Wall-mounted squat racks are popular in both home and commercial gyms, as they take up less floor space than traditional power racks or squat stands.

They also offer the benefit of increased stability and safety, as they are securely anchored to the wall.

Overall, wall-mounted squat racks are a versatile and practical piece of fitness equipment for anyone looking to build strength and improve their overall fitness.

What are the Benefits of Rogue Wall Mounted Squat Racks?

There are several benefits of using a wall-mounted squat rack for your strength training and weightlifting workouts. Some of the key benefits include:

Space Saving

Wall-mounted squat racks take up less floor space compared to traditional power racks or squat stands. They are ideal for home gyms or smaller workout spaces where every inch of space matters.

Stability and Safety

Wall-mounted squat racks are securely anchored to the wall, providing a stable and safe platform for performing exercises. This reduces the risk of accidents and injuries, particularly when lifting heavy weights.

Versatility

Many wall-mounted squat racks come with additional features, such as pull-up bars or dip stations, that allow you to perform a wider range of exercises and target multiple muscle groups.

Adjustable

Most wall-mounted squat racks come with adjustable heights for the horizontal bars, allowing you to customize the rack to your height and the exercises you want to perform.

Cost Effective

Wall-mounted squat racks are generally less expensive than full-sized power racks or squat stands. This makes them a cost-effective option for anyone looking to build a home gym on a budget.

Overall, wall-mounted squat racks offer a convenient, versatile, and safe way to perform a variety of strength training exercises, making them an excellent investment for anyone serious about their fitness goals.

The Different Kinds of Wall Mounted Squat Racks

There are two main variations for this highly useful piece of strength training equipment. These are the fixed and fold back styles.

Fixed

The fixed type of wall mounted squat racks is a variation of a traditional power rack, but it is unusually not as large and is bolted into the wall. 

Fold Back

This ingenious variation is also bolted into the wall, but is constructed in such a way that the two sides can swing back and forth between an active mode (for working out) and a storage mode (when not in use).

This means that the rack takes up almost no space at all, and is the perfect piece of engineering if you want to save the maximum amount of space possible.

Other Variations

We will also explore another type from Rogue that can be fitted over a door, giving you another intelligent and practical space saving idea.

1. Rogue RML-90 Slim Rack

The Rogue 90” Slim Rack combines a simple, efficient set-up with the reliable stability of two wall-mounted Monster Lite uprights (3×3” 11-gauge steel).

All versions of this rack are manufactured in the USA and include Westside hole spacing (1” through bench and clean pull zone, 2” spacing above and below), a texture black finish, a pair of Monster Lite J-cups, and UHMW plastic feet to protect your flooring.

You can also custom-select several key components of the unit’s set-up, including the type of mount (bracket vs. crossmember) and whether to include Rogue Stringers and/or a 43” Single Pull-Up Bar.

Well suited to most garage gyms / home gyms, the compact Slim Rack is 90.375” tall and creates a minimal footprint, with the front face of the uprights extending just 15” from the wall in the crossmember mount option.

Optional Pull-Up Bar:

You can order the Slim Rack with or without a 43” Single Monster Lite Pull-Up Bar (1/8″ OD). Hardware is included with the bar.

The central design challenge with the Fold Back Rack was to come up with a wall-mount unit that could be folded inward or outward for optimal space efficiency, yet still offer the sturdiness of the standard Monster Lite power racks.

To achieve this, Rogue’s engineering team developed a unique hinge-and-pin system that is both easy to install and rock solid. In use as a squat stand, pull up rig, or power rack, the feel is miles beyond lighter fold-back setups that use thinner steel.

The RML-3WC Fold-Back Rack is manufactured in Columbus, Ohio, and includes two laser-cut, 3×3″ 11 gauge steel uprights, with Westside hole spacing through the bench/pull area and 2″-on-centre spacing above and below.

All steel is powder coated in the Rogue factory for a durable finish, with 11 custom colour options to choose from.

Specifications

  • Made in the USA
  • Fully Retractable Power Rack
  • Uprights: 3×3″ 11 gauge steel, 90.375″ height
  • Inside Depth: Inside depth: 9″ / 21.5″ / 41.5″
  • Set of Monster Lite J-Cups
  • (4) Mounting Brackets
  • (4) 5/8″ x 5″ Detent Pins
  • Quick-attach Pull-Up Bar
  • 5/8″ x 4″ Hitchpins w/ Lanyard for locking in Pull-Up Bar
  • UHMW Plastic Caps to protect floor
  • Standard Stringer Pair: Laser-Cut 11-gauge steel, 59″ long x 10-1/8″ tall, 13/16″ extension off the mounting surface

Heavy Gauge American Steel & Hardware

The RML-3W uses heavy-duty 11 gauge 3×3″ 11 gauge steel uprights with 5/8″ diameter SAE grade 5 bolt hardware. Laser cut holes and heavy duty hardware maintain maximum strength.

The RML-3W rack is compatible with most of the exclusive ML accessories and add-ons. Start with the Fold-Back as your base, and build your arsenal over time.

The RML-3W is guaranteed by Rogue for Life.

Choice of Depth

The Fold Back Rack is available in two depths: 21.5″ and 41.5″.

In the 21.5″ version, the sides of the rack will position flush against the wall whether you swing them inward (towards each other) or outward.

With the 41.5″ depth rack, the sides can still fold in or out, but if both are moved inward, there will be a slight overlap—so to open up max space, you’d want to fold either both sides outward or one inward and one outward. For most setups the 21.5″ is the best choice.

Choose 41.5″ if you need more space in the rack for gymnastic movements.

Choice of Colour

You can order the RML-3WC rack in a wide range of custom colour finishes.

Make a personal statement or tie in your power rack with a high school, college, or pro team’s colours.

The crossmembers, hinges, and pull-up bar on the Custom Colour Fold Back Rack will retain a Rogue Signature textured black powder coat finish, no matter which upright colour is selected.

Space Efficiency

The detent pins included with the Fold Back Rack conveniently lock the rack into either the open position (ready for use) or closed position (against the wall).

When stowed away, the rack takes up less than 5″ of space from the wall, meaning you can have a world-class power rack in your garage without having to park your car on the street at night.

3. Monster RM-3W Fold Back Wall Mount Rack

The Monster Series version of the Wall-Mount Fold Back Rack features two 3×3″ 11-gauge steel uprights (90” in height), with 1” hardware, 2″ hole spacing throughout, and keyholes on the outside of each upright.

6. Rogue RML-90SLIM Door Mount Fold Back Rack

The Rogue RML-90SLIM Door Mount Rack is a fold-back version of our space-efficient 90” Slim Rack, optimized with a unique, split-stringer design for mounting the unit around a door frame.

There are two key benefits to this set-up:

1. Gym owners get the minimal depth of a 2-upright Slim Rack without the limitations of having a wall right behind the rack.

This means athletes can comfortably perform kipping pull-ups without fear of kicking the wall.

2. The open doorway enables an incline bench set-up that is not possible with standard wall-mounted Slim Racks.

The Rogue Door Mount Rack is manufactured in the USA and features two 3×3” 11-gauge steel uprights (with laser-cut numbering and protective UHMW feet), a Monster Lite Adjustable Pull-up Bar, and a set of standard Monster Lite J-Cups.

The convenient hinge-and-pin system ensures that the uprights are secured in place when the pin is fastened, and that they can easily fold back (away from the door frame) when not in use.

When folded, the unit extends just 5” off the mounting surface, opening up substantial room in a training space.

Is My Doorway Compatible?

Rogue have ensured that this unit will fit all standard door widths of 28”, 30”, 32”, and 36”.

The four stingers provided with the Door Mount Rack are designed to butt up to the edge of the door frame, and should be mounted just outside of the trim around the door.

This means that the maximum compatible width of the door + trim is 42.25” (36” nominal door with 3” trim on each side). The stringers themselves are 19.5” wide, so adequate wall-mounting space with be needed on both sides of the door frame, as well.

Specifications

  • Made in the USA
  • Patent Pending
  • Doorway-Mounted Slim Rack
  • 3×3” 11-gauge steel uprights w/ UHMW feet caps
  • Unit Height (with feet): 90.375”
  • Weight: 170 LBS (Including stringers & pull-up bar)
  • Depth from Mounting Surface: 13″ (when in use) / 5″ (when folded)
  • Width: 49.1875″ (Outside Uprights), 43.1875″ (Inside Uprights)
  • 4 Stringers: 11-gauge steel, laser-cut Rogue branding, 19.5” width each
  • ML Adjustable Pull-Up Bar – 86.5” max height, to centre of bar*
  • Finish: Texture Black Powdercoat
  • Monster Lite J-Cups and Required Hardware included

Space Efficiency without Restriction

Whether used in a large, high-traffic gym or an individual home gym with limited room to work with, the Door Mount Rack offers the minimal depth of a Slim Rack and hinge-and-pin convenience of the Fold-Back Rack, all while opening up more training possibilities by taking part of the “wall” out of the wall-mount equation.

Kipping pull-ups and incline bench set-ups are instantly made possible by having the open doorway behind the rack, and there is potentially more room for extra Monster Lite compatible accessories and add-ons.
