If this ladder is IA rated 300 lb, and my own weight is (for example) 310 lb, does it mean I cannot use this ladder? Thank you!

The ladder is pretty sturdy. I don't see a problem with going over the IA rating by a bit on this one. Discern how seriously you want to take the manufacturer's rating, I'm sure they lean on the safe side on these things. This comment it not a recommendation, merely an observation.

You probably could, I'm not an engineer, but I'd be careful, if you're like me, you probably need to lose the 10 lbs. and I'm not trying to be nasty, I'm overweight so I know how that feels. As I said, 10 lbs probably wouldn't cause it to buckle but I definitely would have someone spotting me if I climbed it.

I weight 325 and have no issue using this as a step ladder or a small extension ladder. Once you fully extend it as a extension ladder it gets a little iffy. But I still use it.

The ladder is quality, but not for anyone over 250 pounds. It is narrower than the standard wooden attic ladder, but it gets the job done. You need at least 29" of clearance in the attic to allow it to retract. Make sure there are no roof braces on the way.

Hi Not really sure- but, if you are over 300 lbs I would suggest not going up any ladder just to be on the safe side

I think they are playing it safe. It's a very sturdy ladder. I feel it's safe for 300 lbs.

I don't know. I bought this ladder for a friend in another state, whom I've lost contact with. So, I have never actually seen the ladder. Sorry

I can't speak to the weight limit. I can say that the straight rod that extends out of the bracket is 3/4" diameter mild steel bar. I would expect that the leveler is probably stronger than the ladder rung.As for the length of ladder, I put it on a ladder approximately the same length and have no problem. It bolts to the ladder using 4 1/4-20 hex head bolts. It comes with a set of bolts for fiberglass ladders and a set for wood ladders. Note that the levelers come in sets so you can put one on each leg of the ladder. I ended up taking off one of them so it fit the steps better, the spacing was off and I didn't need both levelers at the same time. I can't speak to the weight limit.

Not sure what the company lists as maximum weight, in this house all the adults have used this ladder. Our weights range from 120 to 210 with no problems.

If your deck railing is strong enough, the x-it ladder will have no issues. But give it a try from the ground to know for sure!

I'm not sure. This ladder was very week and will not last long. I sent it right back as soon as I opened it..

I think my ladder is 36 foot extention. This works well with this aluminum ladder. The only thing I would tell you is that it makes the ladder heavier because it is heavy metal compared to the ladder. It is best and safest solution for my property, better than using bricks or wood to prop up.

I believe the platform was rated at 300 pounds as well as the ladder, the platform can be placed on any rung that has a rung below it. The platform really saves your feet if you have to be up in one position for a long time but is a little tricky to get the hang of at first, pushing in to climb over the step and pulling it back out with your foot to stand on took some trial and error to get right. With some practice at it you learn to position it as you climb over it and then just bump it with your boot to pull it out and the process gets much faster and less frustrating.

At the time I purchased mine, I weighed 350 lbs. I now weigh 300. I have had no problems with it at all.

I don't know exactly as my ladder was never used. It is big enough to stand on and turn around. This ladder does NOT hold the weight it says it will, just so you know.

In case anyone else is wondering since this is an old question; the shipping weight on this is 22 pounds so I think it's safe to say it won't work for K. Hargett or anyone else who wants a 3 pound ladder.

It needs a slant in my application, which is latched at the top with the bottom resting on the floor. For a vertical mounting of this or any other ladder, you must find a very secure method to mount it at both top and bottom. This one is good for 300 lbs.

it says 300lbs but i was over 330 when i was using it and never had any issues.

It likely weighs what the spec indicates, that's pretty light. I do not think I would want to climb on anything that weighs any less as it would be structurally weak. I like it very much and it is light weight easy to move around and sturdy.
