what is the weight limit for putting stuff on your roof?

I don't actually know what the weight limit is to my roof but I usually only put lighter things up there. I would say our load is usually only max 100 pounds. We camp with it and put sleeping bags, sleep pads, and clothing bags. It had dented the roof of the car when we tighten it down but it pops back out in a day.

I'm pretty sure it says about 35 lbs but I think you'll know what your car can handle as well as what you are storing in the bag. Towels, sheets and stuff like that you can probably go over the weight. We drove across country with about 50 lbs in there and it was completely fine

I don't know the answer to that. We used it and was glad to have it. I would assume it depends on the make of your vehicle. We have a Jeep.

I believe the limit is listed as 400 lbs. However, my rack is fully loaded w suits, coats, jackets and should be at if not over that weight!

Although I do not know the weight limit that the manufacturer specified, I personally would not put something that heavy on it. I suggest you contact the manufacturer as they would know.

The SuperPole has the option to be tension mounted or permanently mounted. The weight limit is 300 lbs.

We have a flat roof and we were able to hang it . It's not too heavy either . My husband says he doesn't see why you wouldn't be able too. It's a beautiful chandelier!

I had to get on the roof a few times to make some adjustments and some fine tuning to the roof. I placed a 2' X 8' piece of particle board on the roof, making sure the ends were not placed in between the spines or the roof and it held my weight of 215 lbs easily, never buckled. I'm sure it will support snow as long as it doesn't melt on you and accumulate more snow on top of the melted snow.

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.

Not much, Maybe 5 lbs. I have only put clothes on the top shelf. You probably want to reinforce the connections with zip ties like other reviewers have mentioned.

The weight limit is 250 pounds. Most items with a limit are engineered to be stronger than the recommended load, but I wouldn't use it if you were more than 10% over the suggested limit. They have other models, though, and one or more of them may be rated for a higher weight.

I have used two of these on a metal "A" frame roof with no problem. As I was 30 feet in the air, I did tie a rope (600#) capacity to the end of the ladder and secured it to a heavy object on the other side of the "A" Frame. Also used a safety Belt.

There is a bottom weight restriction of 3500 pounds. I tow a tent trailer and use top for my bike rack.

We had a pot or pan on every one of the 16 hangars. I would guess at least 50 lbs of pots and pans and there wasn't any issue at all. It really does depend on how well you have it attached. In my case we have the hooks screwed directly into the beams overhead. If you were trying to hang this merely from sheet rock, I would be very cautious. Good luck we have loved ours.

150lbs is the recommended weight limit for the roof. You could get away with 200 if its evenly distributed and you drive very nicely. But aside from the roof vertical capacity you have to consider stopping and accelerating. The threaded hardware and actual rack itself can only withstand so much.

We hang a fairly large wreath on it....5-10 pounds. The weight limit probably relates more to how much abuse your siding can tolerate rather than the mechanical strength of the hooks.

I don't think there is a weight limit. This is a rugged hanger especially when anchored the correct way. The shelf can be used for storage.....I use it for my lids.

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.
