Overview
The Rogue V2 Bumper Stacker is a vertical, floor-based storage solution designed for maximum space efficiency. Built to house a standard set of Olympic bumper plates, this "stacker" allows you to utilize vertical height rather than horizontal floor space. The 2.0 version features a reinforced bolt-together base, making it more stable and affordable to ship than the original welded model. It is the perfect choice for home gyms and affiliates that need a dedicated, low-footprint station for their primary bumpers.

Key Features and Specifications
Made in the USA: Manufactured in Columbus, Ohio.
Storage Capacity: Optimized to hold a full 230LB to 320LB set of bumper plates.
Construction: 2x2” 11-gauge steel upright with a 1/4” thick laser-cut steel base.
Post Material: 1.5” Schedule 40 pipe (approx. 1.9" OD) to fit standard Olympic plates.
Dimensions: * Height: 36.5” overall.
Loadable Post Length: 35.5”.
Footprint: 24” x 24” (Base).
Finish: Signature Texture Black powder coat.
Hardware: Includes 1/2” bolts and nuts for the base assembly.
Protection: Includes (4) rubber feet to protect gym flooring and prevent the unit from sliding.
Performance Benefits
Small Footprint: At only 24" square, this stacker takes up less room than a traditional plate tree or horizontal rack, making it ideal for tight corners.
Improved Stability: The V2's wider, bolt-together base and 1/4" thick steel plates ensure the unit stays upright and steady, even when stacked to its nearly 3-foot capacity.
Versatile Weight Storage: While designed for bumpers, it easily accommodates cast iron, competition steel, or specialized technique plates.
Cost-Effective Shipping: The bolt-together design allows the unit to ship flat-packed, significantly reducing shipping costs compared to fully welded vertical posts.
Maintenance and Care
Assembly: IMPORTANT: Ensure all base bolts are tightened securely. Any "play" in the base hardware will cause the upright post to lean once a heavy load is applied.
Safe Loading: For maximum stability, load the heaviest plates (45LB/20KG) at the bottom first. This lowers the center of gravity and prevents the unit from becoming top-heavy.
Finish Care: Constant sliding of metal-centered plates will cause surface wear on the powder-coated post. Wipe with a damp microfiber cloth to remove chalk and dust.
Hardware Inspection: Periodically check the base bolts to ensure they haven't loosened from the vibration of stacking heavy weights.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How many 45LB plates can I fit? A: Depending on the thickness of your bumpers (e.g., Rogue Echo vs. Hi-Temp), you can typically stack 10 to 14 plates (45LB/20KG) on the 35.5" loadable post.
Q: Will this fit standard 1" plates? A: No. The post is designed for Olympic plates with a 2" center hole.
Q: Can I add wheels to this? A: This specific model is designed for stationary use. For a mobile vertical storage option, consider the Rogue Vertical Plate Tree 2.0 with the optional wheel kit.
