Rank #5 in Best Squat Rack 2026: 10 Ranked, and Why the Load Ratings Don't Add Up
Hop-Sport HS-1004L Adjustable Barbell Rack with Dip Bars
Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The Hop-Sport HS-1004L is an adjustable barbell rack: two stands with height and width settings, two safety catches that sit below the bar, and dip handles built into the frame. It takes fifth place in our best squat racks guide at £79.00, with 4.2 out of 5 from 237 Amazon ratings, and the listing describes a rectangular alloy steel frame with a powder-coated finish.
The number that needs checking on this listing is the claimed 250 kg maximum load, because the same listing gives the item weight as 12.5 kg. Three racks in this guide print the same 250 kg headline on three very different frames: this one at 12.5 kg, a stand listed at £49.98 whose frame is given as 18.5 kg, and a GYM MASTER rack listed at £69.99 with a 10 kg frame. The £106.24 JX Fitness at least uses a different figure — "440", on a 26.4 kg frame, which is 440 lb, roughly 200 kg. The HS-1004L listing also disagrees with itself on quantity: one specification field reads "Number Of Racks: 2", while others read "Number of Items: 1" and "Unit Count: 1.0 count". Everything on this page comes from the Amazon listing — none of it from testing by us.
