CAP Barbell Olympic 2-Inch Plate Rack

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.

Well constructed, stable. Rated to hold up to 500 lbs. Cleaned up my gym significantly, but that goes without saying.

What a great product, I have three machines for my home gym and I have about 150 lb of weights that are extra and I needed a weight rack instead of Leaning them up on the walls which marked up the walls over time so this rack is essential, it's top quality and heavy duty you can't go wrong with this, however you do have to remove one of the pegs with an angle grinder because most weights you buy now are the same size which like a 45 lb weight is exactly the same height as a 10 lb weight so it will not work on this rack without removing one of those pins with the angle grinder which I had to do but if you don't cut off one of the pens then you will be disappointed with this product

We love this! Super sturdy, even fully loaded. Feels safe from tipping. Downside is the 35s rest on the 45s. Very annoying. We switched the 35s and 25s and put the 5s all on the bottom upright spot and 10s very top. It’s fine but weird they designed it that way. Easy to move around and assemble.

Nice fit for my gym

The CAP Barbell plate rack offers excellent stability even when fully loaded, and the compact size fits perfectly in my home gym. It’s surprisingly easy to reposition, so ease of movement is a plus. Build quality is top-notch—very solid steel with no wobble. It was quick to set up, so ease of assembly is great. On top of that, it looks great with a clean, professional finish. Highly recommended for keeping your plates organized and accessible.

This plate rack was number 3 of trial and error. Not to say that I am picky ( I am), but the rack needed to do primarily three things; save space, build completely, and hold the weight. This rack did all three perfectly, here is why:This rack has a flat profile fitting on the floor along a wall in limited space. Not triangular, not round, nothing hanging in the way. I have 280lbs on this rack that fits perfectly and holds the weight very well.This rack is only THREE pieces, two feet and the primary rack angle. Bolts through the feet into the rack,and done (maybe five minutes build time total from opening the box to disposing the box in the recycling). Unlike many other racks, the weight holder arms are welded to the frame, not screwed on in some less than desirable fashion that sags under the weight is supposed to hold (reason #2 why 2 other racks were returned).Last but not least, profile. I needed this rack to hold weight out from behind my bench area due to limited space. This rack has flat profile with a lot of storage room for plates of all sizes. I recommend roughly 260-280lbs for this rack and you will have no issues. With the flat profile, I have set it on the floor next to my wall between two dumbbell stands. I have plenty of space to take plates off and on the rack without bumping everything on and around the rack.This rack cost a couple of dollars more than the two I returned, but worth every penny, and I should have gone with it from the start. This rack is perfect for me in my space available, I think you will like it as well. I recommend this weight rack.

We got this CAP rack to hold our CAP Olympic plate weights (5s, 10s, 25s and 45s). The price is right and it's sturdy and well-made and fits the CAP plates perfectly. No problems.All it took to set it up was putting two leg brackets on with four bolts. Of all the things we've had to assemble, this has to be one of the quickest and simplest. Use your wrench because it doesn't cinch down by hand and real tools make all assembly jobs easiest.We keep finding ourselves coming back to the CAP weightlifting products and they have never let us down. We don't have other plates from other lines on the rack so we can't speak to the fit on those. Also, we aren't storing any single weights over the 2-45s but it's holding a pretty good accumulative amount of weight.We are very happy with this plate rack and so glad to have the plates off the floor. This is much more practical and safer. The price was one of the lowest we found, if not the lowest.
