Overview
The Rogue RML-390C Power Rack 3.0 is a compact, heavy-duty power cage that brings the custom aesthetics of Rogue’s Color series to the Monster Lite platform. Constructed from 3x3" 11-gauge steel with 5/8" hardware, it is essentially a more color-diverse, bolt-together version of the standard RML-3. With its 24" interior lifting depth, it is the ideal choice for those who want a fully enclosed rack experience without sacrificing excessive floor space in a garage or basement gym.

Performance Benefits
Space-Efficiency: At a total depth of only 34", this is one of the most space-conscious full power cages available, making it perfect for single-car garage setups.
Rock-Solid Stability: The bolt-together design, paired with 3x3" steel, provides a high level of rigidity for heavy squats and dynamic pull-ups.
Precision Training: Westside hole spacing through the "bench zone" ensures you can set your safeties and J-cups at the exact height needed to maximize safety and bar path.
Ecosystem Compatibility: Fully compatible with all Monster Lite accessories, including the Slinger, Matador, and Rhino Belt Squat (Add-on version).
Aesthetic Flexibility: The 3.0 series allows you to move beyond basic black, giving you the ability to match your equipment to your team colors or home gym theme.
Maintenance and Care
Bolting Requirement: Because of its compact 24" depth, the RML-390C must be securely bolted to the floor to ensure safety during use. If floor anchoring is not possible, a stabilizer crossmember must be added to the rear base.
Hardware Audit: Periodically check all 5/8” hardware. It is recommended to perform a tension check after the first month of use and every six months thereafter.
Surface Cleaning: Use a mild soap and water solution to wipe down the powder-coated uprights. Avoid abrasive cleaners that can dull the finish.
UHMW Liner Check: Inspect the plastic liners on J-cups and safeties for wear. Replace them as needed to ensure your barbell’s knurling remains protected.
Climate Protection: In non-climate-controlled spaces, wipe down the rack after humid sessions to prevent surface oxidation, particularly on any non-powder-coated hardware.
Warranty Information
Frame and Welds: Limited Lifetime Warranty.
General Parts: 5-Year Warranty on most mechanical attachments.
