Overview
The XML-70B Monster Lite 70" Beam is a heavy-duty structural component designed to upgrade existing Monster Lite Rigs or Wallmount systems. Built from 3x3" 11-gauge steel, this beam serves as a substantial replacement for standard 70" parallel crossmembers or single pull-up bars. Its unique design provides more than 8 inches of additional headroom, making it the perfect mounting platform for gymnastics rings, heavy bags, or pulley systems while increasing the overall versatility of a training space.

Performance Benefits
Increased Headroom: The 14" end plates allow the beam to sit higher than a standard crossmember, creating 8"+ of additional vertical space—essential for ring muscle-ups or tall athletes.
Enhanced Rigidity: The 3x3" 11-gauge steel construction provides a more stable, vibration-resistant connection point than a standard single pull-up bar.
Accessory Ready: The 2" hole spacing allows for the easy integration of Monster Lite shackles, face-mount pull-up bars, bolt-together wall ball targets, and cable pulley systems.
Space Optimization: Ideal for turning a small footprint into a multi-functional station by acting as a high-clearance anchor for multiple suspension and strength tools.
Maintenance and Care
Hardware Inspection: Periodically check the 5/8" mounting bolts to ensure they remain torqued correctly, particularly if the beam is used for dynamic movements like kiping pull-ups or ring muscle-ups.
Finish Care: Clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. If the powder coat is chipped by heavy metal-on-metal contact (such as shackles or carabiners), touch up the area with black paint to prevent surface rust.
Outdoor Use Note: While durable, the beam is not designed for permanent outdoor installation unless specified as galvanized. Ensure any indoor environment is kept dry to maintain the integrity of the finish.
