The answer is: Probably strong enough for anything you can imagine putting on it. I'm no engineer, but my redneck math tells me these things are shockingly sturdy.
I'm building a cistern for a man-made pond and the design required me to find a way to store about 3000 gallons of water underground.
The "go to the store and buy it" solution to this problem in the pond world is a product called a water matrix block, also known as an aquablock or soakaway crate.
But those are REALLY EXPENSIVE! As I write this, they're more than $2/gallon of storage. I looked into all kinds of other possible solutions like plastic pallets, culvert pipes, industrial storage totes, rainwater tanks, and other oddball products I could re-purpose.
But the solution I kept coming back to was milk crates. They're cheap, relatively easy to come by, and-as I just learned-STRONG AS HELL!
I bought 400 of them from a pig farmer (yep, really!) and this is a video of me punishing them to see what they can take.
