2. What are the types of squat stands?

Two types of commercial squat stands

  • Fixed
  • Adjustable

Fixed squat stands have two posts that are fixed in height. The height of the barbell is adjusted by changing the hooks’ position. 

Adjustable squat stands have posts that can change in height. This is done by sliding the top post up or down.

3. Is the squat stand any different from a squat rack?

10. How much weight can the commercial squat stand bear?

A squat stand can carry weights from 500 lbs (1000kg) to over 1000lbs. The weight capacity mostly depends on the make and type of squat stand.

Adjustable squat stands have load limits up to 600lbs. While fixed ones can bear over 1000lbs.

11. What kind of metal is used for squat stands?

A36 stainless steel tubes are the best metal types for squat stands. They are rigid and can handle constant heavy impacts. Be sure to find squat stands with gauge no. 7. This is the thickness preferred by commercial squat stands manufacturers since it does not buckle easily.

Q235 is another option that can be compared to the quality of A36 stainless steel.

12. What’s the usual size of the uprights of squat stands?

The uprights or vertical posts of a squat stand are typically 2” x 2” square steel tubes. 

There are also 2” x 3” steel tubes in the market. But the more heavy-duty ones used for commercial squat stands are the 3” x 3” steel tube.

13. Can I adjust the width between the uprights?

No, the width between the posts is fixed. On some models, you can only change its position from the center of the squat stand. 

14. How wide should a squat stand be?

A squat stand could only be as wide as 49”. This is because an Olympic squat bar ranges from 51” to 52”. And squat stands should be narrower to hold the barbells properly.

The width of squat stands range from 43” to 49”. But most commercial squat stands are 46” to 49” wide.

15. How do you check that the squat stand is welded properly?

A quality-made squat stand would be welded just like a stack of dimes in a row. Just like the image below.

That kind of welding quality is a sign of a highly skilled welder. And that translates to a well-built and high–end commercial squat stand. While you may not see this in marketing pictures, you can ask the manufacturer to send you some snippets of the welded parts.

16. How to find a well-built squat stand through its upright holes?

There are three things you need to ask your manufacturer about the holes on its uprights.

  • Method
  • Spacing
  • Size

These three can be a great indicator if the squat stand is well-made.

Method

Using a laser to cut the holes on the uprights is the most ideal method of doing it. Laser-cut holes leave no dent on the metal. Thus, it maintains the metal’s structural integrity.

A clean-cut hole also results in a cleanly made hole. That means your squat stand accessories are securely fastened when inserted into the holes.

Spacing

Commercial grade squat stands have holes spaced 1” apart. The 1” spacing gives the user finer control on his or her J-hooks and other attachments.

Commercial Squat Stand 19

Figure 10: Squat stand hole spacing

Size

The size of the hole should be in the range of 5/8” to 2/3”. 

Any more or less than that can pose problems. A hole that is bigger or lesser than the usual sizes would give you a headache in finding the right accessories. 

Moreover, the hole size should not take up more than 2/3 of the width of the upright. If that happens, the uprights will buckle.

Details like these show if a manufacturer prioritizes quality. YR Fitness gets it right. Talk to us for more build insights.

17. What are the “must-have” accessories for a squat stand?

Accessories that your commercial squat stands need.

  • Safety arms, straps, or pins
  • J-hooks (included in your squat stand, but you would need another set for bench pressing)
  • Pull up bar (included in some models of squat stands)

  • Dip station
  • Plate storage
