Hey Bo! Weld-on stake pockets like the Curt Stake Pocket for Flatbed Trucks or Trailers # C83072 don't have any kind of listed capacity. Companies typically don't test for this since it really depends on the weld. I would say it can handle whatever you need it to as long as it is properly installed by a certified welder.
What are you wanting to use these for? If you're trying to hold some kind of extreme amount of weight I would make sure it is distributed between several stake pockets or have a fabricator make custom heavy-duty stake pockets for your application.
