Squat Racks and Stands
26 products
Squat racks and stands are a practical choice for classic strength training when space, budget or training style makes a full power cage not possible. A well-built squat rack gives you a stable setup for squats, presses, pulls and bodyweight work, while keeping your training area open and efficient.
Since 2009, Little Bloke Fitness has supplied Australian gyms with equipment designed for real-world training and long-term use. As the home of 1RM and 360 Strength, we design and test our products in Melbourne, working closely with our manufacturing partners to focus on what matters most in squat racks and stands - stability, adjustability and safe barbell setup. These features make them especially well suited to home gyms and busy studio environments.

Why choose a squat rack or squat stands?
A squat rack or a set of squat stands gives you a secure position to rack and unrack a barbell while you load and unload weight plates, and during lifts. The key difference between these and a power rack is size and openness.
- Many squat racks and stands use two uprights, which keeps the footprint smaller and suits tighter training spaces.
- A gym half rack (also commonly called a squat half rack or simply a half rack) often adds extra structure and storage while staying more open than a full cage.
For lifters building a home gym with limited room, or anyone who wants a simpler setup without a full enclosure, squat racks and stands can be a practical, versatile solution.
Features of our squat racks and squat stands
Our racks are designed in Melbourne by the Little Bloke team — experienced lifters who train on this equipment ourselves. Every design decision is made with real training in mind, focusing on stability, usability and long-term performance, not just showroom appeal.
They offer:
- Stable under load - solid frames and balanced footprints that stay planted when the weight gets heavy
- Efficient use of space - compact designs that suit home gyms and studios without limiting training
- Practical adjustability - J-hook and safety positions that line up with real lifting positions
- Reliable safety options - designed to support confident solo training
- Versatile for more than squats - suitable for pressing, pulling, rack pulls and bodyweight work
- Expandable setups - compatible with pull-ups, dips, band pegs, storage and other add-ons (depending on model)
- Durable construction and finishes - built to handle regular use and hold up over time
- Clear specifications and compatibility - straightforward sizing, ratings and upgrade paths so there’s no guesswork
Expert tip: when lifting without a spotter, set your safeties just below your deepest safe position so a missed rep is controlled, not catastrophic.
