This weight rack was built to last a lifetime. The rack is constructed of 2 1/2” tubing. Not the cheap flat bar steel so typically seen. This rack is something you could only find in a gym. Powertec is also the only company in its class to incorporate PVC sleeves on each weight horn to prevent scratching from the plates. They have also built in a bar socket to hold your Olympic bar in an upright storage position when not in use.
