The Journey doesn't look to have stronger tubing or welds as other alloy racks I have seen, which tend to have 40 lb-ish ratings. That being said, I have gone grocery shopping with an Axiom Journey and large panniers, and everything worked fine.
Axiom Journey racks use a hand welded, heat treated 6063 tubing, oversized compared to Blackburn or Voyager racks, have a load rating of 154lbs and carry a lifetime warranty. I've seen a couple bent as a result of crashes, but have yet to see one broken, or to see any welds fail. Those are actually the racks I recommend to most cyclists.
