We may need to use the Elite for a little more width for better weight balance

How much do each of you weigh?
They did some load testing and put 300 lbs of pellets on each shelf. The shelves deflected down while loaded but returned to normal after the load was removed.

Post by: Bentley on March 14, 2019, 02:35:20 PM: Are those 40lb bags? If so it 360lbs and just about right! If they are 20lb bags, their math is off!

Post by: Bar-B-Lew on March 14, 2019, 03:13:40 PM: 300# is accurate reflection for me

Post by: Canadian John on March 15, 2019, 06:59:07 AM: Either way, that's a tremendous amount of weight... It's not just the shelves, the cabinet body and casters play a part too.

Lets see - 15 x 40 LBS = 600 LBS/shelf x2 shelves =1,000 LBS or 1/2 Ton. That' some weight!

Post by: Bentley on April 02, 2019, 11:22:51 PM: 20lb. bags, but still a lot of weigh on each side!

Good point! The old adage applies: "Don't try this at home."
