Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can I use the Small Stand with the 90 lb expansion kits? A: No. The Small Stand is specifically designed for non-expandable sets up to 50 lbs. The Large Stand features the necessary width and structural reinforcement (and adder weight ports) required for the heavier 90 lb sets.
Q: Does the stand lock in the open position? A: The stand utilized a gravity-based locking mechanism when fully opened and loaded. While it does not have a mechanical "snap-lock," it remains extremely stable once the weight of the PowerBlocks is placed on top.
Q: Is it light enough to carry with one hand? A: Yes, once folded, the stand is relatively lightweight and features a slim profile, making it easy to carry and maneuver.
Q: Will this work with the PowerBlock Commercial Series? A: This stand is designed primarily for the home-use EXP and Sport series. Commercial sets (which can reach 175 lbs) require the heavier-duty PowerBlock Commercial Stand or the Rogue PowerBlock Cart.
