Anybody have an idea how much it can carry when fully extended (from the ground to the roof)? Would 10lbs. too much?

The pole will hold the weight without too much bowing, but can you? Fully extended the pole exerts a great amount of leverage on the holder! I really wouldn't think that the average person could use a ten pound attachment to do any precise work for very long.

What do you mean? This pole isn't going to carry anything without the attachment that you screw on to the threaded end.

I am a senior user of the fruit picker, my experience is I lost some leverage if I hyperextend the pole. May be a different results for a young and strong user and the biggest fruit I harvested using it was 2.5 pounds.

10lbs is a lot of wait to keep under control. Consider length extended x Weight at end = weight force at handle.

are you asking if this back pack alone ways 10 lbs....no definitly not. The description states 4 lbs and I don't think its that much. If your asking if it can hold 10 lbs worth of weight I can attest that it can carry that and more. I use my pack to go to work on my motorcycle so it carries everything; A laptop, files, lunch, couple bottles of water, shoes, warmer clothing, purse and other necessities. And I have had it for over 2 years with no signs of wear yet.

Ray , I have used this rack twice since I bought it . First , I used to carry a mid sized generator on the back of our trailer (100 to 110 lbs ) and it worked fine. Second , I used it to carry deer from the field to the locker ( 150 - 160 lbs ) and it worked ok on my jeep . I like the height of it , it's easy to load and unload . But about the 500 lb limit or on the back of a sedan ?

Too heavy to carry on a backpacking trip. Approximately 10-12 pounds....my best guess.

You will need an extension cord that is rated for outdoor use. This weight is approximately 10 pounds...I use rocks for weight but fastening it to something may be a better alternative since strong winds can lift just about anything that is not fastened securely.

It adds 16 lbs., which is definitely noticeable. But, in my opinion, the added stability and convenience of the device more than make up for the additional weight. I attached it to a 24 ft. aluminum extension ladder and leave it on all the time, whether in use, in transit, or in storage.

There is a stated capacity in the owners manual. It is lower than I would have expected which is probably because there are no roof reinforcing strips. I have loaded a large bag type carrier with 70 to 100 pounds (estimated).

It's Rated For Up To Two Pounds Fully Extended ! If You Only Extended It By Half It Is Much More Stable & Would Handle slightly Heavier Weight..

The manufacturer says it will hold 3300 pounds. Hauling rocks you could exceed that easily. I wouldn't do it.DB

I added 10 pounds. The bag is not completely full, but it seems to be enough. The whole system is working great for me after a month.

It's possible, but you won't be doing that too many times. You will need at least two people to load it on a roof rack. I have a small trailer that works just fine....and no heavy lifting.

We've easily had 250 to 300 pounds on this. It's more a question of what it's hanging from. Ours is hanging from a tree. It's awesome.

No it won't be able to bear the weight, the plastic on the leg extension locks will break under the weight. Already tried that and that is what happened to me.

Maybe 8-12lbs, 15lbs...MAYBE. It's not heavy at all, however, constructed quite solidly. I am impressed at how well built it is. I lifted it up ladder onto roof (1 story Ranch, for larger more angled roof, a rope fastened to it & lifted, would be easy, maneuvered it, slid it around, by myself. A carpenter/roofer friend (read 'experienced') did help install, but if I had more roof cutting confidence I would've done the job myself. I bought the therimistat for it, and check it every summer, it runs Quietly and SOLIDLY - No issues & No more hot attic! Circulation is awesome (although I wish I had some post sunset circulation = no sun, no solar fan). Not a big deal tho. An awesome product! Maybe 8-12lbs, 15lbs...MAYBE.

Not much at all, maybe 10 lbs. tops? It is quite easy to carry, especially with the carry bag that it comes with. It also holds a body weighing over 200 lbs. just fine.

It depends on the individual car roof. We put loads into it for our vacation (around 200 pounds) and had no problems. We have a Volvo-XC90 and it worked great.
