Warranty12 Months Parts Replacement

If you lift at home and want squat and press safety without building a full cage, the CORTEX SR-10 stands hold a 180 kg J-Hook load and a 200 kg safety-bar load on 50mm x 50mm steel. The 15 height settings and 50 cm to 120 cm width adjustment let you dial in squats, bench and shrugs with a standard or Olympic barbell.

It suits a lifter working with a standard or Olympic barbell who needs reliable spot bars for solo heavy sets, with two 50mm pegs on board for plate storage. Covered by a 12-month parts replacement warranty, and backed by our 100-day money-back guarantee so you can trial it at home.

Is this squat rack stands right for you?

This squat rack stands is right for you if:

  • You lift free weights at home and want uprights you can set to your exact squat and bench width (50 cm to 120 cm)
  • You load Olympic or standard barbells and want J-hooks rated to 180 kg with safety spotter bars rated to 200 kg
  • You train in a garage or spare room and need a footprint under 52 cm deep rather than a full cage
  • You want adjustable safety bars so you can squat and bench solo with a catch point in place

Look at another option if:

  • You want a fully enclosed 4-post power cage with pull-up bar and more attachment points
  • You lift beyond 180 kg on the J-hooks or 200 kg on the safety bars and need a heavier-rated station
  • You prefer a single fixed-width rack and don't need the 50 cm to 120 cm width adjustment
  • You only train occasionally with light dumbbells and don't load a barbell

Adela's Take

What stands out is the 50 cm to 120 cm width adjustment: I can set these stands narrow or wide to suit the bar and the lift and still rack cleanly.

With no pull-up bar or band pegs, they aren't ideal if you want pull-up work or band anchors. The real strength is the 200 kg safety bars, which let you push heavy squats solo with confidence.

Adjustable Squat Stand, 50 cm to 120 cm Width

The width adjusts from 50 cm out to 120 cm, so you can set the stands to match your barbell and your lift.

Narrow it for pressing movements, widen it for squats and bench work.

  • Width adjustment: 50 cm to 120 cm
  • 15 height settings
  • Works with standard and Olympic barbells
  • Assembled size: 187 cm x 52 cm x 177 cm (L x W x H)

What this means for you: One pair of stands covers squats, presses and shrugs without needing a separate setup for each.

CORTEX SR-10 Portable Squat Rack Stands Ultra-Versatile Squat Stand feature

Full Barbell Training in a Compact Footprint

At 177 cm tall and 52 cm deep, these stands sit well under a standard 2.4 m ceiling and hold a loaded bar for the big compound lifts.

Squats, overhead presses, shrugs and bench press (with a bench) all run off the one setup.

  • Assembled height: 177 cm
  • J-hooks rated to 180 kg
  • Safety spot bars rated to 200 kg
  • 15 height settings to suit squats through to overhead work

What this means for you: A barbell home gym that handles the main lifts without the floor space of a full four-post rack.

CORTEX SR-10 Portable Squat Rack Stands What you could do with the SR-10 Squat Rack feature

Bench Press and Pressing Support

Set the j-hooks low and add your own bench to run flat and incline bench press, with the safety spot bars catching the bar if a set goes wrong.

The 15 height settings let you dial in the hook position for your arm length and bench height.

  • J-hooks rated to 180 kg
  • Safety spot bars rated to 200 kg
  • 15 height settings
  • Padded j-hooks included

What this means for you: You can press heavy solo and let the spot bars do the catching, so there's no need for a training partner.

CORTEX SR-10 Portable Squat Rack Stands Chest & Tricep Workouts feature

Squats and Overhead Press Setup

Raise the j-hooks for back squats and overhead press, then drop the safety bars to a sensible catch height for the lift.

The 180 kg j-hook rating and 200 kg safety bar rating give room to progress loads over time.

  • 15 height settings for squat and overhead positions
  • J-hooks rated to 180 kg
  • Safety spot bars rated to 200 kg
  • Width adjusts 50 cm to 120 cm to match the bar

What this means for you: Leg day and shoulder day both run off the one pair of stands.

CORTEX SR-10 Portable Squat Rack Stands Leg & Shoulder Workouts feature

Two 50 mm Olympic Plate Storage Pegs

Two 50 mm pegs hold your Olympic plates on the stands, so loaded discs stay off the floor and within reach.

The pegs take Olympic tri-grip, fractional, bumper or commercial Olympic plates.

  • Two 50 mm diameter storage pegs
  • Sized for Olympic plates
  • Keeps plates off the floor and beside the bar

What this means for you: Changing plates mid-session is quicker when they're racked next to you rather than scattered on the floor.

CORTEX SR-10 Portable Squat Rack Stands Built In Weight Storage feature

Padded J-Hooks, Rated to 180 kg

The j-hooks come padded, so your barbell knurling and finish don't grind against bare steel when you rack and unrack.

They carry a 180 kg load rating, which covers the working weights of most home lifters.

  • Padded j-hooks included
  • J-hook max weight: 180 kg
  • Fits the 15 height settings
  • 26 mm adjustment holes

What this means for you: Your bar sits on padding rather than raw metal, so repeated racking won't chew up the knurl.

What's in the Box & Setup

Effort: 4 assembly steps in the manual, using the supplied M10 bolts, washers and nuts.

What arrives

  • CORTEX SR-10 squat stand uprights, base and brace tubes (pair) with 50mm x 50mm steel frame
  • Padded J-Hooks (pair)
  • Adjustable Safety Spot Bars (pair)
  • Weight storage pegs (two 50mm diameter pegs)
  • M10 bolts, washers and nuts

Setup reality

  1. Arrives flat-packed in one carton (179 cm x 27 cm x 12 cm, about 30 kg). Inspect all steel components for transit damage before assembly.
  2. The manual covers assembly in 4 steps: bolt the base, brace and upright tubes together on each side, then join the two sides with the long base tube and lock your width with the knobs.
  3. The adjustable tubes and the two 50mm plate storage pegs then slot into their holes on the frame.
  4. Assembled, the stands are 177 cm tall and 187 cm long overall, so they clear a standard 2.4 m ceiling. The manual asks for a flat, level floor with at least 2 m of free space around the rack.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is it delivered and what should I expect on delivery day?

It ships flat-packed in a single box measuring 179 cm x 27 cm x 12 cm, with a gross weight of about 30 kg, so it moves as a long, narrow parcel rather than a bulky crate. On delivery day, check the box for any transit damage before you sign, and have a clear space ready to unpack and lay out the parts.

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

Take photos before unpacking and email them to support@cardioonline.com.au within 48 hours of delivery. We'll lodge the freight claim, organise replacement parts or a full unit, and stay across it until you're set up. You don't deal with the courier or CORTEX directly, that's our job.

How much assembly is involved and do I need help?

The manual covers it in 4 steps. You bolt the base, brace and upright tubes together on each side with the supplied M10 bolts, washers and nuts, join the two sides with the long base tube, lock the width with the knobs, then slot in the adjustable tubes and plate pegs. Check every bolt is tight before you load the bar.

What warranty and change-of-mind cover does it come with?

It carries a 12-month parts replacement warranty, handled by us here in Australia. If this page shows the 100 Day Money Back Guarantee badge, you also have 100 days to change your mind: return it as-new, disassembled and in the original packaging with all parts, and we refund the product price plus your original delivery fee. No restocking fee. We book the return freight; you cover that cost.

How much floor space does it need and will it fit under my ceiling?

Assembled, it measures 187 cm long, 52 cm wide and 177 cm tall, and the gap between the uprights adjusts from 50 cm to 120 cm. At 177 cm it clears a standard 2.4 m ceiling with plenty of headroom. The manual asks for a flat, level floor with at least 2 m of free space around the rack, plus room either side for loading plates onto the bar.

How much weight can it actually hold and who is it built for?

The J-hooks are rated to 180 kg and the safety spot bars to 200 kg, so it handles serious squatting and pressing loads for most home lifters. It suits beginners through to experienced trainers who want a compact rack without a full cage footprint. Match your bar and plates to those limits and you're well within range.

Can I adjust the width to match my squat stance and barbell?

Yes. The two uprights join through a long base tube and lock anywhere from 50 cm to 120 cm apart with the knobs, so you can set them narrow for pressing or wide for a full squat stance. They take both standard and Olympic barbells, and the 15 height settings let you dial the J-hook position to your exact unrack height. That flexibility is where these stands earn their keep.

Do the safety spot bars make it safe to lift alone?

The adjustable safety spot bars are rated to 200 kg and catch a failed rep, which is the main reason to choose stands like these over simple squat stands. Set them just below your bottom position for squats or chest level for bench work. They're genuinely reassuring for solo training, though always test the height with an empty bar first.
