Weight Plate Range - Weightlifting Rack

Storing Your Equipment

In a gym, whether at home or in a club, weights and dumbbells left on the floor are a source of accidents: you trip over them, you search for them, you damage the flooring. A weight rack, or disc tree, keeps them within reach, sorted by weight, which saves time between sets. Dumbbell and barbell holders complete the organisation of a safe and functional training space.

The squat rack

The squat rack is a structure that holds the bar at shoulder height, allowing you to load and unload it without lifting it from the floor: it is essential for squats, military presses, and, with a bench, bench presses. The drilled uprights allow you to adjust the height of the hooks according to your size and the exercise. The rack differs from a cage by its opening: more compact, it is suitable for smaller spaces.

The cage and safety

The squat cage, or power cage, surrounds the user with four uprights connected by adjustable safety bars: if you fail under a heavy load, the bar rests on these safeties instead of falling on you. It is the safest equipment for training alone. Check the maximum allowable load, the stability of the structure, fixed to the floor if necessary, and compatibility with your Olympic or standard bars and weights.

Frequently asked questions

What’s the difference between a squat rack and a squat cage?

The rack consists of two uprights with bar supports: compact, it is suitable for small spaces. The cage, with four uprights, surrounds the user and includes safety bars, providing more reassurance when training alone.

How to adjust the safety bars for squats?

Place them just below the lowest position of the bar, at the bottom of your squat. If you fail, you can rest the load on them without being crushed. Do a test with no weight to check the height.

What space should be allowed for installing a rack at home?

Allow more than two meters wide for an Olympic bar and enough room to load the weights. Check the ceiling height if you're doing pull-ups, and protect the floor with a rubber mat.

How do I choose a weight tree suitable for my weights?

Check the diameter of the bars: Olympic weights have a hole diameter of fifty millimetres, standard weights about thirty. Allow enough bars to sort the weights by size.

Should a rack be fixed to the floor?

A lightweight rack can tip over during a sudden bar return: fix it to the floor or weigh down its base with weights. A heavy and wide cage is more stable, but anchoring is still recommended for heavy loads.
