Aperture Engineering Spotter Arm Protectors

Aperture Engineering’s Spotter Arm Protectors shield the exposed metal ends of a power rack’s spotter/safety arms from the bar-on-steel contact that otherwise dings barbell knurling and leaves a sharp, unprotected edge at exactly the height where bars, knees, and stray limbs meet it. They’re made from a purpose-built “TOUGH” material formulation designed to hold up under repeated heavy loads, and also serve as a resting point for lever-arm and jammer-arm attachments. Installation is tool-free: the protector slips over the top of the spotter arm and a small notch snaps into a hole on the underside to lock it in place, and it can be removed just as easily. Sold as a pair (typically with 2 strips of 3M VHB tape), the line is molded specifically per rack model rather than sold as one universal fit – Aperture makes versions for Rogue Fitness (Monster, Monster Lite/SAML-24, Infinity, Ghost Combo Rack HD), REP Fitness (PR-4000, PR-5000), Titan Fitness (TITAN Series, X-3 V2, T-3 V2), Griffin Fitness GR3, Sorinex Half Safety Bars, PRx Profile One, Fringe Sport 2x2, and Surplus Strength Stealth, in several colors including high-visibility options.
