Our take

3×3 in. 11-gauge Monster Lite steel with a base that doesn't need bolting down.

Flat-foot base (no bolt-down) with a 1,000 lb rating; REP's replacement for the HR-5000.

What it’s for

Half Racks: A half rack gives you most of what a full power cage does (safeties, J-hooks, a pull-up bar and attachment holes) in an open, two-post design that is easier to fit in a garage. Many need bolting down or plate storage for stability; check the base, steel gauge, height and spotter arms before you buy.
