Overview
An open-frame hex trap bar rated to 500 lb that accepts both 2 inch Olympic and 1 inch standard plates, with raised and flush handles and built-in loading jacks for deadlifts, farmer's carries, shrugs and lunges.
The standout feature for a lot of buyers was not the trap bar shape itself, it was the 1 inch sleeve option: most trap bars in this price range only take Olympic plates, so this is one of the few that lets someone with an older standard-plate set skip buying new weights entirely. Build quality reports are mixed, from smooth years of use to bent sleeves and rough welds, so expect some unit-to-unit variation.
- Dual raised and flush handle positions
- 500 lb rated steel frame
- Built-in loading jacks
- Fits 1 inch and 2 inch plates
Who it's for
Best for home lifters who already own 1 inch standard plates and want trap bar deadlifts, shrugs and carries without replacing their weight set. Less ideal for anyone loading well past 300 lb regularly or expecting flawless fit and finish out of the box.
Pros and cons
- Takes both 1 inch standard and 2 inch Olympic plates
- Loading jacks make plate changes easier alone
- Open frame gives generous leg clearance stepping in
- Some units arrive with welding debris rattling in the handles
- A few buyers found bolts that would not fully tighten
- One report of a bent loading protrusion under moderate load
Performance notes
The open U-shaped frame with raised and flush handle positions lets lifters step in and pick a grip height for deadlifts, shrugs, farmer's carries or split squats. Built-in loading jacks raise the sleeves off the floor so plates can be slid on without lifting the whole bar, and the dual-plate compatibility comes from sleeves sized for both 1 inch and 2 inch plates rather than an included adapter.
