Expert Reply:
I reached out to Polar who makes the Continuous Hinge - 8' Long x 5" Wide - Steel # PLR844 you were looking at does not have a weight capacity, but my contact there did mention if you are concerned that you can weld the knuckle on both ends which will keep the pin from being able to move which is the main failure point of a continuous hinge.
The only way to know for sure if the # PLR844 will be strong enough is to install it, as hinges are not tested for specific loads due to quite a few other factors such as the size of the door which could cause wind to affect it differently.
