Overview
The XML-144 12' Monster Lite Upright is a heavy-duty structural component designed for the custom expansion and reinforcement of Rogue Monster Lite Rigs. Built to the same exacting standards as the uprights found in the 2013 CrossFit Regionals, these 12-foot legs provide the height necessary for high-level ring work, rope climbs, and customized pull-up station configurations. Sold individually, they offer gym owners and athletes a modular solution for building out professional-grade training environments.

Performance Benefits
High-Altitude Capability: The 12' height is specifically optimized for attaching Shrimp Trawler arms for gymnastics ring work or for establishing high-anchor rope climb stations.
Structural Integrity: The use of 11-gauge steel ensures that even at 12 feet, the upright maintains maximum rigidity and safety during high-momentum movements.
Custom Rig Expansion: These uprights allow for "infinite" scaling of a rig, enabling facilities to add new cells or stations as their member base grows.
Precision Adjustability: The Westside hole spacing allows for micro-adjustments of J-cups and safeties, ensuring athletes can find their ideal rack height for any lift.
Maintenance and Care
Mounting Inspection: Periodically check that the floor mounting hardware and rig crossmember bolts are torqued to Rogue’s specifications. Movement in the rig can lead to premature wear of the fasteners.
Cleaning: Wipe down the powder-coated surface with a damp cloth and mild soap to remove sweat and chalk. For heavy chalk buildup, a soft nylon brush may be used.
Rust Prevention: While powder-coated, any deep scratches that expose raw steel should be touched up with a rust-preventative matte black paint to prevent oxidation, especially in high-humidity environments.
Accessory Check: Ensure that any J-cups or pull-up bars attached to the upright have their UHMW plastic intact to prevent metal-on-metal friction against the upright's finish.
Warranty Information
Limited Lifetime Warranty: Rogue Fitness warrants the structural steel and welds of the Monster Lite Upright against defects in material and workmanship for the lifetime of the original purchaser.
Exclusions: The warranty does not cover the powder coat finish, damage from improper installation, or use of non-compatible 3rd party attachments.
