Ceiling box fan rated?

Hello
I'm guessing no, but I'd like confirmation, or ideally, telling me I'm wrong. This box currently has a hanging light fixture. Would like to put a ceiling fan there. The just is running perpendicular to the metal slotted plate (I wrote a 'J' in blue sharpie). House constructed in 1994. Thanks

You need to remove the hanger so we can see. In general though if it uses 8-32 mounting screws it is not fan rated.

Best to insert your images. Not everyone trusts clicking unknown links. http://www.doityourself.com/forum/li...rt-images.html

Those brown phenolic boxes are rated for light fixtures up to 50lbs.
It looks like the ones in the same series that are fan rated are black.
