Equip your gym with a versatile and sturdy squat cage, ideal for weight training and CrossFit enthusiasts. This power rack offers excellent safety for squats, pull-ups and much more, even in a limited space thanks to its compact dimensions (212 x 122 x 122 cm).
One-piece uprights, what makes the difference
One-piece uprights. The four uprights of the CS-Basic are a single 212 cm piece. Many entry-level racks use two-part uprights to cut shipping costs, at the expense of the stability and rigidity of the whole rack.
350 kg load capacity. Enough to train heavy on squats and bench press, up to 1RM attempts.
Wide, deep J-cups. The bar drops in straight without hitting the rack, when unracking as well as racking. Extra CS-Basic J-cups are available for a second station.
An optional pulley, whenever you want. The CS-Basic high/low pulley mounts on the rack and holds 120 kg with a 1:1 ratio.

Which options can be added to the CS-Basic rack?
Accessories sold separately are: width adjustable dip bars, high and low pulley, storage extension for bars and plates (which also adds stability), T-Bar row support, leg roller (Bulgarian split squats, nordic curl) and extra J-cups. Packs bringing these options together are available.
What is the difference between the CS-Basic and the CS-1 rack?
The CS-Basic is a fixed 212 cm rack with 5 x 5 cm uprights, a 350 kg working load and the best value for money in the range. The CS-1 is a modular system with 75 x 75 mm uprights, available in 204 or 236 cm height, with extensions (6 uprights, monolift, jammer arms, pulley, folding version) to grow over time.
Does the CS-Basic cage need to be bolted to the floor?
Floor fixing is not essential for normal use thanks to the 122 x 122 cm footprint and the weight of the frame. It is recommended for dynamic pull-ups or kipping. The storage extension, loaded with plates, adds stability.
Which exercises can you do in the CS-Basic cage?
Squats, up to 1RM attempts (350 kg load capacity), with the J-cups and the safeties adjustable in 7.5 cm steps; pull-ups on the multi-grip bar (straight, neutral and 45° grips, standard or fat-grip thickness). With the options sold separately: dips, T-Bar rows, high and low pulley work, Bulgarian split squats and Nordic curls with the leg roller.
Are the CS-Basic uprights one piece?
Yes, the four uprights are a single 212 cm piece with no joint, for better stability and rigidity than a rack with two-part uprights.
