COMPETITION WEIGHT TREES

Name: COMPETITION WEIGHT TREES
Brand: Texas Strength Systems
Rating: 4.67 (5 reviews)

Texas Strength Systems’ Competition Weight Tree is a heavy-duty plate storage tree built for meet day: it’s designed to be rolled away fully loaded on a hand truck, so plates don’t have to be unstacked and restacked between flights. Holes in the front pipes accept a pin or bolt to lock plates in place during transport, and the frame carries a full 1000 lb competition plate set. It ships in a standard textured black powdercoat finish (custom colors available on request) and is made to order in the USA.

Finish	Textured black powdercoat (custom colors available on request)
Portability	Holes in front pipes for a pin/bolt to secure plates; designed to be moved fully loaded via hand truck
Construction	Made in the USA, made to order
Weight capacity	1,000 lb

What is a Storage?

What gym storage is

Storage keeps a home gym safe, tidy, and usable: weight-plate trees and pegs, barbell holders (vertical or horizontal), dumbbell and kettlebell shelves, and wall or rack-mounted organizers. Loose plates and bars on the floor are a trip-and-damage hazard; storage reclaims space and protects your equipment.

What to consider

Match storage to what you own (plate diameter, number of bars, dumbbell count) and your space — wall-mounted units and rack-hung storage save floor area, while free-standing trees move easily. Check the weight capacity and, for wall units, that you can anchor into studs.

Texas Strength Systems’ Competition Weight Tree is built for meet day, not just storage: its defining feature is that a fully loaded tree rolls away on a hand truck without unstacking plates first, a workflow the meet host who runs it confirms holds up in practice. Owners consistently praise the fully-welded build quality — several bought multiples or upgraded from lesser trees — making build quality the standout dimension. Value is the weakest: reviewers repeatedly call shipping cost steep relative to the $215 sticker price, and coverage is thin (five GymRadar owner reviews, no independent editorial or video testing).

+Functionality: dolly-portable — the whole loaded tree rolls away for meet-day plate changes without unloading (ATP Gym, USAPL meet host — GymRadar)
+Build quality: fully-welded, solid-as-a-rock construction owners describe as overbuilt for its size (Brandon Doyle, Big Jeff — GymRadar)
+Versatility: compact footprint tucks into a corner while holding a full competition plate set (Brandon Doyle, Maffew Wallrus — GymRadar)
+Durability: still in service after moving between powerlifting meets, a commercial gym, and a home garage (Maffew Wallrus — GymRadar)

−Value: shipping cost repeatedly called out as steep relative to the $215 list price (Brandon Doyle, Big Jeff — GymRadar)
−Build quality: one owner found a sharp unfinished edge on a bottom support and added plastic end caps himself (Big Jeff — GymRadar)
−Functionality: coverage is thin — five GymRadar owner reviews only, no editorial or video testing to corroborate load-capacity claims
