Rank #8 in Best Parallettes 2026: 10 Ranked, and the Load Claims That Fail the Spec Table
TABEKE 12-Inch Parallettes Bars, 660 lb Stated Load
Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The TABEKE Push Up Bar sits at number 8 in this guide to parallettes. It is a pair of 12-inch bars in black metal with full-coverage foam handles, listed at £21.24 with a 4.6 out of 5 rating from 29 ratings.
On this listing the load number holds up. The first bullet claims a maximum capacity of 660 LBS, and the Maximum Weight Recommendation field in the spec table says 660 Pounds — the same figure in both places, which is not what happens on the READAEER and EVERYMATE listings elsewhere in this guide, where the bullet and the spec row disagree with each other. The height cross-checks as well: the bullet says 12 inches, and the Item Dimensions row gives a height of 30.5 centimetres, which is 12 inches. What the bullets do mix is units — 1.5MM thickened steel in one bullet, 1.5'' thickened foam in another. Everything on this page comes from the Amazon listing, not from any test we ran.

Quoted from customer reviews on Amazon
Verified purchase“Does the trick. Hard to tighten up though so that they aren't slightly wobbly. My husband had to do the last bit for me.”

Questions people ask
Does the advertised load rating match the spec table?
Yes. The first bullet claims a maximum capacity of 660 LBS and the Maximum Weight Recommendation field says 660 Pounds. The two numbers agree, and the item's own Item Weight is listed separately at 4.08 kg, so the 660 figure is a load rating rather than the product's weight.
How tall are the TABEKE parallettes?
The bullet gives a height of 12 inches and compares it with 9 inches; the Item Dimensions L x W x H row lists 30.5 centimetres high, which is 12 inches.
What are the bars made of?
The bullets describe 1.5MM thickened heavy-duty steel and a full-coverage foam handle, and the Material field says Metal. The handle type is listed as foam, and 1.5'' thickened foam appears in a separate bullet — one bullet uses millimetres, the other inches.
How do buyers rate them?
4.6 out of 5 stars from 29 ratings. The rating histogram is given as shares that add up to 100: 85% five-star, 5% four-star, 5% three-star and 5% one-star, with nothing at two stars.
Do they need assembling?
Yes. The bullets say all the necessary hardware is included and that the bars can be installed and disassembled within 1 minute. The title describes them as no wobbling, and the bullets cite adjustable non-slip feet.
What colour are they and how many items are in the box?
Black, with one item listed under Number of Items and a Unit Count of 1.0 count.
