Which height rack suits my space best?

One of the most common questions we get asked is which of our racks will fit in a customer’s gym. It’s an important thing to check before purchasing, so we’ve answered it for you here by ordering each rack below from shortest to tallest to help you quickly identify which rack will fit in your space.

Our shortest offering is the Dual Action Cable Machine at 2.1 metres while our Phase 4 Flagship Rack comes in as the tallest at 2.32 metres.

 

Dual Action Pulley Cable Machine — 2100mm 

 

Phase 3 Power Rack — 2150mm 

 

Phase 2 Freestanding Squat Rack — 2167mm 

 

Phase 3 Cable Weight Stack — 2180mm 

 

Multi-Functional Trainer — 2220mm

Please note: If you’re installing this rack with the ceiling height close to the unit, make sure to install the counter-balance first into the uprights. 

 

Phase 2 Quarter Squat Rack (plate-loaded & pin-loaded) — 2230mm 

 

Phase 2 Wall Mounted Folding Squat Rack — 2234mm 

 

Phase 2 Freestanding Folding Power Rack (plate-loaded & pin-loaded) — 2261mm 

 

Advanced Multi-Functional Trainer — 2306mm

 

Phase 4 Cable Equipped Multi Functional Squat Rack (with & without the smith machine) — 2320mm

 

How much clearance do I need above my rack?

You only need a few centimetres above your rack to ensure the pulley wheels can run smoothly. For our Multi-Functional Trainer, please note that if you’re short on height you’ll need to install the machine’s counterbalances while the rack is still lying on the floor to avoid access restrictions later on.
