The manufacture will be very conservative on the bumper weight rating. Mostly likely (generally speaking) around 150 pounds. If you have a particular make and model in mind, I'd call the manufacturer.

It's pretty thin stuff. I store my black tank hose inside. I wouldn't want to add much weight to it.

It's thin metal, and therefore prone to metal fatigue near the welds due to vibration.

Example from a web search:
