how heavy can i go?

Thu, 05/24/2007 - 14:34 — nick

with a 70 pound base, does that mean i can load it with 70 pounds of plates, or 70 pounds including the weight of the handle ( 67.5 pounds of plates plus the handle)?
thank you

Kettlestack Kettlebell weight capacity

The capacity issue is not so precise that you carry the decimal point.

The same handle and support straps are used on all the models; The
only differences are the bolts and the hexaxles, and the final
capacity is driven by the overlap of the bolts and the hexaxle.

The base model comes with

1. 4.25" hexaxle
2. 3" bolt
3. 4" bolt

With our recommended bolt/hexaxle overlap of 1" (13 turns), you get 9.25" of width - which is more than enough for any 70 lb configuration that uses 10lb plates- Just stack your candidate setup sideways on a desk or the floor and measure the stack width.

Thanks for asking!
