What is the approximate or maximum weight this opener will lift?

We use it for our double metal garage door with the 4 slot type windows at top. We have the old original heavy metal double door from 1980; not sure how much it weighs.

10 pounds or there abouts. I can lift it with one finger but I would not want to carry it far that way. :-)

I'd say medium weight. Easy to use as it has a long handle on one side and smaller handle on the other side making it easy to lift..

I have 16x9 insulated 3" thick garage doors a real heavy duty commercial type door. I worried too if it would lift it but have had no probelms at all with opener.

I do not know the answer. I bought two handles and use them to lift a hatch that weighs about 100 pounds from a porch deck and to pull the hatch away from the opening. The handles must be adequately secured to the weight. In my case the handles are secured by 2 inch No. 10 wood screws. I am satisfied that the handles will carry that load for my purposes. I would not recommend using these handles to lift and carry any load over any distance, and I would bot allow anyone under the load where they could get hurt if the handles failed or if they pulled away from the load. The manufacturer might know the true load limit of these handles.

hey tom. installed four of these in an overhead cabinet where the stained glass door weighed close to 15lbs and the size was appx 18"x32". don't get me wrong they work GREAT! but, if I understand correctly I'd say these particular openers are WAY TOO MUCH SIZE AND STRENGTH for your circumstance. there ARE smaller...keep shopping

You would also need to add chain and adjust travel accordingly, but the opener is powerful enough.

it is rated for 1000#. I would assume that is the max weight at the highest point. I have this jack and it is well made and operates very easily. I have others for my other toys, but this is the best by far. I use it on a double personal watercraft trailer. Each machine is about 500 #. I assume you are looking for the lifting capacity.

I believe it's aluminum. Steel would be too heavy to lift as easily as this does.

We used the opener on a metal garage door that was only 36". It is a solid core door and closes fine. I hope that helps.

Sorry to take so long the weight of the door is not the question it is how well are your springs adjusted the garage door opener can handle the door the springs take the weight.

With the right amount of force and tools, I'm sure someone could "pull/pry" open any gate. From what I can tell from my install, I'd damage my gate before the opener gives. FYI, the opener contains a feature that lets you disengage/reengage the gear with a key, so the gate can be manually pushed open/close if necessary.

That depends on the weight amount you want to lift. I think the max weight for the pulley is 225 lbs but I'm not sure about the leg lift.

The opener has no trouble opening my 10 ft metal tube gate. I have 2 and they have been faultless for the year + I have used them.

I would recommend calling the company to ask. I only have one opener in use.

I haven't measured the force, but it's considerable. I've got the 1-HP model on a poorly balanced, heavy, double-wide, swing door and the SOMMER grinds it open without issue. The specs call for a maximum of 100-pounds, and lists 33-pounds as "rated force", whatever that means. I recommend the opener.
