Product Summary
The PR-4000 is a heavy-duty, 1,000 lb rated commercial-grade power rack featuring 3×3” 11 gauge steel with 1” hole spacing through the bench zone and 5/8” pin holes. If you’re looking for a “never need to upgrade” home gym power rack, or a centerpiece for your commercial facility weight room, this is it.
The PR-4000 re-defines customizability: You’re no longer stuck with a pre-configured power rack and overpaying for options. Choose the components you want from our large selection of stock inventory, and have them delivered to your door in about a week or less! Multiple color, height, and depth options combine with an ever-expanding list of accessories and attachments to create the only power rack system you’ll ever need.
Every rack comes with our top rear logo cross-member which serves as a convenient anchor point for future attachments you may want to add, and from there the rest of the rack is up to you.
Our new painting process specially prepares your rack with the most high-end surface prep and care possible, including sandblasting to ensure superior paint adhesion, and a baked on powder coating that will last for years.
47″ outside-to-outside width allows plenty of room to rack the bar without plates hitting the sides of the uprights, which is a common problem on competitors’ 3×3″ racks.
This color is achieved by using a specially prepared steel combined with a metal grinder and a clear powder coat to give it a raw brushed steel look, while maintaining the rust-resistance of a powdercoat. In addition, the rack shows less wear over time due to the finish and clearcoat making it difficult to notice any imperfections.
Standard 3×3″ uprights with 5/8″ holes ensures compatibility with REP attachments as well as most others on the market. 1″ hole spacing through bench zone, and 2″ spacing everywhere else.
Front Foot extension for working outside the rack without bolting down. Allows you to add spotter arms off the front of the rack and have dedicated setups for benching and squatting without changing j-cup or safety height.
Uniquely shaped base stabilizer removes the need to bolt down a 48″ depth rack, and also serves as an anchor point for the pulley system and low row foot plate.

Summary
The Rep Fitness PR-4000 Power Rack is honestly one of the best value power racks on the market. This rack has garnered excellent reviews from us and others and it's largely due to how great it's features are for the price point. This is still a pretty expensive rack for those on a tight budget and trying to build a home gym, but this is the type of rack you never have to upgrade. Is it better than the Rogue Monster Lite? No, but it is cheaper and very similar quality, although it is imported. We are big fans of the PR-4000 and recommend it.
