I believe the rail is strong enough to hold the weight, but if that kind of weight is used to perform flips...the stability might be in question...not the strength of the rail. The rail is solid, in my opinion. I use this unit to teach 2 year old children through 10 year old children and many times I personally perform a move on it to show how it's done. I'm around 140 lbs and have no problem with doing the action.

It's fine for a scooter, dirt bike, etc.. The 1000 lbs capacity is a stretch and I wouldn't recommend it for anything near that heavy.

This is a great product for squared off rails, I have to agree with the other answers that it would be unstable on a round rail without modification. Too bad.

Hi Allan,Sorry for the delayed response. Talked to Body Solid and they don't have anything in writing but they rate the Pro Power Rack - GPR378 at 800lbs for all components including spotter bars. If you are looking for something with 1000lb rating, Body Solid has the SMR1000, which is part of their Pro Club Line of equipment. Thanks,HFEfitness

The rails are sturdy but they may not support a large person pulling herself up on them. They are not secured the bed frame.

I have mine rail mounted on my 20 gauge pump. It holds up fine. It should work fine for you.

You'll want to double check this in their literature, but I recall reading 500 lbs. as the limit, which is double what most "car" racks will do.

I don't own this product yet, but in researching it, I found that there are two versions--one with aluminum legs that is good up to 300 pounds and one a little higher priced with steel legs that is good up to 400 pounds. So check carefully if you need the one good for up to 400 pounds.

I weigh 300lbs and it has no problem holding me .However there needs to be a hand rail to pull yourself up . Also I don't have mine on the truck anymore as it is always in the way . Mine is for sale .

Weight capacity and the number of rails are different. This one has 5 rails, as I personally purchased and installed the 83201 - 28" version. the other version i think shows 8 rails.

The instructions that came with the rails- recommended weight not over 165 lbs.

I know it will hold 250+ pounds without a problem. I don't believe it had a weight limit or not.

I hung from the cross bars and they held me at 175lbs there was no actual weight limit posted anywhere, I have at least 200lbs all to together being supported and it's been up for 8 months not a single problem..... It's only big enough to use three 1000 watts

I exchanged emails with them a few years ago about its weight capacity. They said they had dropped 1200 lbs on the spotters and hooks and it didn't budge (I still have the old email). I don't know if it would endure that beat for long or anything would for that matter. I certainly wouldn't drop that kind of load on the front hooks outside the rack without having it bolted on the floor! You could tip the rack. Also the dip bars are rated at 250 lbs a piece.

Farthest I've gone was 95. The hooks handled the weight fine. It's very awkward using them. If you're maxing at 125, I'd strap in some 80s to get used to the feel of them. The size of a 125 would offer very little room for error when you rack them. Haven't used them lately due to injury, they weren't the cause though. They have some negatives to them, but I still think they are useful. Also, the added grip thickness is something to think about as well. I do think they will handle the weight.
