Overview
The Rogue Shrimp Trawler is a space-efficient rig and rack attachment designed to expand the functionality of your training facility without increasing its footprint. It is primarily used to create additional muscle-up and ring stations or as a heavy-duty mount for punching bags. By mounting directly to an existing upright, it allows gym owners to maximize their training capacity while keeping standard pull-up bars open for other athletes.

Heavy Bag Utility: Widely utilized as a stable cantilevered arm for hanging heavy bags off the side of a rack or rig.
Footprint Preservation: Adds training volume by extending the rig’s "wingspan" outward rather than requiring more floor-mounted equipment.
Space Management: Ideal for high-traffic gyms looking to separate dynamic ring work from static pull-up bar exercises.
Maintenance and Care
Hardware Tightening: Regularly inspect the mounting bolts to ensure they remain torqued to specification, particularly when the unit is used for high-vibration activities like heavy bag training.
Surface Cleaning: Clean the powder-coated steel with a non-abrasive cloth and mild detergent to prevent the buildup of sweat and gym chalk.
Safety Zone Management: Ensure the area below and around the trawler is clear of J-cups, bars, or other accessories before beginning dynamic movements.
Appropriate Matting: Rogue recommends placing appropriate protective matting below the station whenever an athlete is performing movements off the ground.
Warranty Information
Rogue Fitness typically offers a Limited Lifetime Warranty on the structural welds and frames of its USA-made rack accessories. This warranty covers the original purchaser against defects in material and workmanship. It does not cover damage caused by improper installation, negligent use, or failure to bolt the host rig to the floor.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Does my rig need to be bolted to the floor to use this?
A: Yes. For safety and stability, the rig or rack must be securely bolted to the ground before utilizing the Shrimp Trawler.
Q: How much space do I need between multiple Shrimp Trawlers?
A: Rogue recommends a minimum of 10 feet between trawlers to prevent athletes from colliding during dynamic movements like muscle-ups.
Q: Can I use this on a Monster Series rack?
A: No. This model is built for Infinity and Monster Lite units. For Monster Series rigs, you must use the "Monster Shrimp Trawler" which features 3x3" steel and 1" hardware.
Q: Is it safe to hang a climbing rope from this?
A: While strong enough for weight, Rogue advises against using climbing ropes with standard metal shackles due to excessive wear; proper rope attachments should be used instead.
