I don't know exactly, maybe like 400???? I know one thing my short bed frame that doesn't have a bed on it would hold the weight for you!!!

If you can spread the weight over three or four it would be no problem. I actually picked mine up one end at a time so my wife could put dollys under it.

Re: 67 short wide box

What dimension lumber are the ceiling joists?How long do the span and how far are they spaced?You meant ceiling joists not rafters,right?The rafters are what the roof is built on top off.You`re not putting it on the roof,right?
