Ladder Weight Capacity?

Thinking of hanging a couple of folding recliner chairs on a rack attached to the ladder on the back of our Redhawk. I know that ladder will support my body weight of 200 pounds, but bouncing around going down the road seems like it would place a lot more stress on the ladder and attachment points. So, the question is, what is the max safe load for that ladder?

It should be good if you bungee the chairs against it. People even carry step ladders on those chair racks.

Thanks for the responses. Got them up there and tied down. We'll see what happens.

Mine has a weight stamp on one of the side steps. 300 I think. That's when parked. Any weight on there while traveling will tend to loosen the mounting screws so inspect them often.

Mine would loosen up until I stopped hanging chairs on it.
