CAP A-Frame Olympic Plate Rack – Heavy-Duty 2-Inch Weight Plate Tree and Storage - 5 and 7 post options

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.

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.

I don't write reviews almost never but i saw it useful helping somebody, I am doing gym for 20 years and i can say that this rack is just amazing for the value. Is well made and solid, and saves a lot of space in your home gym. Is very easy to assemble don't listen other comments from lazy people. It takes no more then 10-15 min max. Works perfect and can feet any pair of plates 45 35 25 10 5 2.5 If you have a lot of 45 plates or more than 2 pairs its better going with a floor rack or any other one bigger. I strongly recommend to everybody having a gym in the home like me, it saves a lot of space, and is very solid and well made. This is the best option no way, Thank you

Nice little weight rack, just the size I needed. Easy to put together. I leave my 25 and 45 lb weights on my home gym, but needed a place for my 5 and 10 lb weights, this fits nicely in a small place, easy on and off. I have my garage floor coated so it was very slippery, I roughed up the bottom surface edges and used a degreaser to clean and put stick on rubber feet on each corner to keep it from sliding, which worked well!

This plate rack was number 3 of trial and error. Not to say that I am picky ( I am), but the rack needed to do primarily three things; save space, build completely, and hold the weight. This rack did all three perfectly, here is why: This rack has a flat profile fitting on the floor along a wall in limited space. Not triangular, not round, nothing hanging in the way. I have 280lbs on this rack that fits perfectly and holds the weight very well. This rack is only THREE pieces, two feet and the primary rack angle. Bolts through the feet into the rack, and done (maybe five minutes build time total from opening the box to disposing the box in the recycling). Unlike many other racks, the weight holder arms are welded to the frame, not screwed on in some less than desirable fashion that sags under the weight is supposed to hold (reason #2 why 2 other racks were returned). Last but not least, profile. I needed this rack to hold weight out from behind my bench area due to limited space. This rack has flat profile with a lot of storage room for plates of all sizes. I recommend roughly 260-280lbs for this rack and you will have no issues. With the flat profile, I have set it on the floor next to my wall between two dumbbell stands. I have plenty of space to take plates off and on the rack without bumping everything on and around the rack. This rack cost a couple of dollars more than the two I returned, but worth every penny, and I should have gone with it from the start. This rack is perfect for me in my space available, I think you will like it as well. I recommend this weight rack.

Love this weight tree. It’s great value for money. I appreciate that it’s tall enough to be comfortable to use. Easy assembly using four screws/washers/nuts. Sturdy build quality! I also love/appreciate the fact it has numerous slots for weight plates.

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.

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.
