Eleiko IPF Competition Combo Rack, Skai

The Eleiko IPF Competition Combo Rack, Skai is purpose-built competition furniture: a single squat-rack-and-bench-press station used at IPF World Championships and by serious powerlifting gyms, built in Sweden and IPF-certified for meet use. “Skai” refers to the newer of Eleiko’s two bench-pad options – a seamless injection-moulded polyurethane cushion the company markets as more hygienic and comfortable than the older PUR pad it’s paired against on the same product line, at a lower price than that PUR alternative. The redesign centers on a patent-pending tilt-arm mechanism that lets the whole rack shift to a narrower stance in one lever motion (useful for lifters with shoulder-mobility limits), numbered and magnetized height-adjustment pins that seat without fishing for the far hole, and polyurethane-rollered J-cups that spare barbells the wear of bare-metal contact.

It’s a single-purpose piece, not a general home-gym rack – no pull-up bar, no plate storage built in, no accessory ecosystem – and it’s priced and positioned for facilities running or hosting powerlifting meets rather than a typical home gym. Owners consistently note it costs more than combo racks from ER, ATX, or Texas Strength Systems, and a direct comparison against the older PUR pad found the Skai pad noticeably cushier but about half an inch narrower than the roughly 12.5” competition-standard width, with less surface grip in the video reviewer’s own testing (though the broader community still describes it as sticky/high-friction by design, and treats a Reddit report of a slippery pad as an isolated QC defect rather than the norm).
