Rank #10 in Best Squat Rack 2026: 10 Ranked, and Why the Load Ratings Don't Add Up
GYM MASTER Half Power Cage with Pull-Up and Dip Station
Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The GYM MASTER Half Power Cage with Pull-Up and Dip Station is a half cage: squat rack, top-frame pull-up bar and front dip handles in one frame, aimed at garages and outbuildings rather than full-height cages. It sits tenth in this guide and is the dearest thing in it at £179.99, roughly three and a half times the cheapest stand on the page.
The listing does one thing the rest of the page does not: it gives two limits instead of one. A "Large 200kg barbell max load" and a "120kg max pull up load" are stated separately, and the spec table repeats 200 kg as "Maximum weight capacity". That is a more honest set of numbers than a single figure doing the work of two. The same listing then records the package as "10 x 10 x 10 cm; 200 kg" — a box you could hold in one hand, weighing the same as the barbell limit, so the 200 kg turns up twice in two roles and one of those uses cannot be right. The frame is also the only one here whose dip bars are called out as wobbly in customer reviews. Everything on this page is taken from the Amazon listing and its customer reviews, not from testing we carried out ourselves.

What buyers actually say
Quoted from customer reviews on Amazon
Verified purchase“At 2.1 meters high it's perfect for average ceiling height, otherwise you would not be able to get head over chin bar without touching the ceiling. It's very stable once assembled and perfect for squatting in complete safety with the spotting bars. The dipping bars are a very useful addition and i think the package at this price point represents great value.”
Verified purchase“Great addition to home gym. Great value for money and very sturdy. The pull up bar attachment is a great height and Still comfortable for my 6ft 4in partner. The rack does wobble slightly when used for dips but not to the detrement of the exercise or cause instability. I built the rack alone within about 40 minutes without too much difficulty. Instructions were easy to follow. Delivery was in 2 boxes and not too heavy for one person to move.”
