How many lbs of lift are these rated for? Are they strong enough if you have an outside ladder attached?

Don't recall the specs. But the lifts are stronger than originals on vehicle. Should support ladder that came with vehicle.

It might depend on how heavy the ladder is, and I can't really picture how the ladder is attached, but the struts do have a fairly powerful lift. It takes a good tug to pull the door down against the lifting power. I'd say they're stronger than the originals, but it's tough to remember seven years ago.

I can't answer for specific specs, but I can say that they have provided more than enough lift during freezing temperatures (when they typically struggle) to open the hatch without difficulty. I can't imagine a ladder or any other attachment affecting performance.

I think this ladder is only rated at 200 lbs. However, as long as you use it for vertical purposes I wouldn't think it would be a problem. You can get a heavier rated ladder, but the weight factor goes up to about 30 lbs., as I recall. Good Luck.

I would not use these for anything that is suspended, like a heavy car. These are a lighter jack and work great for additional support to balance or keep a trailer from rocking. I used them on a trailer with single axle to keep the trailer from tipping back with too much weight in the wrong places since I was working on the surface of the trailer and walking around. They would work also on RV trailers to stabilize the movement of the trailer when parked.....

I don't know for sure but a person over 200lb has used them repeatedly at my house, with no issue.

Too weak. I originally bought it for a lighter load and then gave them to my son, who tried to use them to haul his one-person kayak, and they were marginal at best. He ended up buying a Thule rack (which can also be locked). Hope this helps.

I'm not sure on the rating, however I have put on 250lbs with no problem. I use them to do bench from a low platform. My issue with them is they only extend to about 3 ft.

I would be hesitant to put a ladder on them. It may not even fit. While they are fairly strong they are geared towards poles, towels etc.

Heavy enough. They are heavy gauge steel,and very sturdy. We are extremely satisfied with our Miranda ladder ball game!

They are advertised as 1500 lb., so if your stuff is less - you are okay. These are good ramps, and I highly recommend this set over the other ramps like these out there.

Just under 4 ft maximum. Theoretically you could angle the vertical legs and make that lower, but I would guess the safe max weight on the ladder will be lower.

If its really "we", you shouldn't need these. If it is one of you at a time, a 70 pounder is a bit much for many people so an aid is useful. On that point, these things are very good. They won't reach to the ground bit they will reduce the lift to maybe knee level, and after that they are idiot proof. Even for someone who seems to think an 80 inch vehicle is a good idea.

No not at all. these are quite strong and solid. Weight should not be a concern.

I doubt it. These things are designed to lift themselves only, weight is most important. Also they are finely balanced and any additional weight somewhere would mess up the balance.

The ladder is not intended for outdoor use. Your entire body weight plus the weight of the ladder and any tools you use will be focused on four small ladder feet. If one of the feet sinks into the ground more than the others, the ladder will become unstable. That is the risk that you should assess before using the ladder outdoors. Personally, I would stand on the ground and use trimming tools with long handles.

Aluminium is much lighter. I have never seen a wooden attic ladder rated for 350lbs so presumably aluminium is also much stronger in this application at least.

I'm not sure as far as a weight test. My buddy goes about 275lbs and had no problems when we've used it either when attached to my dock or boat. I bought extra mounting kit for each application and it's not gotten loose in either application, though I always check after the season. This is the 2nd ladder I've bought from them because I was impressed with the thickness of the material and the welding, hope this helps.D

I'm not sure the weight rating on the ladder. It seems sturdy enough to handle 300lbs. I'm 200 and did not stress the ladder in the least.
