Thank you for your excellent question about the weight capacity of our standard urban benches! It's a crucial detail for planning public spaces, and we're glad you asked.
Our standard urban benches are engineered for durability and public safety in bustling city environments. A single one of our standard models has a robust weight capacity of approximately 400 kilograms (or about 880 pounds). This rating is carefully calculated to accommodate multiple adults comfortably and safely, ensuring the bench can handle typical public use throughout its long service life.
This capacity is achieved through a combination of high-quality materials and intelligent design. We typically use reinforced steel or aluminum for the structural frame, paired with durable slats made from hardwoods like oak or eco-composite materials. All connection points are fortified, and the bench is designed to distribute weight evenly. It's important to note that this is a *static* load rating for seated weight. For the longevity of the product, we always recommend adhering to this limit and using the bench as intended—for seating.
We subject our benches to rigorous testing that far exceeds standard requirements to ensure they remain stable and secure for years to come. When selecting a bench, considering this weight capacity helps guarantee safety, comfort, and value for any urban setting, from parks and bus stops to promenades.
