I would never expected a system like this to hold 1000 + lbs.  I am going to just use some good quality construction screws, as the head is not hard enough on the provided screws to use a driver to install.  They cam out instantly.  Save your money and don't buy hardware pack. Of course this will absolve them of any liability related to failure.  I think that would be tough to prove anyway. Ignore capacity ratings. This is available and it's fine for hanging ladders and shovel etc.  it would even likely work for a bike. I am planning to hang our bikes from ceiling on hooks. So I will never know how that would work with this product.
