit. It is that well engineered. However, I don't know what kind of a side load the unit would take if pushed on, and don't really care to find out. If you are in an earthquake area i would definitely anchor it to a wall if completely loaded.

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'll be honest with you - I do not think this is the rack for you if your up to 800 pounds. I was using 220 pounds on the front for squats and just the slightest tug would have caused the rack to tip forward. I have since purchased 2 50-pounds bags of sand and put them at the rear of the base for extra leverage. You may want to look into a higher strength rack like PowerTec. I hope that helps!

I just use it as a shelf in the laundry room so probably have never had more than 30 pounds on mine. I've got three brackets on a 48" shelf. Seems sturdy enough, but I doubt I'd put 150 pounds on it.

The unit is well built. The description would lead you to believe it can handle 200 lbs for 2 of the shelves and 65 lbs for the third. I don't think I would trust the wheels and structure to support 465 lbs total. I would be leery exceeding 250 lbs total. If nothing else, it may become top-heavy and be unstable.

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

I am not sure the exact weight it can support but if I have to guess it will be up a maximum of 250 lbs. It is on average very sturdy.

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 am unsure of the exact limit, but it's not the bracket that has a limit! It can likely hold about 70-80 pounds, the wall construction and the anchoring are more likely to limit your weight. The clamps will keep your shelf secure with a 10" deep unit, but I would likley use three brackets to avoid sagging a 36" shelf.

Rack is light but sturdy enough to hold my 225lb weights that I bench press. I have placed rack against wall so it does not tip over. Use common sense and don't throw weight onto rack like you can at a gym were rack is bolted down. I have rack in the house not bolted to ground. It will move and slide if not placed against wall. Hope this helps! :)

I use mine as a plant stand and I've got some pretty heavy plants on my rack, my biggest is probably about 5 lbs. I think the biggest thing to remember is to center things on the rack and make sure that the heavier items are toward the back. I love my rack and would send a picture is I could. Hope this helps.
