I contacted a truss company and 2 X 4 trusses are rated for 500 pounds at any single point.

I am not sure I trust that but it is a better data point than a random stranger on the forum who always posts the worst case. Call a firm for yourself and ask.
Where did you get it and who did the install? TIA
