Buy NowThese are REP’s bolt-on plate storage horns, sold as a set of six pairs (three 6” and three 12”) so you can line the sides and back of a rack with plate posts. The 4000-series horns are chrome-plated 11-gauge steel; each holds a stack of 45-lb bumpers or irons and keeps plates organized and within reach during a session. They mount to REP 4000- and 5000-series racks.
Prefer a single pair to start, or a freestanding option? Compare the individual Weight Horns or, for dumbbells rather than plates, the Dumbbell Rack.
| Type | plate storage horns (6-pair set) |
|---|---|
| Mount | bolts to 4000/5000 rack |
| Steel | 11-gauge, chrome |
| Capacity | 45 lb bumpers/irons |
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.
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.

| Retailer | 4.9/5 | 368 reviews | |
| Youtube | 4.5/5 | 2 reviews | Two hands-on videos considered, both positive. A PR-4000 6" horn owner (5 pairs) reports "super solid, i love it" after installing, plates fit nicely with a little extra room, and the only open question is untested interference with benching. A broader PR-4000 accessory roundup recommends the weight horns as a storage solution: "Getting my weights off of a standard weight train onto my rack has been awesome. It saves me a ton of space in my garage and it also adds stability." |
| 4.0/5 | 7 reviews | No dedicated Reddit thread reviews REP Weight Storage Horn Sets specifically; the product surfaces in passing across seven r/homegym comments/threads within larger rack-build and shipping-update posts. Sentiment is consistently neutral-to-positive: horns are treated as a routine, low-drama rack upgrade for getting plates off the floor. The one substantive discussion point (whether horn-stored plates count against a rack's total weight rating) echoes the same caveat BarBend's PR-5000 review makes explicitly, rather than any product complaint. |
The Weight Storage Horn Sets are REP’s standalone Weight Horns hardware bundled into a full six-pair set (three 6” and three 12” horns) so a whole rack gets outfitted in one purchase. Functionality and build quality carry the set — each horn holds up to 315 lb of iron or 180 lb of bumpers, chrome-plated 11-gauge steel on the 4000 Series, and reviewers repeatedly single out the round, capped tips for how easily plates slide on and off. The soft spots are cosmetic: the finish scrapes with heavy use, and end caps on the PR-1000 variant eventually fall out. It only fits REP’s own 4000/5000/Apollo upright spec, so measure before buying.
