Installation Video: BD3X AXIS Rack — Built to Grow With You The BD3X AXIS Rack is a fully modular rack system that’s designed out of the box to elevate your training. Built with massive 11 gauge 3"x3" uprights, 2" hole spacing, and 1" diameter holes this rack plays well with a ton of popular components and accessories out there, including our BD3X series options. We created this rack to hit the sweet spot between value and performance. It’s solid where it counts and completely overbuilt for years of hard training. 6-Post Rack Specifications Dual Weight Stacks: 160 lb or 210 lb each Pulley Ratio: 2:1 Overall Width: 48" Overall Height: 94.5" Total Rack Depth: 59" Approximately 61" including footplate Power Rack Depth: 30" Functional Trainer Section Depth: 20" Internal Width Between Uprights: 42" Steel: 3" × 3" 11-gauge steel Hole Spacing: 2" Hole Size: 1" Compatibility: 3X Series attachments Color Options: Every rack comes with three upright color options ( Concrete Grey, Space Black, or Volcanic Red), but all the crossmembers come as space black. What sets it apart? A fluid cable pulley system powered by heavy-duty machined steel guide rails—not the hollow kind. These rails connect to a precision aluminum bracket that cuts down the wobble and keeps the weight stack perfectly aligned. It’s one of those small details that make a big difference—and yeah, we made sure not to overlook it. The cable pulley system wouldn't be smooth without aluminum bearing pulleys and a 1,000 lb capacity wiring system. We built this system to be affordable out of the gate. Start with a dual 160 lb weight stacks (320 lbs total) or a dual 210 lb weight stacks (420 lbs total). If you start with a 160 lb dual stack and want to upgrade the stack to 210 lbs later, we will launch a conversion kit in the coming months whenever you're ready—easy upgrade, no hassle. Out of the box, your AXIS Half Rack includes: All of your functional trainer component needs for assembly Your Choice: 160lb or 210lb Dual Weight Stacks (2:1 Ratio) Pair of newly designed 3X 2.0 J-cups Light knurled Aluminum D-Handles A 1.25" EZ Grip standard pull-up bar Massive 1" black zinc hardware throughout the rack Key Features: Cables & Pulleys The AXIS System runs on 3/16" (.1875") aircraft-grade cables— and nylon-coated for long-term durability. These premium 7-strand, 19-wire cables offer the perfect mix of resilience and flexibility, built to handle constant movement over pulleys and wraps around your rack with authority. Every AXIS rack is decked out with ball-bearing aluminum pulleys—for the smoothest pulls possible. Because let’s be honest: lifting’s already hard enough. Your pulleys are anodized black which gives them a unique clean aesthetic. Trolley's Not all trolleys are equal. We made our trolley with ease of use, safety, and value in mind. Here's how: Peep Hole Eliminate the guesswork with a peephole that aligns perfectly with the laser-cut numbers on the rack’s upright—making height adjustments quick, easy, and accurate. Locking Pin To top it off, we’ve included an oversized locking pin. It's intentionally overbuilt so you won’t have to fumble with multiple pins when adjusting height—just one pin, rock-solid, every time. Knurled Handle Everything’s better with knurling—so we added a light aggressive volcano pattern to the trolley handle for a solid, no-slip grip when adjusting along the rack. Rods & Weight Plates Let’s be real—guide rods and weight stacks aren’t the sexiest part of a functional trainer. But when it comes to getting the smoothest pull possible, they’re absolutely critical. We found that solid machined steel rods (not hollow) are a must. Hollow rods create reverberation and allow for side-to-side movement, which messes with the feel and adds noise. After a ton of testing, we landed on plastic-lined weight plates that make precise contact with the rods, dramatically reducing movement and making each pull feel smooth. To take it even further, we added an aluminum alignment connector on the top plate to keep everything perfectly in line from top to bottom along the rod. You may not think about rods and plates while you’re lifting—but trust us, you’ll feel the difference. We obsessed over the details so you can stay focused on lifting. Want to build out your setup?
