Hey Denny, Yakima cargo boxes like the part # Y63QD, # Y73QD, # Y93QD, and # Y43QD don't have stated weight capacities which means as long as you stay under the weight capacity of the vehicle's roof rack you'll be fine. Worth mentioning is that Yakima roof racks are rated for 165 lbs so if you wanted a hard number I would go with that.
