Powerline Half Rack

• Compact, open-back design: a two-post half rack takes up far less room than a full cage, so it fits tighter spaces.
• Safeties included: a pair of J-cup lift-offs and safety spotter arms come standard, so you can train heavy solo with confidence.
• 317 kg weight capacity: heavy-duty 2″×2″ 14-gauge steel handles serious loads.
• Home-friendly height: 211 cm tall — shorter than most commercial half racks, so it fits garages and basements.
• Close 5 cm hole spacing: dial in your J-cups and spotters at the right height for every lift.
• Expandable: add the PLA500 lat attachment, a back-extension, extra J-cups and weight horns to build it out.

The PPR500X offers the durability and reliability of a commercial half rack at a more economical level. Measuring 211 cm tall, it's shorter than most commercial half racks — a great choice for basements, garage gyms and home gyms.

The frame is built from 2″×2″, 14-gauge steel and rated to a 317 kg load. A pair of J-cup lift-offs hold your bar ready, while safety spotter arms catch a failed rep, so you can work out alone with peace of mind. Upright holes are spaced every 5 cm so you can set your J-cups and spotters at exactly the right height, and the 17 mm holes accept a range of rack accessories.

When you're ready to expand, add the optional lat attachment, back-extension, extra J-cups and weight horns to grow the rack into a complete strength station.

What's the difference between a half rack and a full power cage?
A half rack like the PPR500X is a two-post, open-back design — you lift in front of the uprights, with spotter arms to catch the bar — so it takes up less space. A full cage like the PPR1000X surrounds you on four posts for maximum security. The half rack is the more compact, economical choice; the full cage offers the most safety for heavy solo lifting.

Are the J-cups and spotter arms included?
Yes — a pair of J-cup lift-offs and safety spotter arms come standard. You can add extra J-cups (PPRJC) if you want a spare set.

How much weight does it hold?
It's rated to a 317 kg capacity, which covers heavy squats, presses and rack pulls for the vast majority of lifters.

Will it fit in my garage?
At 211 cm tall and a 128 × 129 cm footprint with an open back, it's compact and shorter than most commercial half racks — it fits most garages, basements and home gyms, with about 2.2 m of ceiling clearance.

Can I add a lat pulldown or back extension?
Yes. The PLA500 lat attachment adds lat pulldowns and seated rows, and the PPR500EXT adds back extensions. Weight horns (PPRWH) add on-rack plate storage. All are sold separately.

How is it delivered?
It ships free by freight from our Adelaide warehouse in 2 boxes. Orders are dispatched the next business day, with delivery typically 3–8 business days to metropolitan areas. Freight orders are usually left unattended (Authority to Leave), so please ensure there's a safe, accessible spot to receive it.
