    Hello everyone,

    I good bit of weight but i wouldn't go setting a fully built engine and transmission on it and expecting it to be okay. I've had several hundred pounds if sacked corn and a couple people on it but i wouldn't do that all the time...

    Yeah, I was just wondering if it's ok to stand on once in awhile when putting stuff in or taking stuff out of the bed. I assumed it could at least hold a couple hundred pounds or avg. weight of a person, how else would you get in and out of the bed, right?
