CAP Barbell A-Frame Dumbbell Weight Rack | Color Series

Excellent weight rack – sturdy, sleek, and protective.
I’m very satisfied with this rack for dumbbells. It’s sturdy and stable, with a clean, sleek look that fits in well with any home gym setup. One of the standout features is the wide edge where the dumbbells rest, which helps protect the vinyl coating on the weights – a big plus for maintaining their condition over time.The spacing between the two side rails is quite narrow, which might be a little tight for those with larger hands, but it’s perfect for my weight set, which has a relatively short grip. In fact, if the spacing had been any wider, my dumbbells wouldn’t have fit properly.Overall, a great product that combines function with good design. Highly recommended!

Should be a tiny bit bigger…..
I wish this was 3-4 inches taller, and one inch wider. I have traditional iron hexagonal dumbbells. As this unit sits, I can only put 3 fingers around the hand grip to remove a dumbbell – it should be one inch wider so that I can put my whole hand on the grip. Also the hooks/rests for each set are too close to the rests for the weights above. For example, I cannot place a 30lb. weight next to a 25lb as they will not fit. You must put smaller weights between each one, or unload the entire rack to get to the 30lb (I like to stack with the heaviest on the bottom.) Otherwise, this is a nice unit, solidly built. It just seems to be engineered for smaller weights than what I am using.

Dumb bell rack ( green )
Box smelled & looked dirty / shop worn . Address label was very small and stuck on one end of the box .Good news , the dumb bell rack was clean . Takes about 5 minutes to put together . Well made . Does the job .They include the Allen key . But you will need a socket wrench or box wrench to tighten the nuts fully . They don’tspin freely . Update …The rack looks clean , but it has a very strong smell as well !

Good value way to organize your gym….
Helps keep the garage gym organized. It’s study enough for 45 pound weights, and I think was pretty good value for money.The only downside is the little rubber cushions come off sometimes… but that’s not a huge issue to me.

I spent WAY too much time looking at different small barbell rack listings on Amazon and elsewhere. Many look shoddily built, too small, too big, no rubber grips to stop scratches – and worst of all, the reviews are so contradictory and confusing. I narrowed my shortlist to 3-4 items, but NOTHING, not the listings, nor the reviews told me what I really wanted to know. In the end I chose the “CAP Barbell Black A Frame Dumbbell Rack” because;- First off this rack is super easy to assemble & very stable (unlike many reviews say). All you need is a spanner, or best a socket wrench (have), and it took me less than 10 minutes, fully done.- I have 3 sets of 10kg, 12.5kg & 15kg Dumbells (~22/27/33 pounds) – so I wanted a 3 to 4x rack (this one is 5x).- It’s well balanced, has a wide base, so is rock solid and it’s specs say it holds 91kg (200 pounds). I have 75kg on it, so could add 2x 7.5kg and be under spec – and it’s easily strong enough to hold a pair of 20kg, so 115kg (over spec) so it’s very stable & strong WEIGHT wise. SIZE wise (as in Hex head) is trickier.- Those are kind of medium weights for an average Man, heavy for a Woman. So they’re kind of larger hex heads – so the spacing between each “hook” is important. AND THAT is what I couldn’t find anywhere.- Many reviews are by Women, and they say it’s hard to assemble (it’s not) and sometimes for little “chick’s” neoprene colourful weights they don’t fit and so on…or sometimes reviews are by Guys with HEAVY weights – like 20kg, 25kg, and those suckers have BIG hex heads, so they won’t fit so well.- But if you’re like me, and you have, say, 5kg, 7.5kg, 10kg, 12.5kg, 15kg & even 20kg large rubber head (just, especially if you only have 3-4 sets, depending on weight/size) hex dumbbells, this is a great rack.- The sizes I mention I have aren’t too big – they JUST fit. But above that, you need a much bigger style of rack. This is a budget, cheap, $60AUD rack, and it works great for my small home gym. Probably also totally suitable for the smaller, candy coloured “chick’s” weights.- Another problem people mention is not being able to fit your hand in between to lift the dumbbell out. I have smallish hands for a Man, and I can (just) do it for 10kg, but heavier, no – BUT that’s not how you should lift heavy dumbbells out anyway – my 5th photo shows how you’re meant to do it with two hands.–> FINALLY here is what I COULDN’T find ANYWHERE (for any racks!). My 6th photo shows what I suspected…the “gap” between each “hook” gets smaller as you go up. So my 3x dumbbell sets fit fine on top of each other at the BOTTOM. But at the top/they don’t fit! As you can see I spaced them out anyway. My pic 6 shows with a tape measure, and they lose 2cm per “hook” as you go up. Hope this helps save some people time. But unless you have really heavy weights, I recommend this as really good home gym dumbbell rack.

I was looking for a dumbbell rack for five pairs of small dumbbells to fit out my home gym which I use for personal training. Most I saw were in the region of £50-70 while this was £40 & looked identical.I’ve previously bought Cap weight plate storage trees & was suitably impressed so I bought this. You will require a spanner in addition to the supplied hex key (& I’d recommend using your own, longer hex key too) but it was easy to assemble. I imagine it is going to give me decades of service as it is not a heavy use item.

Jättebra!
