CAP Barbell Olympic 2-Inch Plate 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. Read more

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. Read more

It is easy to assemble and very sturdy. I put 4 of my 45 pound plates on one side thinking it might make it tip over but not at all. It holds all of my weights and works great. Read more

Just received this item and my first impression was it's a LOT sturdier than I thought. Mine was already assembled. All I had to do was put on the legs at the bottom. 4 screws that have to be assembled with a ratchet set. Before I bought this I was thinking the arms were "screwed" on as well. That is NOT the case. They are welded on and very sturdy. Everything is heavy duty steel except for the ends of the "arms" which have plastic caps and the ends of the "legs" which are rubber. On the 3 arm side I imagined that I could have 10LB weights on the middle arm and 5LB plates on the top arm. My plates overlap!!! I have standard "Fitness Gear" plates that were purchased at Academy Sports. They are not rubberized but they do have grips. So the 10LB plates cannot be next to the 5LB plates. On the 2 arm side I have the 45LB plates at the bottom, 25 LB plates at the top. The 45LB and 35LB plates would fit just fine on this side but I chose to put my 35LB plates on the bottom of the 3 arm side. So my setup is: 2 ARM side - 45LB plates at bottom, 25LB plates at top. 3 ARM side - 35LB plates at bottom, 10LB plates in the middle. and my barbell sleeve collars at the top!! My 2.5LB plates are on the top/middle/inner arm and my 5LB plates are on the bottom/middle/inner arm. All the outside arms for the 2 and 3 sides can hold up to 4 PLATES. In other words, 4 - 45LB weights could be on one arm!!! Any questions on this item - just ask!!! Be glad to help!!! Read more

I have a set of BFCO plates ranging from 5-45 (2 Each) & a set of VTX plates 2.5-45 (2 Each) I have everything on here with no overlapping. I mean it has 7 Pegs. 45,35,25,10,5,& 2.5 is 6. Not sure why people can't fit their plates on here. The VTX 25's are the only plates noticeably larger than the BFCOs. Everything else is the same diameter or close enough not to mention a difference. I put 45's (X4) on the bottom 2-peg side,with 25's (4X) above them. 35's (4X) on the bottom 3-peg side,10's (4X) in the middle,& 2.5's (2X) above them. Then I put the 5's (4X) on the bottom center peg,& the locks on the top center pegs. Now I could've put the 5's over the 10's,but it would've been touching a bit. But why even try to do that,when you have the 2 center pegs that easily accommodate small plates? Yes some brands are larger than others. But like another reviewer said,just adjust them until you get a fit that works for you. I tried 1 of the 5's over the 10's,& saw it was too close. So I immediately put the 5's on the bottom center peg. So everything fits fine. It's not rocket science. & its sturdy & saves plenty of space & makes things easier when picking up plates. I see absolutely no reason to put the 5's over the 10's if they don't fit. Looks like I could even put the 35's on the side with the 45's,but there's no point in that for Me. You have more space with the 25's over the 45's,for easy removing/replacing. & no problem removing/replacing the 35's. The 10's above don't pose a problem. & plus they're 10's! Also that bottom center peg looks like it could accommodate as big as 35's,for people who have more than 4. The other pegs can hold 5-6 max for 45/35/25,depending on your brand. 5 for these 2 brands I have. Then 3 more 10's with these I have. But 8 total if I had all BFCO. Plenty of space for more 5's & 2.5's. Read more

Super easy to put together. Handled all the extra plates that were on the ground or leaning against the wall. Was worried about the quality due to the low price… nope! It’s solid. Read more
