Manticore Folding Half Rack

Gym so small it could be featured on an episode of Itty-Bitty Home Gyms? Congrats! This is the rack for you. Its 1,000-pound capacity outlasts heavy squats, handles big bench presses and withstands chin-ups with 8 kids hanging onto your waist — just bolt it securely before you go trying for that new chin-up PR. The uprights measure true 3″ x 3″ which is EXACTLY 76.2mm x 76.2mm, instead of the typical 75mm x 75mm uprights of other brands’ imported racks. By matching the same tubing specs as many of our American competitors, you can mix and match attachments freely without needing to stick to one brand — hello, open ecosystem!

What is a Rack?

What a squat/folding rack is

Racks in this category trade the full four-post cage for a smaller footprint — wall-mounted fold-back racks and half-racks that squat and press without swallowing a room. A fold-back rack hinges flat against the wall between sessions, making it the go-to for shared garages. Prioritize 3x3 or Monster Lite uprights and 11-gauge steel so “space-saving” doesn’t mean “wobbly,” and confirm your wall studs can anchor it.
