No, but there's no point in overengineering.  We could easily make
ladders that will support 1000 pounds, for example, but they'd weigh
more and cost more.  100 years in the future, we'll probably still
have ladders rated for 300 pounds (or maybe we'll have learned the
metric system by then--anything is possible) but they'll be light
enough to easily carry with one hand.
