I've got boxes that total 60 pounds and it seems to be okay. I probably shouldn't push it with that much weight but it depends on how often you need to roll whatever you have on top of the caddy. I have the boxes on the caddy which pretty much stays put. For my purposes it keeps the boxes from being directly on the garage floor and at the same time if I need to get in the cabinets behind the boxes, I can roll the caddy out and get in the cabinets which is not often. Hope this helps.

I have a Japanese Maple tree in a very large ceramic pot on one of mine - I estimate it's around 50-60 lbs (takes two people to lift). No bowing or trouble rolling in around so it could probably take more weight. These little guys are the best I've found and have held up extremely well.

not sure the max. but I have a concrete urn with plant. Must weigh at least 50 pounds.

I'm not sure but they are pretty sturdy. I thought maybe in the "detail" of the description it might tell you. I have a plant in a planter that is about 14" tall and it seems fine. Another plant is in a clay planter that is about 12" tall and no problem. I really like the product.

I haven't tried one that size yet, the largest plant I tried is 14". However, the plant caddy handled it easily, if you want to try your 18" pot or basket you might want to use some other type of strap or chain with it just in case it isn't strong enough to support the weight when you water your plant. Remember, an 18" potted plant is pretty heavy when it is wet. All in all, the Plant Caddy is much stronger than it looks, and the ones I bought are still working great for me.

Not sure of the limit, but it easily holds my large bird cage...maybe 10 lbs? Certainly a large hanging plant, even when watered.

easily supports 300 pounds, rated for 500-not sure about that. Have large planter with citrus tree on patio weighing 300 pounds. works great.

I'm using it for honeysuckle , so would probably be sturdy enough for a ' medium ' load . Make sure to anchor it securely .

Not sure have just placed light weight plants on it but seems fairly sturdy.

I don't think any of my potted plants weigh 10lbs. They probably are 5 - 8 lbs. However, I think it would be ok to try out a 10lb. pot because I have other decorative items on each shelf, including different rocks. Won't know til you try it! The rack is very sturdy and stable and also an attractive addition to our patio.

My 16" Caddys are rated @ 125 lb. I'd guess the 12" Caddy to be rated similarly.

Not sure what the manufacturers specified weight limit it, but I have a Hibiscus planted tree on it, about 25 pounds.

Sherry Miner's response is correct. The rack is excellent and works perfectly for plants. I now have two of them.

I use mine indoors to hang our birdcage... about 20-22 lbs. I think it would do okay to support a heavier weight like a heavy plant, as long as it is anchored well into good solid wood.

Hi Melanie,I am not sure, but I have a very heavy planter on it. The diameter of the top of the planter would be about 20 inches, and the pot is about 20 inches high. It is filled with dirt and in addition regularly takes water. And then there is the plant itself, which is known as a snake plant, with thick pulpy shoots. I have no idea how heavy this planter is but let's just say I used my son's skateboard to move it across the house. I'm guessing about 50 lbs. So far, the pedestal has not complained.

I supported it with rebar (outer) and 8ft bamboo stakes (inner). I used it to support my climbing cucumbers, bush beans, and tomato plants.

I believe so. I placed it under very heavy plants, and it is holding the planter very well.

Depends on the size of the plant, of course, but yes! These are much sturdier than other poles I have tried. 10 lbs would be ok, I think.

I can't answer in terms of weight, but I have a fairly large pot and plant in mine and I never worry that it might collapse.

We used a 14" open ring type support, very similar to what a florist uses but much more sturdy. They are available at lawn and garden centers.The majority of our tomatoes were of the cherry or pear varities.
