full load

All it holds

A full load is the maximum capacity something can carry or handle.

A truck carries a full load of gravel; a washing machine runs with a full load of laundry.

In electrical contexts, full load refers to the maximum power a circuit or device is designed to deliver.

Extended to people, carrying a full load means managing as much as one reasonably can: She's taking a full load of classes this semester.
