I notice this unit is only rated at 3200 lbs. does anyone know what gage steel this is. The 72" unit is rated at 4000 lbs. and it is 16 gage

It's a great unit for light use. I would not trust it for more than a couple of hundred pounds for each shelve.

You are right, the shipping weight must be wrong....I would say the unit weighs about 35lbs....good catch. Great machine, luv it !

Hi Mike! We have this written in the product description, which you might have missed: "500 lb actual rated load verified by SGS testing at maximum force of 531 lb" Hope that helps! If there's anything else, just let me know. I can be contacted directly via this link:

I do not know the gage, but it is substantial. It may be somewhat light for real heavy commercial use, but is more than adequate for home. You can see similar items in Home Depot, Lowes and Sears: Craftsman, Husky, etc that look like this are all the same. I thought this was a great bargain at $1000 plus free shipping.

I don't know, but when I first started using mine, I was a pretty hefty 288 lbs, and I'm pretty sure it could have taken more. It's REALLY sturdy! (I'm not going to load any of mine to the breaking point to test it... Need them too much)

The max weight for this unit was at least 250, and it might have been more. I went to the companies web site to do most of my research. Proform. I'm sure there is a warranty also, I just can't find my papers.

It is 240 pounds when it arrives to you. I would suggest if you take it to your deck to leave it crated for protection of the grill. Carrying it by hand sounds like a large physical challenge. You might think of some method of rope and pulleys, winch system attached to the top of your garage or a professional with the proper equipment. If you are successful in placing it where you want it, I think you will love it. It's a fantastic grill! Good Luck.

Good to hear from someone who owns one. Our current one weighs 7 lbs and is getting too heavy for us to handle. Thanks

I do not know what the load rating is--however a 225 pound person uses it. This step stool arrived at our home in bad condition. My husband re glued and nailed the step stool. It appeared to us that during manufacturing the automatic electric nailing equipment must have been miss aligned. Might I suggest you carefully check all the joints before using just to make sure the stool is safe and sound.

The description is wrong. I just received this unit today and the box was almost 80lbs. The unit itself is listed as 72lbs on the manufacturer's website.

It works for me, and I weigh 285lbs. I believe it is rated for 300-350 lbs. It is a VERY sturdy steel construction.

I don't know exactly what gauge, but it's not that paper-thin stuff you sometimes see with these steel sheds. It's pretty tough stuff overall. It's not going to keep a determined thief out, but after nearly a year being up in harsh conditions it's holding up quite well.

The weight limit is not listed on the units. I did place them under 2 of my 4 tires and it works. Basically, my trailer fully loaded would be 12,000 lbs divided by 4 is 3,000 lbs.

The stability is fine, but the pull-up bar is something to be desired. I've had to replace it once due to the weld breaking on both sides. I had a friend make me a new one out of a higher gauge steel to stabilize it. I only weigh 185.

We use a 6 qt. steel pot, nearly full, with no problem. Also a large cast iron skillet. I can't imagine that a heavy weight would damage it, unless dropped on it. About the heat settings: it is geared for fast heating of lots of water. For anything else, including frying, anything above 3 is too hot. Simmer is "1". The larger the pan the higher the setting can be as the energy is spread over a larger area.

Am not sure of the gauge of the steel, but I can tell you that this is strong. Mine was recently knocked off of its mounting, which was 4 screws into a 2x8 piece of lumber. The 2x8 was broken but the box showed absolutely no indication that it was hit except for some paint left on one corner. Picked up the box and remounted now the only thing left to straighten is the post that was bent. This is a great box...

I don't know what gauge steel it is but it is a nice heavy, sturdy masher that we are very satisfied with.
