Gorilla Sports Weight Plate Tree 1 Inch, 200 kg, 6 Holders

The GORILLA SPORTS Weight Plate Tree 1 Inch is a steel storage stand for 1 inch weight plates, 60 x 50 x 105 cm, priced at £54.99 and rated 4.5 out of 5 from 208 ratings. It took second place in our guide. The interesting part is not the headline figure but the one printed underneath it: the listing gives a maximum weight capacity of 200 kilograms, and in the same breath describes each of the six holders as taking up to 35 kilograms. Six holders at 35 kilograms is 210 kilograms. Whichever way you work it, the two numbers in the same listing do not match — and 200 divided by six holders gives 33 kilograms each, not 35.

That per-holder figure is the one worth keeping. A single total tells you very little about whether your plates will actually fit, whereas 35 kilograms per holder, across six holders, tells you how to spread the load. The listing also notes that the holders are 20 centimetres long and that the rack is intended for 1 inch plates, so anyone with 2 inch Olympic plates is looking at the wrong product regardless of the headline capacity. Everything on this page — capacity, dimensions, materials, price and rating — comes from the Amazon listing itself. We did not test this rack, and none of the figures here are our measurements.
