Overview
The PowerBlock PowerStand is a durable, small-footprint storage solution designed for home gym users who own PowerBlock sets up to 50 lbs. Its open-frame design allows the athlete to "step in" to the rack, promoting a more ergonomic lifting position when removing or replacing the dumbbells. This stand provides a stable, waist-height platform that makes weight transitions faster and safer by keeping the weight increments perfectly aligned for the selector pin.

Performance Benefits
Safe Loading Height: At 22” high, the PowerStand brings the dumbbells off the floor, making it significantly easier to insert the magnetic selector pin and perform rapid-fire weight changes.
Improved Workflow: The flat steel trays are spaced perfectly to hold two dumbbells, allowing you to transition between exercises like curls and presses with minimal downtime.
Space-Saving Footprint: The 18" x 28" base is compact enough to fit into any spare corner or walk-in closet, making it ideal for urban living and small garage gyms.
Rock-Solid Stability: The wide, four-point base prevents tipping, ensuring the stand remains stationary even when racking heavy 50 lb loads.
Maintenance and Care
Assembly: Follow the included instructions carefully during setup. Use standard hand tools to ensure all bolts are tight and the frame is level.
Cleaning: Wipe the powder-coated steel with a damp cloth and mild soap to remove dust and sweat. Avoid using harsh chemical solvents.
Bolt Tension: Periodically check the hardware to ensure the stand remains rigid over time.
Surface Care: To maintain the finish, avoid sliding the dumbbells across the trays; instead, lift and place them directly onto the platform.
Warranty Information
Standard Warranty: Backed by a limited warranty through PowerBlock, Inc., covering manufacturing and material defects for the original purchaser.
Exclusions: Does not cover standard cosmetic wear (like paint scuffs from dumbbell contact) or damage resulting from overloading the stand beyond its 50 lb per hand rating.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Will this stand work with the 70 lb or 90 lb expansion kits? A: No. The PowerStand is specifically rated for sets up to 50 lbs. For the 70 lb and 90 lb expandable sets, the PowerBlock Large Column Stand or the Rogue PowerBlock Cart are required to handle the extra weight and size safely.
Q: Is it difficult to assemble? A: Not at all. It is designed for easy home assembly. All hardware is included, and it typically takes less than 20 minutes to set up.
Q: Can I use this for other brands of adjustable dumbbells? A: While it is designed specifically for the dimensions of PowerBlocks, any adjustable dumbbell that fits within the 28" width could theoretically be stored on the flat trays. However, the ergonomic "step-in" feature is optimized for the PowerBlock handle orientation.
Q: Does it have ports for the adder weights? A: The PowerStand features flat trays. For dedicated adder weight storage ports, you would want to look at the PowerBlock Large Column Stand.
