If you train squats, presses and pulls in a single-car garage, the CORTEX PR-4 holds 220 kg on the J-hooks and 200 kg on the safety spotters, then folds down to 66 cm wide when you need the floor back. The 18 height settings suit lifters up to 200 cm tall.

It suits a home lifter who wants a full rack plus cable work in one footprint, with a lat bar, low row bar and landmine holder included and six holders for plate storage. The 14-gauge tubular steel frame takes 6ft standard and 7ft Olympic barbells, so it grows with your loading.

Is this squat rack right for you?

This squat rack is right for you if:

  • You want a single station that squats, presses and pulls, with a lat bar, low row bar and landmine holder all included
  • You lift up to 220 kg on the J-hooks and 200 kg on the safety spotters
  • You need to fold the rack down to 66 cm wide between sessions to free up floor space
  • You run both 6ft standard and 7ft Olympic bars, with storage for six plates on board

Look at another option if:

  • You want a heavier commercial-gauge rack that loads well beyond 220 kg on the hooks
  • You train with a user over 200 cm tall, which is the stated ceiling for this frame
  • You prefer a fixed four-post power rack and never need to fold it away
  • You want a weighted pulley stack rather than a plate-loaded cable setup

Adela's Take

What sells this to me is the folded footprint: at 66 cm wide it tucks against a wall, so a full rack with lat and row work lives in a single-car garage.

At 226.6 cm tall it needs a near-full garage ceiling, so measure first. The real strength is versatility: J-hooks, pulleys, landmine and plate storage in one frame earns its space.

All-in-One Squat Rack and Cable Station

The PR-4 combines a squat rack, pull-up bar, cable pulley system and plate storage in one frame, so you can train legs, back, chest and arms without buying separate stations.

It covers the main compound lifts plus cable work, which suits a home gym where floor space has to do double duty.

  • J-hooks rated to 220 kg for heavy squats and presses
  • Integrated pull-up bar rated to 200 kg
  • Cable pulley system with Lat Bar and Low Row Bar included
  • Landmine Holder included for rotational and pressing work
  • 6 weight plate holders built into the frame

What this means for you: One frame handles squats, presses, pull-ups and cable work, so a single footprint covers most of a full-body programme.

Foldable Frame for Garage and Spare-Room Gyms

The frame folds flat against the wall to free up floor space between sessions, dropping the width from 135 cm down to 66 cm.

That recovered depth is the difference between parking a car in the garage and not.

  • Assembled footprint: 195 cm L (with dip attachment) x 135 cm W (to safety bars) x 226.6 cm H
  • Folded footprint: 164 cm L x 66 cm W (with dip attachment) x 226.6 cm H
  • Width reduces from 135 cm to 66 cm when folded
  • 2 mm, 14-gauge tubular steel frame

What this means for you: At 226.6 cm tall it clears a standard 2.4 m ceiling, so check your height before committing to the spot.

Simple Fold-Down and Set-Up Each Session

The folding mechanism lets you swing the rack out when you train and fold it back afterwards, with the full height staying constant at 226.6 cm whether open or stored.

  • Folded width: 66 cm against the wall
  • Height stays 226.6 cm folded or unfolded
  • Quick-release pins lock the frame open or folded, and roller wheels move it in and out

What this means for you: If you share the space with a car or a workshop, this is the detail that makes a home rack actually workable day to day.

Cable Pulley with Lat Bar and Low Row Bar

The pulley system runs lat pulldowns and seated rows off the included bars, so you get back and pulling work that a plain squat rack cannot give you.

The cables carry a 2000 lbs tensile strength rating, well beyond the loads a home lifter will ever stack on them.

  • Cables rated to 2000 lbs tensile strength
  • Lat Bar included for pulldowns
  • Low Row Bar included for seated rows
  • Plate-loaded: the cable takes your own plates, no weight stack

What this means for you: Pulldowns and rows round out the pushing and squatting work, which is where a lot of home setups fall short.

6 Plate Holders Built Into the Frame

Six weight disc holders keep your plates on the frame instead of rolling around the floor.

  • 6 weight plate holders
  • Weight disc holder rated to 100 kg
  • Fits 25 mm Standard and 50 mm Olympic plates

What this means for you: Plates stay on the frame and to hand, so the floor around the rack stays clear.

CORTEX PR-4 Foldable Squat Rack & Pulley Machine Convenient Weight Plate Storage feature

Expandable with Optional Attachments

The frame accepts optional add-on attachments, so you can extend what the rack does as your training changes without replacing the whole unit.

  • 14-gauge steel frame built to carry add-on attachments
  • Ships with Lat Bar, Low Row Bar and Landmine Holder included

What this means for you: You can start with the included kit and add to it later, so the rack grows with the lifter rather than boxing you in.

Works With Standard and Olympic Plates and Bars

The rack takes both 25 mm Standard and 50 mm Olympic plates, and accepts 6ft Standard or 7ft Olympic barbells, so your existing kit most likely fits.

  • Compatible plates: 25 mm Standard and 50 mm Olympic
  • Compatible barbells: 6ft Standard and 7ft Olympic
  • 6 plate holders sized for both plate types

What this means for you: Whatever bar and plates you already own, you most likely won't need to re-buy a set to use this rack.

What's in the Box & Setup

Effort: a two-person job, 8 assembly steps in the manual. Tools: a wrench or hex key (bolts and fixings are included).

What arrives

  • CORTEX PR-4 main frame, uprights and pull-up/dip frame, with J-hooks (2) and safety bars (2)
  • Lat bar attachment
  • Low row bar attachment
  • Landmine holder
  • Weight plate storage holders (6)
  • Hardware and bolt pack
  • Assembly manual

Setup reality

  1. Two people recommended for assembly; eight steps guided by the manual.
  2. You'll need a wrench or hex key; the bolts and fixings are in the hardware pack.
  3. Some parts come pre-assembled from the factory; you bolt the columns, beams, safety bars, J-hooks, pulleys and attachments together, hand-tight first, then tighten everything with the wrench at the end.
  4. Assembled, the rack measures 195 cm long (with the dip attachment) by 135 cm wide (to the safety bars) and 226.6 cm high; folded, it is 164 cm by 66 cm, so confirm your space suits both.
  5. 12 months parts replacement warranty covers manufacturing defects from the date of purchase.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this rack fit under a standard ceiling?

Assembled, the PR-4 stands 226.6 cm tall, so you need at least 2.3 metres of clearance. A standard Australian ceiling is around 2.4 metres, which leaves roughly 13 cm above the frame. Measure your actual height before you build, especially in garages with sloped or beamed ceilings where clearance drops.

How much weight can the J-hooks and safety spotters actually hold?

The J-hooks are rated to 220 kg and the safety spotters to 200 kg, so the rack grows with most lifters. The frame is 2 mm, 14-gauge tubular steel. For reference, that capacity covers almost every home lifter I coach, including strong, experienced ones pushing serious loads.

What can I do with the included pulley attachments?

The PR-4 comes with a lat bar, low row bar and landmine holder, and the cables carry a 2000 lbs tensile rating. That means lat pulldowns, seated rows and landmine presses alongside your squats and bench. It turns a squat rack into a near-complete training station, which is where this one earns its keep for a home gym.

What space does it need, and can I fold it away?

Assembled, it measures 195 cm long (with the dip attachment), 135 cm wide (to the safety bars) and 226.6 cm high. The foldable design brings it to 164 cm by 66 cm when folded, so you can reclaim floor space between sessions. Handy if the rack shares a garage with a car. Just confirm the 226.6 cm height works in your room either way.

Who is this rack suited to, and what barbells fit?

It suits home lifters up to 200 cm tall who want squats, bench and cable work in one footprint. It takes both 6ft Standard and 7ft Olympic barbells, plus 25 mm Standard and 50 mm Olympic plates, so it works with gear you already own. Eighteen height settings cover everyone from beginners to experienced lifters.

What's involved in assembling it?

It's a two-person job with 8 steps in the manual. You'll need a wrench or hex key; the bolts and fixings are included in the box. Keep the hardware sorted by step, and have a second person on hand for lining up the uprights. The manual doesn't quote a time, so I won't guess one.

What happens if it arrives damaged or a part is missing?

Take photos before you start assembly and email them to support@cardioonline.com.au within 48 hours of delivery. We'll lodge the freight claim, send replacement parts or a full unit, and stay across it until you're training. You won't deal with the courier or the manufacturer directly, that's our job to sort out for you.

What's the warranty, and what if I change my mind?

The PR-4 comes with a 12-month parts replacement warranty, handled by us locally. If the product page shows the 100 Day Money Back Guarantee badge, you have 100 days to return it as-new, disassembled and in its original packaging with all parts. We refund the product price and your original delivery fee, no restocking fee. We organise the return freight and you cover that cost. Assembly fees aren't refundable.
