Flip-up safeties: fast, versatile protection
The CS-1 flip-up safeties differ from classic fixed safeties through their tilting mechanism: once inserted into the uprights, simply lower them to lock them in position. When you no longer need them, fold them up against the upright to free up space inside the rack. This system lets you go from a safe squat to a deadlift from the floor without removing the safeties, a considerable time saver between exercises.
With a 500 kg capacity, they take failed heavy squats or bench presses without flinching. The 3 mm thick steel guarantees maximum rigidity under load, with no deformation.

The "compatibility" versions let you use safeties of one depth on a rack of another depth, for maximum flexibility in your setup.
More than a safety: a multi-function platform
The CS-1 flip-up safeties can also serve as a pulling platform for exercises starting low (rack pulls, partial deadlifts). Fitted with 1-inch holes on the sides, they are compatible with certain accessories from the CS-1 range: leg roller, modular weight storage and band pegs. This versatility makes them far more than a simple safety device.
