1.2 to be safe, it will move a 1.8 channel master but there have been a few cases of it snapping and the dish blowing away, some do come with a metal plate as a extra but it bolts to the aluminum and doesn't do much,

I once fabricated a metal cage round the motor and installed a 1.8 on it worked ok, unless your in a very sheltered location 1.2 dish no more,

I recently put a new one on ebay UK it fetched about £350 nice motor good luck with the sale.

From all that I have read its can handle 1.2m to 2.4 m dish. But it does not mention a weight.

Yeah, I thought it was one of the smaller ones that were known to snap in half, so they stopped selling them.
