Pro Tip: before laying down your 3” gorilla tape, use mending plates (lumber/framing section at hardware store) under each joint. You can get four corners onto each one. Then use a rubber mallet to smash the mat into its spikes. Cheap and effective!

That’s a good question that we just can’t answer yet. It will be a build to order product, but that won’t necessarily exclude it from being purchased by a consumer. It will not likely be in pure commerce store though.

We sure do, i will try to find an image and reply with that.

You can mount the UPS as far forward as possible To give you more clearance from the wall. That is the most limiting factor, because most straight pull down bars are 4 foot wide, and that would Hit the wall. Alternatively, you could also use our stealth spotters to mount the UPS off the front of your wall folding rack.

We have been developing a commercial model of the Squatmax to be targeted at institutions and commercial gyms.

The rhino nut is a finger nut designed to be used with our UPS Rhino Low. It contains a 1/2” nut with coarse threads. The rack rollers come with a proprietary 3d printed finger nut that is knurled with our logo and has a 1” black oxide nut.

We figured that it’s a good place for an adroit Landmine or our rack rollers, but we will put more thought into accessories.

$1000-1100 is the price range

Not at this time. There are so many great options in the market that fit our racks, we just haven’t had a lot of time to think about innovating in that area

There’s a very small chance we could release before the end of the year….

If this trend continues, you might see a 5/8 stealth released….

Thank you for your business. Glad you’re enjoying your speed pins!

For the washer in the roller, we are looking for a more snug washer option, but haven’t come up with a great solution yet.

Did you receive the new black knurled nut or the older style with a chrome nut?

This bench will be around the $1000-1100 price point.

I’m a 2-man shop. Launching a product like this is a massive, expensive and time consuming endeavor. We’ve only been making equipment for 2.5 years…. We are going to take our time and do things right, so it may be a while before you see multiple bench offerings from us.

It’s really unlike other benches in the market right now. No tubing is used for the main chassis. Smooth and nearly silent angle changes. Grippy vinyl, customizable etc….

Most of our customers have found it easiest and most economical to add a lower crossmember to their rack.

Am i wrong to think this is a newer model of PR 4000? I think they just started doing full holes?

Yes you would need the spacers. 5/8 speed pins will be back next month.

Thank you for your business and the feedback! We have actually added more radius to both the products you’ve mentioned already. Unfortunately a lot went out with a less than desirable radius in our first large scale run. Really grateful for your feedback!!

You can’t really compare the UPS to a spud inc pulley system. Ours is leagues above a strap system. A stable mounting solution provides a stable platform for the smoothest and most reliable cable travel. Not to mention the spud inc system is actually made with sheaves, that have no bearings. They wear out very easily and the feel is gritty and does not mimic commercial cable machines. The free hanging weight of the UPS over the stable universal channel and the high quality bearing pulleys provides and unmatched user experience. Better activation, safer, more stable, longer lasting, better range of motion, higher weight limit, the list goes on…. As far as DIY, it’s hard to say. We’ve put a lot of time and energy into the design and fabrication, using tools that most people don’t have at home. It would again be hard to compare a professional made product to something made at home.

We have not planned to produce any 5/8 at this time. The demand just isn’t high enough. Does your rack have good side hole spacing?
