As you can see on photo below, 20x8x2 1/2 inches (cm.51x20,3x6,4) shelf Ponoma® holds 50 lb (2 buckets of water) easily.
So, it holds 2.5 lb per inch without any problems, so there's normal load capacity = 50 lb (KG22,5) = 2 buckets of water. How to calculate maximum load capacity of shelf Ponoma®? It should be taken length of shelf in inches and multiply it to 5.
For example: shelf Ponoma® 20 inches (cm.51) holds up 20x5=100 lb (KG45) = 4 buckets of water maximally. Most walls will not withstand such a load.
Please note, maximum and normal load capacity are achieved only when used all mounting holes:
Youcan install shelf Ponoma® using 3 mounting holes only: left-center-right,if you will use it withminimal load.
