Olympic 2-Inch Plate Rack

Funcional y pequeño.

The CAP Barbell Olympic Plate Rack is a quality piece of equipment and it arrived generally well packaged. There was a flake of paint chipped off the apex, and I notice another reviewer was concerned about this. But I expect to see a lot more chipping and scratching of this rack as I use it over the years, so from a practical perspective, it's not an issue. At 25 pounds (most of it bottom-loaded because, you know, it's a triangle with feet), it has some heft. So the rack is solid and sturdy--a lot sturdier than I might have expected from the ad images. It does not wobble or vibrate in the least. Assembly was easy: just four bolts. While the welds are not the cleanest I've ever seen, they seem solid. As you can tell from the photos, the iron weights I use fit on the rack without any overlap. On the side with two pegs, I have my 45 lbs and a couple of my 25 lbs. On the other side, I keep 2.5, 5, and 10 lb weights. As set up in the photos, it's holding 240 lbs. I'm confident it can hold quite a bit more. There is a gap of at least a couple of fingers-width between all of the racked plates. I would not recommend this rack for bumper plates because they would overlap. But if you read the description in the ad, they point this out. The price was right and for an economy choice, this might be the best plate rack on Amazon. I'm very happy with my purchase.

Very happy for the price but which the lower poles were fixed a little lower for plate clearance.

Owned this for a few days now. I was a little skeptical at first because of the very thin corners of the triangle area near the base. Turns out, its actually pretty sturdy with some of the weights I placed on. Some of you have probably viewed the smaller version of this which is the 1 inch CAP weight holder thats around $35-40 as it seemed smaller and sturdier. This one turned out a little taller than I thought and that some of the photos from other reviewers threw me a bit off on size estimates even though I saw exact product measurements listed in the description. For those that want a better idea of plate sizing, I wrote in the weight number in the photo I took. I can tell you it can easily fit 45lb plates on either side (if I had any) and then you just have to account for the size that goes above it. I believe overtime the rack was scratch the steel surface because of plates going on/off the rack. I don't see how you can run from that as its just the way it is. In any case, this thing was easy to put together as long as you have a wrench to tighten those bolts. Very happy with the purchase although, I wish it was a little cheaper for the value. Like I mentioned earlier, it was a little taller than expected and my only wish was to have it a little more compact in a way to make space for. Good luck on the decision making :)
