Lift bigger, train smarter, and get more from every workout with BLK BOX squat racks. Built tough, fully customisable, and perfect for home gyms or commercial gyms.
Squat Stands
BLK BOX squat stands are built from heavy-duty steel, providing a stable platform for squats, bench presses, pull-ups, and a wide range of other lifts. They suit home gyms, garage setups, and professional training facilities where a full power rack isn't practical, whether due to floor space or budget.
Customisable height, attachments, and configurations mean a squat stand can be adapted to fit different spaces and training styles rather than requiring a facility to build around a fixed rack footprint. Safety spotter arms and weight storage options add functionality without needing a separate power rack.
Compared to a full rack, squat stands take up less floor space and cost less, which makes them a practical entry point for a home gym or a secondary training station in a larger facility. For a facility looking to standardise its main strength area, compare against our squat racks and power racks range instead.
Mobile and single-leg configurations are also available, giving more flexibility for facilities that need to reconfigure their floor space between different class types or training sessions. Browse our squat rack attachments to extend a stand's functionality further.
