Is it strong enough to hold cast iron pots and pans?

It is very well built, the limitation will be your hanging fasteners at the ceiling. If you can attach to ceiling joists, it will hold up a car :)The corners are solid aluminum, drilled for the hook eye and the chains are very strong welded chain. The best value I found for a kitchen hanger.

Yes up to 35 lbs, provided you anchor the eye bolts in ceiling joists, not the drywall.

not really I have 2 on the top rack but I would not put any more says not to put any wish I could post a picture to show every one what this can do I love mine

I have three cast iron skillets, including a twelve-inch one, hanging from mine along with other pots and pans.

I think it just depends on how you reinforce it in your ceiling. I reinforced mine with crossing 2x4s in the rafters. I would be confident with the extra care it would hold at least some cast iron.

The pot rack can hold them but a lot of it's strength depends on how securely it is anchored into the ceiling and what it is anchored to. We have it anchored into the ceiling joists with very heavy duty bolts ( not provided).

I would say about 60+lbs mine is full of pots and pans I even have a few cast iron pans and its still hanging in there. I'm very happy with it and love it.

Unless that cleaver is made of metals less attractive to magnets (some stainless steels are like that, for instance) these magnets will have absolutely no problem holding it up. I tested mine with a 14" Henckels fry pan (inductive rated) and a 12" heavy cast iron skillet, and a single magnet was enough to hold either one VERY securely! That cast iron skillet is far heavier than any normal kitchen utensil I'd think to hang on one of these, so I'm sure it will hold any "normal" item with no worries.

I believe it is strong enough to support a standard-sized cast-iron pot, if that is what you are referring to. If you are referring to a footed camp-style Dutch oven, probably not.

If the bolts are mounted into a rigid backing (e.g. wall studs) it should hold. I happened to have plywood sheathing under the wall covering. I ordered an extra set of hooks and had enough room for 3 large pots(6-8 qt. each), 4 larger fry pans, 2 hooks for spoins, 2 smaller fry pans and a colander. It looked crowded but it was functional. Twelve would depend on each pot's depth.

Our rack is holding a 14" cast iron skillet, plus assorted scanpans, fry pans and the occasional magnilite sauce pan. Doesn't seem to be stressed at all!

Probably not. I have a large cast iron skillet and I wouldn't try hanging it on the pot rack. Anything aluminum is ok.

I have cast iron cookware as well. I mounted my rack to wall studs, and it securely holds 3 large cast iron skillets and a full set of pots and pans. This is a thin rack, so the shelf storage is minimal. Cook books and larger pots don't sit flush on the shelf, but I let them stick out a bit. The thinner size works for my kitchen space.

I haven't weighed the pots & pans I have hanging on this, but for about 6 months now it has successfully supported 2 cast iron skillets, 3 stainless steel skillets, 4 handled pots of varying sizes and 4 glass lids. I would just recommend making sure it's well anchored in the wall.

Yes it is. Although I lay my rack on its side because it is too tall for my shelf. It will hold my cast iron on its side and also when I put the shelf upright too.

Well, I hang my All Clad pans from them with no problem. I don't think you would have trouble using them for anything like that, but I don't know about things that weigh much more than that. They are very sturdy, although I can't say exactly what their weight limit is. Absolutely fine for my pots and pans.

As long as the board is anchored to wall studs, you will be fine. We have 5 cast iron pans on ours and it has held perfectly.

Very well. Handles our Wagner large fry pans with no problem at all. It's very well built and very sturdy. Oh, it also holds our large cast iron pot for a long day of slow cooking with no worries what so ever.

Don't remember there being a weight limit. it is very sturdy and I think would have no problem holding cast iron cookware. oh yes the top shelf can be used for storage I have pots and lids and a plant on mine. I LOVE my rack. I kid you not everytime someone comes into my kitchen the comment on it and how nice it is and ask where to get one.

Yes, I have used a large pot to make stew on this along with a 6" skillet and a 12" skillet. I had no problems with it holding my pots and pans.

I'm not sure exactly how much, but I have stored several fairly heavy cast iron pots/pans, glassware, etc. It feels very, very sturdy. If we're talking like 100+ lbs, I have no idea. For everyday storage, it should hold up very well!

my rack is definitely sturdy enough. Mine holds my 6 stainless pots & pans, 2 big glass mixing bowls, a tea kettle and a Pyrex measuring bowl. There is space to hold more but I ran out of hooks.
