The Matrix Magnum Series MG-A691-05 Double Half Rack is a robust strength training equipment designed for supervised areas, offering a comprehensive solution for various exercises. This double half rack is built to withstand rigorous use in commercial or institutional settings, emphasizing stability, safety, and durability.

Function Description:

The Double Half Rack serves as a versatile platform for strength training, accommodating a wide range of exercises including squats, presses, and other free weight movements. Its design allows for multiple users or simultaneous exercises, making it efficient for busy fitness environments. The rack features adjustable safety stops, which are crucial for preventing injury during heavy lifts by limiting the range of motion. Weight plate storage horns are integrated into the design, providing convenient and organized storage for Olympic plates, thus keeping the training area tidy and safe.

The overall structure is designed to be secured to the floor, enhancing stability and preventing tipping, which is a critical safety feature for high-intensity training.
