Do I need a full power rack, or is a half rack enough?

It depends on how the station is used. An open stand or half rack (like the B1 or B2X/B2XX) suits a supervised or lower-load station; a fully enclosed cage (like the B6X/B7, B9 or B11) makes more sense for unsupervised heavy squats and presses, since it catches the bar on every side rather than front-to-back only.

Do commercial racks and benches arrive pre-assembled?

No — Gym Factory ships machines disassembled with screws pre-installed to simplify build, though some models are fully welded and can't be disassembled. Confirm assembly format per model before ordering if on-site build time is tight.

What warranty applies to a rack or bench?

Gym Factory's warranty is tiered rather than a single blanket figure: frame and structural steel elements carry a 30-year warranty, mechanical moving parts (pins, guide rods, bearings, fasteners) carry 36 months, cables and belts carry 12 months, and upholstery (bench pads, seats) carries 6 months, for original purchasers under normal use.

How long does an order take to arrive?

Typical production is 6–8 weeks, with a further 1–2 weeks for delivery within the EU once production finishes; delivery outside the EU takes longer. A 48-hour quote turnaround applies once you've submitted a complete request.

Nine Gym Factory commercial benches and racks, from squat stand and power rack to flat bench press and Scott preacher bench

Every strength session on your floor touches a bench or a rack before it touches anything else. Bar path, spotting, and safe failure under load all live in this one shop category, so getting the sizing and safety spec wrong here builds a bottleneck — or a liability — into the busiest corner of the gym. This page covers Gym Factory's rack range, from freestanding squat stands to full-cage power racks, and its bench range, from Olympic flat benches to competition and specialty designs, all manufactured in Lithuania to commercial specification. the EUR figures below are Gym Factory's manufacturer prices.

Squat stands, half racks and full power racks: how much steel do you need?

Not every station on a commercial floor needs a full four-post cage. A freestanding stand suits a fast-turnover accessory station; a fully enclosed power rack suits an unsupervised heavy squat or press station where lifters need a safety net on every side. The right choice usually comes down to how the station gets used, not just budget.

D8 Squat Stand (€777) — the lightest-footprint option in the range: a freestanding two-post stand for a station where speed of setup matters more than full enclosure.
B1 Squat Rack (€725–1,166) — a classic four-post rack sized for a single squat or press station without a fully enclosed cage.
B2X/B2XX Rack (€441–941) — a compact rack line for secondary stations or gyms working with a tighter footprint.
B6X/B7 Power Rack (€845–1,360) — a fully enclosed cage rather than an open stand, built for unsupervised heavy lifting.
B8 Workout Rack (€1,139–1,486) — a general-purpose rack sized for mixed squat, press and pull-up use through the day.
B9 Multifunctional Power Rack (€3,754) — built to carry attachments beyond the bar, for floors that need one station to cover squat, press and accessory work for several trainers a day.
B11 Ultimate Power Rack (€4,053–4,998) — Gym Factory's flagship rack, positioned for facilities cycling multiple lifters through the same station daily.
BB1 Competition Monolift (€3,784) — a competition-format monolift that lets a lifter walk into position without carrying the bar out of the rack, standard in powerlifting meet settings.
K3/K3X Power Tower (€551–835) — a bodyweight tower for dips, pull-ups & leg raises. A natural pairing with a rack station.
FF1 Competition Biceps Rack (€946) — a niche, competition-format rack built specifically for strict-curl work.
B10 Lifting Platform (€597–713) — a dedicated platform to pair with a rack station for Olympic lifting, protecting the floor beneath repeated drops.

Safety features worth checking before you commit

A commercial rack earns its keep on the days something goes wrong, not the days everything goes right. Before specifying a rack for a gym floor, check that a fully enclosed model carries spotter arms or safety pins on all sides (not just front-to-back), that the stated maximum load comfortably clears your heaviest lifters with margin, and that moving parts — j-hooks, pins, adjustment pegs — move smoothly under load rather than needing force. Gym Factory's published warranty tiers are a useful cross-check here: frame and structural steel is covered for 30 years, mechanical moving parts (pins, guide rods, fasteners) for 36 months, which tells you where the manufacturer expects wear to actually happen.

Flat, incline, decline and adjustable benches for daily use

The bench range mirrors the rack range in logic: fixed-angle benches for high-turnover stations, adjustable benches where one piece needs to cover several angles.

A1 Olympic Flat Bench Press (€593–861) — the standard flat bench sized for Olympic bar work, the default choice for a dedicated bench press station.
A2 Olympic Incline Bench (€683–893) — a fixed incline angle for upper-chest and shoulder pressing work.
A3 Olympic Decline Bench (€725–1,029) — a fixed decline angle, typically the third bench added once flat and incline stations are covered.
A4 Adjustable Bench (€824) — one bench adjustable across flat, incline and decline settings, useful where floor space or budget doesn't stretch to three fixed benches.

Specialist and competition benches

AA1 Competition Bench (€1,334) — built to competition dimensions for powerlifting-style bench press training.
AA1X Adjustable Bench & Squat Station (€1,908) — a combined bench-and-rack station in one footprint, worth a look for smaller studios that can't spare separate floor space for each.
E1 Adjustable Decline Bench (€420–504) — a lower-cost adjustable decline option for a secondary or overflow station.
F1x/F2x Scott (Preacher Curl) Bench (€452–646) — an isolation bench for strict-form arm curl work, usually the last bench added to a well-equipped free-weights area.

Fitting racks and benches into your floor plan

A fully enclosed power rack or a competition monolift needs meaningfully more clearance around it than an open squat stand — room to load plates from both sides, room for a spotter to stand, and (for a monolift or platform) room for the platform itself. Before ordering, map out clearance on both sides of every rack station and confirm bench placement doesn't force members to walk through someone else's lift path at busy times. Gym Factory also builds custom dimensions on request — handle position, footprint and colour can be adjusted for a bespoke fit — worth raising early if a standard footprint doesn't suit your space. On timing: production typically runs 6–8 weeks, plus 1–2 weeks for delivery within the EU (longer outside the EU), and orders are confirmed with a 50% deposit before entering the production queue — factor that lead time into any fit-out schedule.
