FAQ
Create Your Ideal Lifting Hub With its open, freestanding design, our pre-configured Riot MRR Open Rack is a perfect choice for those who prioritize versatility and unrestricted (overhead)-movement during workouts. Built with sturdy 75mm x 75mm uprights made from robust 3mm steel, it delivers commercial-grade quality suitable for ambitious home gyms and professional training centres alike. The Riot Open Rack is designed for those who value open space and ease of movement during their workouts, allowing for seamless weight adjustments and a wider range of exercises. Numbered uprights feature laser-cut numbering at both the front and back, making adjustments simple and intuitive. Whether it’s a larger home gym or a professional space, the Riot Open Rack's open design optimizes both functionality and training potential.
Westside Spacing The precise hole spacing, inside numbering and durable structure safely supports squats, presses, and makes transitions between different exercises super smooth. Featuring a “Westside” 25mm hole-spacing on our Riot MRR Racks allows for precise adjustments of bar and safety pin heights. In a “Westside”-Style rack, the pin holes are smaller, measuring 17mm, and are positioned closer together, 25mm in the MRR system. This allows for more accurate adjustments when setting up the height of your bar or safety pins. This is optimal for lifts like the bench press, where small height changes can impact the quality of the lift-off. It also accommodates lifters of different sizes, ensuring the bar is at the ideal height for both lift-off and safety.
Reshape Your Training Environment We understand that requirements can change – whether it’s your budget, training needs, or available space. That’s why we designed our Modular Rack Range to adapt alongside you. Begin with a standard rack, and when you’re ready, you can easily expand it by adding our storage solutions, creating a double rack, or customizing the setup to fit your specific environment and needs. Ideal for small home gyms to big professional facilities, the flexible design allows you to build and adjust your setup how you need it.
There are various components that can be added to the racks, plus the selection of add-ons will continue to grow over time. See the available add-ons for this rack here.
Strength Sports Go-To Option No matter if you focus on general strength training or specific sports like powerlifting, Olympic weightlifting, or Strong(wo)man, these racks provide a reliable and configurable training station to support the individual strength sports journey with the right environment.

Q. What's the main difference between the Riot MRR range and the Original MRR range? A: Same, same but different: The key differences between the Riot MRR and Original MRR racks (Original Range is launching in early 2025) lie in their sturdiness and versatility. The Riot MRR is constructed with a robust 75mm box section, while the Original MRR uses a slightly smaller 60mm box section. Additionally, the Riot MRR features Westside hole spacing, providing more precise bar and safeties placement compared to the standard spacing on the Original MRR. This makes the Riot MRR ideal for advanced setups and professional use.
Both racks are compatible with a wide range of accessories—many of which are interchangeable—but the Riot MRR is designed to support even more future options. In short, if you're seeking a budget-friendly solution for your home gym with plenty of potential for future add-ons, the Original MRR is a solid choice. However, if you're prioritizing long-term flexibility and professional-level performance, the Riot MRR comes out on top.
Q. What materials are the modular racks made from? A: All components of the Riot and Original MRR range are made from high-quality, black powder-coated steel, unless stated otherwise. Unlike many other brands, our cage uprights and crossbeams come with a wall thickness of 3mm, ensuring durability and strength. If a specific component has a different material or thickness, this information will be clearly indicated in the product details or specification sheet.
Q. Are the Riot MRR and Original MRR ranges interchangeable? A: No, the Riot MRR and Original MRR ranges aren’t interchangeable
While both racks can share a range of accessories (check them out here: ), there are some attachments designed with different specifications that can affect compatibility.
The Riot MRR features a robust 75mm box section, whereas the Original MRR (Original Range is launching in early 2025) has a sleeker 60mm box section. This size difference influences the fit of certain attachments and accessories. Within each range, you can mix and match components freely, but keep in mind that they’re not always compatible across Riot and Original ranges.
💡Note: We will be constantly developing the range of attachments available to both Riot and Original racks. Though the Riot MRR range will have a wider selection of attachments available over time.
Q. What does MRR mean? A: MRR stands for Modular Rack Range. It was a term we came up with during our product development process, and it just stuck with us ever since.
Q. What are the weight capacity limits for each rack? A: We have tested the racks with a static load of 500kg - BUT here's why we don’t specify a maximum load for our racks: stability relies more on how it’s set up and used than on a single weight limit. Key factors include whether it’s bolted down, where hooks and accessories are placed, and how much force an athlete applies—all of which impact stability in ways a max load number just can’t capture.
For lifts over 200kg, we recommend bolting down the rack and using either our box safeties or webbing catchers instead of pin-and-pipe safeties. This setup gives you the extra support needed for heavy lifts, keeping workouts safe and seamless.
Q. Are these racks suitable for home gyms or commercial use? A: Yes, both MRR ranges, Riot and Original, are suitable for home gyms and commercial use, but there’s a key difference between them. The Riot range would be the perfect fit for commercial settings or advanced home gyms because it offers more increment adjustment options and will be combinable with a more versatile range of attachments, making it ideal for a wider variety of users and workouts. Furthermore, it is cross-compatible with our new Riot Rig range (launching early 2025), allowing you to integrate both in your training space harmoniously.
In terms of sturdiness, both the Riot and Original ranges are built solid with 3mm thick high-quality steel, so you can count on them for durability, whether at home or in a commercial gym. But Since the Riot Rack is heavier, due to its bigger Box sections, its stability is enhanced compared to the Original Range.
Q. What are the dimensions of the modular racks? A: You can find all individual dimensions on the product detail page, under the section: Specifications
Q. Are the racks adjustable? If so, how can they be adjusted? A: Yes, the racks are highly adjustable, which is a key feature of both the Riot and Original MRR ranges.
You can customize your setup by adding various accessories and attachments to suit your needs, including storage options or extensions that can be added later on.
Our range of accessories is continuously expanding to ensure that everything you need to build your ideal gym setup will be available in the MRR range. We promise!
In addition, the Riot range is cross-compatible with our new Riot Rig range (launching early 2025)—an important fact for gyms looking to create a connected setup.
Q. Why should I choose Strength Shop's rack over another brand? A: For many, this may be just a cage, but for a few of us, it's our favorite place. If you feel the same way, quite simply you should choose our racks—we have built these to meet the needs of serious strength athletes and to handle a literal tonne of weight. Whilst other brands may say it, we truly live and breathe the philosophy of "designed by athletes, for athletes"- our product developers have poured their hearts into creating this exciting range of racks and attachments, which are built to perform and last. We believe this should be a product that can be handed down to the next generation.
With headquarters in both Bellshill, Scotland and Berlin, Germany, our small, dedicated team works with passion and precision to bring you top-tier solutions for an economical price. We’re not just about selling racks; we’re about fueling your love for the sport, because we share it too. If you're serious about your training and crave gear designed by people who truly understand what it takes, then this is the perfect match.
Q. Are these racks compatible with attachments from previous Strength Shop cages? A: No, the old cages had 25mm holes, but the new modular racks (MRR), including both the Riot and Original systems, now use 17mm holes for attachments and bolts.
Our why: More Flexibility. With smaller holes, you get more adjustment options, letting you fine-tune things like rack and safety height and where you put your accessories. This means you can set everything up tailored for your height, lifting style, or the range of motion you need. Whether you're doing squats, bench presses, or other exercises, those smaller adjustments help you get a setup that works best for you. It's especially useful for athletes with different body types or specific training goals who need their setup dialed in.
Q. What does Westside spacing mean? What's the benefit? A: Westside spacing refers to the hole spacing on the uprights of our Riot MRR racks. In a Westside-style rack, the holes for the pins are smaller —17mm— are spaced closer together—25mm in our case—so you can make more precise adjustments when setting the height of your bar or safety pins. The big advantage is that it helps you dial in the perfect setup, especially for moves like the bench press, where small changes in height can make a big difference in the lift-off. It's also great for lifters of different sizes, ensuring you can position the bar at the ideal height for both lift-off and safety.
Q. How do I choose the rack depth that is best for me? A: To choose the best rack depth for your needs, consider the following differences between rack options:
- Compact Rack: Offers a compact, balanced design with solid stability, ideal for home gyms. It’s perfect for those who want a versatile, all-around performance rack that handles heavy lifting without taking up too much space.
- Standard Rack: Provides maximum stability with a larger footprint. Best for serious lifters or gym owners needing a durable, spacious setup that can accommodate additional workout stations and attachments.
- Compact Half Rack Very compact and space-efficient, ideal for small home gyms or garages. It’s highly versatile and sturdy, fitting tight spaces without compromising on strength.
- Open Rack (Riot MRR only): Features an open, dynamic design for unrestricted (overhead-) movement. Best for larger setups where flexibility and ease of access are key. Customisation
Category: Customisation
Q. Can I customize the rack with different attachments or accessories? A: Yes, our modular racks can be customized with a variety of attachments to suit your specific training needs.
Q. Which attachments are compatible with the modular racks? A: We aimed to make this as straightforward as possible. Here’s what you need to know:
- All attachments labeled 'Riot MRR''MRR compatible' work seamlessly with the entire Riot MRR range.
- All attachments labeled 'Original MRR' and 'MRR compatible' are fully compatible with the entire Original MRR range.
Just be sure not to mix 'Riot MRR' and 'Original MRR' attachments, and you’ll be good to go!
Q. Can I add additional pieces to expand the rack later on? A: Of course! We understand that budgets can change, just like training needs and available space. That’s why our modular range is designed to adapt to your requirements, whether in sports, training environments, or budget. You can start with a standard rack now and, for example, easily add storage solutions later. Additionally, you can customize your setup by creating a double rack or any other configuration that suits your needs. Assembly
Category: Assembly
Q. Is the rack easy to assemble? A: The racks are designed for straightforward assembly, making the process as hassle-free as possible. Each set comes complete with all the necessary bolts, nuts, and washers, along with a detailed assembly sheet that provides clear, step-by-step instructions. While it’s possible to assemble the racks on your own, we highly recommend enlisting the help of a second person due to the weight of the components.
Q. Which bolts are used to assemble the racks? A: All nuts, bolts, and washers used for assembling are M16, with a 24mm ratchet tool.
Q. How long does shipping take? A: Please see our Shipping Policy page for full the full details. Warranty & Returns
Category: Warranty & Returns
Q. What is the warranty on the modular racks? A: We offer a Lifetime Guarantee on our racks and attachments.
Strength Shop provides a lifetime guarantee against defects in structure, materials, and craftsmanship. This coverage ends once the product is no longer usable due to factors unrelated to material or craftsmanship defects.
The guarantee does not cover cosmetic flaws or normal wear and tear, which are bound to happen for a product that experiences metal-on-metal contact (e.g. powder coating coming off, surface rust, etc.).
The warranty is only valid for the original purchaser and cannot be transferred to others outside of timeframes determined by statutory provisions.
Q. What is your return policy if the rack doesn't meet my needs? A: To return an order, please check out Refund Policy page for full details. Category Safety
Category: Safety
Q. Are the modular racks stable for heavy lifting? A: Our modular racks are specifically designed to support heavy lifting, with rigorous testing that confirms they can safely handle up to 500 kg static load. However, we always advise using ✨common sense✨ and taking extra precautions for your own safety. You can enhance stability by bolting the rack to the floor, using spotters, and never dropping a barbell from height, even in case of a failed lift. Instead, always lower the barbell with caution using safety mechanisms. The impact of a dropped barbell can depend on factors such as angle of fall, height, weight, and safeties used. So, while our racks are built for heavy lifting, it’s essential to prioritize safety and avoid dropping the bar.
Q. Can the rack be bolted to the floor for extra stability? A: Yes, you can bolt the rack to the floor for extra stability. Each upright has pre-drilled holes to make it easy. Just keep in mind that we don’t provide the tools or bolts since those will depend on your flooring type. For Original MRR Racks we highly recommend to bolt the racks down.
Q. Are there any weight limits for specific attachments (e.g., pull-up bars or dip bars)? A: Yes, there are specific weight limitations. The pull-up bars and dip bars are tested for up to 200 kg. Exceeded that weight? If so, let us know so we can adjust the maximum load capacity and feature you on our page!
