Patricia, the stats say it is 30 lbs, which is about right. It is large and awkwardly shaped is likely why some are claiming it to be so heavy. Fitting it into a hitch can be a challenge, simply because it has to be inserted straight in. I ususally line it up and give it a bump with my foot to get it started. From there I can let go of it and I step under the cradle arm and take the weight off with my shoulder as I guide it the rest of the way into the hitch. It's not the difficult and the rack is very strong and as such, I would expect it to be heavy.

Sorry don't know weight but a tad heavy. I can pick it up and move from back of car to hitch but easier with help. Would not want to walk any distance with it! Very sturdy easy to adjust do can access back of SUV.

I would say the rack is approximately 40 pounds. The reason the rack weighs so much is because it is extremely heavy duty. I have had 6 bikes on this rack and the rack could easily support more. This is the best rack I have ever seen or heard of. If you have the money this is the rack to buy.

I don't know the exact weight but it is not a heavy cabinet. Still, it is very strongand well made. I probably have over onehundred pounds in it and it could hold more.I could not be happier with it and wishI had need for another. It is unique and nice to look at.. Buy it.

I don't know the exact weight but I would guess to say 8-10 pounds. It is very well made and works wonderful! I have two!

Have never weighed it, but would guess from lifting it, about 15 pounds. I suggest, however, that you buy almost anything else. The plastic hinges are poorly & inadequately designed. They stress crack easily and replacements are not to be had.

Not sure of weight on terms of pounds. What I do know is that mine are anchored into the beams and supports a shelf which supports buffet meals, computer equipment, leaning elbows, and lots of other things. Still going strong almost 2 years later.

I guess 20 pounds. The bolts rust after a couple of years but you can just paint over them. The price for this rack is reasonable and I use it often.

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.

I don't know the weight of the rack but it holds up my broom and my mop and bucket and it haven't feel yet with this you have to screw it in to the wall or drill it.

I don't know the weight, but the one I got a couple years ago is not light; it is a very substantial piece.

Hello Karen, This is about 4 lbs. It is very practical, small, not heavy and does the job. It occupies very little space in my closet on my closet shelf! I hope this helps, -Martha

140 lbs according to the manual. Most rack I had researched is around 140 lbs, one or two may exceed 140 but expensive. You can remove one or two front wheels or seat post (steel type) to reduce the total weight. Also, you might need to consider the vehicle that it can tow. The rack is weight ~27 lbs + 140 lbs (4 bikes) = 167 lbs.

Weight is no problem. I don't recomend them for Yackima racks. They need a square bar to work well. Like Tulie

not sure about actual weight but we put two Trek bikes on it. They are full size adult bikes with standard frames. The rack has held up fine and works great on the back of our camper
