Best BudgetRank #11 in Power Racks
Mikolo Safety Catches Spotter Arms
by Mikolo
Score
Flat spotter arms for 2x2 uprights with 1-inch holes, rated by the maker to 800 lb the pair. The attachment that lets you bench and squat alone, which is the whole reason a home lifter buys a rack.
- Anyone training alone who currently benches without a catch under the bar. Also the cheapest way to make a half rack usable for heavy squats.
- Your rack uses 5/8-inch hardware or 3x3 uprights, or you want strap safeties that catch a bar more quietly than steel.
Strengths

Apartment and garage savior. Folds flat to 4" against the wall when not in use. Pricier per vertical inch of rack, but the only rack that truly disappears.
The cheapest full cage here that still states an ASTM-tested frame. CAP publishes 11- and 12-gauge steel tubing, a 46x50x85 inch footprint and 54 lb shipping weight, with J-cups, a pull-up bar and weight posts included.
The one cage here that ships with a lat pulldown rather than selling it as an attachment. Sportsroyals states a 1200 lb capacity on a 50x50mm commercial steel frame, with upper and lower pulleys included.
The half-rack option, which is the right shape when ceiling height or floor space rules out a full cage. FLYBIRD state an integrated pull-up bar and adjustable uprights.
The cheapest way to add a genuine dip station to a rack you already own. Mounts to 2x2 uprights with 98-105 cm post spacing regardless of hole diameter, and gives both a wide and a narrow grip.
