Weight Limit on old beds

I just bought an existing tanning salon and it has 5 old wolf series 2 beds 30 min.(1986)along with three 20 min. beds(1989) and one Montego Bay 2800 Legand series. The previous owner said that the 20 min. beds have more support than the 30 min. I have a client that wants to lay in the 30 min. beds, but she is heavy and I am afraid for her saftey. I called the acrylic man. and they wouldn't give me a limit on their acrylics. How do you handle this situation? Please Help.

Re: Weight Limit on old beds

Okay, I have several old montego bay beds and I put all my large people in them. I believe the weight limit on most are around 250. I'm guessing that the ones you have has supports along each lamp. Mine do. As long as none of them are cracked or missing I believe it will be okay. Most of my customers are probably around (large customers) 200 or a little above, I don't have anyone that is morbidly obese.

As long as the supports are there and there are no cracks in the acrylic it will be okay. Most acrylics on the bottom, I just replaced my montego bay last week after 4 years, are thicker.

Re: Weight Limit on old beds

Almost any time I have had an acrylic broke by a person, they are thin as a rail. And they usually kneeled to get in the bed?? I do not think I have ever had an acrylic broke by a heavy person in 12 years.
