Performance Benefits
Ergonomic Elevation: By raising the dumbbells to 28”, the stand minimizes lower back strain during weight adjustments and prevents the need to lift heavy loads from floor level.
Seamless Transitions: The angled trays and organized adder weight storage allow for rapid weight changes, which is critical for maintaining intensity during drop sets or timed circuits.
Compact Footprint: Measuring just 18” x 22”, it occupies significantly less floor space than a traditional multi-tier dumbbell rack while holding the equivalent of a full set of fixed dumbbells.
Equipment Preservation: The included adhesive mats dampen noise and prevent metal-to-metal scratching, keeping your PowerBlocks in pristine condition.
Maintenance and Care
Cleaning: Wipe the powder-coated frame and adhesive mats with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could scratch the finish or degrade the mat's adhesive.
Hardware Inspection: Periodically check the assembly bolts to ensure the stand remains rigid and stable under the weight of the dumbbells.
Mat Replacement: If the adhesive tray mats become excessively worn or lose their grip, they can be cleaned or replaced to continue protecting the equipment.
Indoor Storage: Designed for indoor use. Avoid high-moisture or outdoor environments to prevent oxidation of the steel frame.
Warranty Information
Standard Warranty: PowerBlock typically provides a limited warranty on storage stands, covering defects in materials and manufacturing for the original purchaser.
Exclusions: Does not cover cosmetic damage from regular use, such as paint chipping, or damage caused by improper assembly or overloading the stand beyond its 90 lb per side rating.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Does this stand work with the Commercial Pro Series? A: No. The Commercial Pro Series (125lb and 175lb models) typically comes with its own heavy-duty stand. The Large Column Stand is specifically sized for the home-use EXP and Elite 50 series up to 90 lbs.
Q: Is assembly difficult? A: Assembly is straightforward and can be completed quickly with standard hand tools. All necessary instructions are provided in the carton.
Q: Why is there a hole in the center of the stand? A: That area is specifically designed to store the four 2.5 lb chrome adder weights when they are not inside the dumbbell handles, ensuring they don't get lost or roll around the gym floor.
Q: Is the stand stable enough for heavy 90 lb dumbbells? A: Yes. The "Column" design and wide 22" base are engineered to remain stable and tip-resistant when fully loaded with a 90 lb pair of PowerBlocks.
