Thread: How much weight can...

While I doubt it will collapse under you, I would not put my full weight on mine. I have not got chequer plate on mine, but I doubt 3mm adds a lot of strength - the problem is the underpinnings, and the 90/110 design with the inner guard is not as strong as the Series design, although even there they are not designed to walk on.

On the other hand, some people have stood on theirs without problems. It depends not only on how heavy you are, but how careful you are and where you step - right at the back or front is safest, the middle, right next to the bonnet the weakest.

It gets worse on the Puma as the wheel arch is all plastic. The only reason I mention the checker plate is this should prevent collapse of the top panel. I was more worried about the rest of the guard coming off.

Perhaps I'll just stick to the rear ladder
