what's the load limit on this hoist

I believe the manufacturer says 100#. My kayaks are only half that though...

125# but the quick snap buckles break before that. Use chain rated at 150 or greater

I don't think there's a weight limit listed. I'm over 300 pounds and have been using one of these for over two years almost everyday and when I'm not on it, someone else in the shop is, it seems. I don't play nice with it either. My problems were I had to keep tightening the caster mount bolts, the board came loose from the frame and needed more substantial fasteners, the cheesey and unnecessary adjustable headrest is a joke, but I can't find a creeper without this "feature" anymore, and after two years I finally bent one of the casters by sitting my big self on one axle and trying to move around. It's still usable though. I'm going to weld on six industrial casters and put a new plywood top on it. At this price, I probably couldn't even buy the metal to make a new frame.

I don't know the limit but I have hung a feeder full of seed that weighed at least 10 pounds with no problem. My guess is that it will handle 20 pounds as long as the item you clamp it to will not give way.

It depends on the length of the rope. With the 65' rope included it will stretch about (or lift) about 12 feet. I used a 200 foot rope that I already had in order to pull my boat into the garage. I anchored the hoist to a back wall stud and pull the boat in by hand so I can place it in the garage all the way back to the wall. I could not see around the boat to back it in with the truck. It works really good, pulls the boat in with ease and I can feel when it just touches the back wall. Could not do it with the truck, I would end up damaging the boat or the garage. If you need a longer reach than the 10 or so feet get a longer rope. Hope this helps.

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

I don't know the limit - I seem to remember it was about 400 pounds? My husband and I have used it. Our combined weights are close to 400 pounds and it was not a problem.

The hoist should lift the 450-lbs and suspend the load. It is doubtful whether you would be able to swivel the load with that amount of weight cantilevered on the arm. The swivel is accomplished without any kind of bearing or bearing material. It is simply a slightly smaller pipe inserted into the ID of slightly larger pipe size and binds easily.

I don't know what the max weight would be, i sit on it with no problem weight 130. Personally I wouldn't want to pull more than that!

You use the back tether, just not the lower anchors. The weight limit refers to the lower anchors.

I don't know if weight limit is the same but it posted a "600 lb working weight".. I would think it also depends on the rig you have it tied to..

Working load limits - 40mm: 40 lbs/20 kg, 50mm: 80 lbs/36 kg, 60mm: 140 lbs/64 kg, 80mm: 280 lbs/128 kg, 100mm: 500 lbs/227 kg, 140mm 800 lbs/363 kg.

Can't help you with the official limit, but we have adult men use this all the time (~200 lbs) without issue. Note that we also spent considerable $$ on high end line and hardware. Everything is stainless and rated over 250 lbs limit. It doesn't help to have a pulley rated at 500 lbs only to buy a cheap cable clip that will rust and be rated far lower than the pulley. We have been very pleased with this product after 2yrs. The finger brake is great.

David - The 500lb limit is due to the cable "crimps" and bolts used to to "pin" the pulley wheels. The hydraulic jack is rated for 1000lbs. They are low grade strength, not grade 8. I have installed outrigger feet on each side using the original foot to prevent side to side movement once crane is under load (the trouble with one foot). I have raised loads approaching limit with no problems with crane arm in the 500lb position. Like anything though, your feet etc can't be replaced - I watch everything. Mac

wt limit supposedly 450 but it is capable of lifting more. Guess it depends on how heavy the front end of your mower is.

I don't recall seeing any listing of weight load limit. The rack appears to be well constructed with quality materials and design. I have only used it once to haul some lumber (Maybe 100 pounds) and saw no indication of deflection or strain. My best guess would be about 500 pounds tempered with common sense. I think common sense is the biggest factor.

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:

Unsure of upper limits, but it works fine with my 4500 lb boat. Remember that the weight on the front trailer wheel is very low compared to the overall weight of the trailer. This is a sturdy wheel.
