Wondering about weight limits?

Here’s a simple breakdown by chair type.

Understanding Chair Weight Ratings

Salon Chairs: The hydraulic pump alone is rated for 440 lbs, but when accounting for the chair top, the safe recommended capacity is 400 lbs.

Barber Chairs: The hydraulic pump itself is rated up to 660 lbs, but when fully assembled with the chair top, we recommend a safe weight range of 450–500 lbs for optimal durability and performance.

Salon Chair Upgrades: Some salon chairs offer a Highland pump upgrade, increasing the weight capacity to 500 lbs. Check out chair base options here.
