Can my cabinets hold weight of cast iron sink?

We had to dismantle our kitchen for foundation work and are now reassembling it. With the new configuration we were able to reuse most of the cabinets installed by previous owners, but not the countertops and sink. The cabinets are a pretty low end, made in China, shaker style. How do I know if they will be strong enough to hold the weight of a new enamel cast iron sink?

The previous countertops were granite. If the cabinets held granite with a stainless steel sink, will they be strong enough to hold wood counters with an enamel cast iron sink? We like the look of such a sink as it fit more with the old character of our house and we are trying to down play all the stainless steel look of the kitchen.
