Overview
The Rogue Monster Lite Monkey Rig 2.0 is a specialized, high-capacity training station that integrates the utility of a standard power rig with a full-length monkey bar course. Designed for military, collegiate, and CrossFit affiliate facilities, this rig utilizes 3x3” 11-gauge steel uprights and 5/8” hardware. The 2.0 version features upgraded 3x3” top beams for increased lateral stability, creating a rigid, multi-functional environment for strength training and obstacle-course-style conditioning.

Maintenance and Care
Rung Inspection: Regularly check the 5/8" hardware on every monkey bar rung to ensure they haven't vibrated loose during high-volume use.
Powdercoat Care: Wipe down the rungs and uprights with a mild detergent and water to remove excess chalk and skin oils, which can cause surface degradation over time.
Floor Anchor Check: Given the dynamic nature of monkey bar training, it is critical to periodically verify that all floor anchors are tight and the base plates are flush with the concrete.
UHMW Liner Maintenance: Check J-cup liners for wear to ensure they continue to protect your barbells from metal-to-metal contact.
Assembly Information
The Monster Lite Monkey Rig 2.0 is a modular, bolt-together system. Rogue recommends a team of at least three to four people for safe installation. Floor mounting hardware is NOT included standard, but Rogue highly recommends securing your rig to the floor before use.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can I adjust the height of individual monkey bar rungs? A: This distance is greater than 1' from the last rung of the angled beam to the flat-top of the center section. Users can also create their own custom rung spacing during set-up.
Q: Is this compatible with Monster (1") accessories? A: No. This rig uses 5/8" hardware. You must use Monster Lite series attachments.
Q: Can the Monkey Rig be expanded later? A: Yes. Because it is modular, you can add 4' or 6' Monkey Rig extension kits at any time to increase the length of your course.
Q: What is the weight limit for the monkey bars? A: The 1.25" rungs and 3x3" 11-gauge steel beams are engineered to support multiple heavy athletes simultaneously, provided the rig is properly anchored to a concrete floor.
