Vertical Dumbell Racks – Convenient Space Savers

If your exercise space is limited, vertical dumbell racks can really save a lot of space. They are designed to hold a full set of dumbbells while taking up the minimum of floor space possible. If you want to organize your exercise space efficiently, a vertical dumbell rack is a great aid.

There are several manufacturers who make this kind of dumbbell rack. It is a popular style of storage stand - especially for home use. Although this type of rack is also seen in professional gyms, space is usually not such a problem in most gyms.

Vertical racks are available in various capacities. Depending on how tall they are, they can hold up to 13 pairs of dumbbells. Some vertical racks have four faces, or sides, which hold the dumbbells, while others only have two sides which are used to support the weights.

Easy Dumbell Selection

It's easy to select dumbbells from this type of stand because the weights are at hand level making them easy to see and grasp. Look for a design which supports the handles in such a way that your hand will not be pinched as you pick up and replace the dumbbells.

This type of storage rack is sometimes called a tree because of its vertical design. They are usually designed to hold weights of up to 50 pounds, which is adequate for most dumbbell sets.

Because there are so many companies making this style of rack, they are available in a wide range of prices. When buying a vertical rack, check the quality of construction and finish, and make sure that it sits solidly on the floor.
