Weight Storage Horn Sets

These 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

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.

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."
Reddit 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.

  • +Functionality: each horn holds up to 315 lb of iron plates or 180 lb of bumpers, and the set includes 6 pairs (12 horns) to outfit both sides of a rack at once (REP product page)
  • +Build quality: chrome-plated 11-gauge steel (4000 Series) with a rubber gasket stop, and reviewers repeatedly call out the round, capped tips for easing plate loading (GymRadar reviewers Big Ross, TurtleSpeed-Peyton)
  • +Durability: a running design revision added a thicker rubber stopper to keep plates off the mounting bolts, an improvement over earlier units (GymRadar reviewer Narrow Pavlo)
  • +Value: bundles the same hardware as REP's standalone Weight Horns into one set price rather than buying pairs piecemeal (REP product page)
  • Durability: finish scrapes off the posts with heavy use over time, though function is unaffected (GymRadar reviewer Big Ross)
  • Durability: end caps eventually fall out on the PR-1000 variant (GymRadar reviewer Big Matt B)
  • Functionality: the chrome (4000-series) finish is preferred by owners for how easily plates slide on/off; the black urethane-coated option is stickier by comparison (GymRadar reviewer Big Danger 707)
  • Versatility: horn sizing and mounting hardware differ by rack series (4000/5000 vs. Apollo), so the set has to match the specific rack (REP product page, Garage Gym Reviews)
