So if said object I was trying to lift was 100lbs, I would really only be pulling 25lbs?

I've only used mine to lift Axis deer weighing 90-125 lbs and my 12 year old daughter puts it up easily.

I can't help here....just use it to tow the arena grooming gear and it probably only weighs 100lbs.

Suppose to handle about 250 lbs can't tell not that heavy I'm at about 170 and no problem

No idea. I weigh about 200lbs and I use 50-75lb dumbells and have no issues.

I put all the heavy stuff on bottom shelf. I would not put anything heavier than 25lbs. on the other shelves.

Not sure, I'm not lifting anywhere near that. I'd be curious how anyone can hold on to a small rope and pull with 666 lbs (6:1 mechanical advantage - and there is no brake or lock on this). If you need lifting of more than about 200 lbs, you'll probably want a winch for the rope.

These machines are not built for hvy use. 250 # is probable the very max. I loaned mine to a friend who weighs over 200# and the trans axle broke. I suggest buying a sturdier machine.

No I have not, but you are only picking up a little more than half the weight!!!! I believe I would buy the bigger lift to be safe!!!!

It seems that if pull faster the resistance picks up. Resistance hasn't been an issue

I fluctuate between 250 and 275. I've done dips weighted with 75 lbs. and I've done pull ups weighted with 50 lbs. and I've had no problems with it.

You can push or pull but either depends on the size and weight of what is in it.

I put 200 20lb sheets in it, and it wouldn't even come close to cutting that. I'm a 250lb man and nearly broke the lever pulling on it.

That is the pounds of pull. For example if you get the 30# when you pull the bow string back it going to be a consistent 30 pound pull

I don't know the heaviest weight I have picked up five pounds. It would depend on how much grip you have in your hand.

Good question John, after trying out the weights, you can put up to 100 lbs with small 10 lb plates but you can fit the 25 lb plates on each side. I have tried it and even three 25 lb plates on each side for bit remember its not a long straight bar so just be careful, but test it out

Thanks all, I'm sure 250lbs would be fine, but figured a higher weight capacity would be stronger & last longer. BTW contacted the manufacturer who advised Amazon was right it's 300lbs.
