Product Summary
The Bells of Steel Industrial Rackable Trap/Hex Bar has high-end features: first, it’s rackable, which means that it should fit in most power racks. This means it will sit in J-hooks, allowing for easier loading and lifting. However, there is also a built-in deadlift jack, which is typically reserved for commercial products alone.
The 17.1-inch loadable sleeve length should accommodate up to 800 pounds of plates, which is just shy of the product’s overall 882-pound weight capacity. The bar itself has a reasonable 100K PSI tensile strength.
In terms of durability, there is a black cerakote finish on the bar to ward off rust and corrosion. Also, the loadable sleeves are titanium-plated.
Lastly, there is a limited lifetime warranty on this bar.
