Racks

Stability All PowerLift racks are made of steel that is thicker than 7 gauge-The thicker they are the more stable they are. Safety The 15 safety slots, supporting the bar catches, are laser cut. The bar catches have double pins for extra load bearing qualities. Wear and Tear Black wrinkle coat paint is used, as it is more resistant to dents and scratches Competitors use 3"*3" tubes or 2"*3" 11 gauge tubing.

Durability
The centre section of the platform is ¾" thick grade 1 red oak and this extends through its entire length, making it far harder wearing than composites.

Stability
The centre section attaches to the wing sections by a tongue and groove fitting. This creates a much sturdier platform.

Finish
No peeling of logo and yellowing of surface
The platforms are finished, sanded and sealed with 2 costs of oil-modified urethane sealer and 1 coat of High Gloss oil-modified urethane. After the logos are applied 4 coats of a water based urethane are applied. This achieves a clear, non-yellowing, high gloss, super durable finish that will last for years. Vinyl logos stay protected and the true colours show through and never yellow unlike those that use an oil based finish.

Competitors: Platforms are thinner-1.5 to 3 inches thick.vs Power Lift 3 3/4 inches.
Competitors: Tongue and groove flooring is rarely used by other manufacturers.
Competitors: Use Oak stained plywood pieces for their centre section.
Others will use 1/4" thick oak vs Power Lift 3/4" Oak.
Competitors: Use oil based finish that will cause logos to yellow or peel up.

'Lever Action' Bench (Patented)

Ease of Adjustment
The linear bearing slide adjustment provides frictionless seat adjustment. The lever is easy to use whilst in the seated position making it unnecessary to get off the bench to adjust it.

Support and comfort
The Patented linkage system adjusts the seat angle when the back pad angle is adjusted; this eliminates the need for a separate seat adjustment. This also eliminates any gap or hole between the back and seat pads, providing better support for the lifter.

Other PowerLift equipment
Whether PowerLift are making accessories for their racks, from Technique Trays to Rotating Chin Up Handles, or stand alone benches such as the Rotating Glute Ham Bench or the stand alone units, such as the Free Standing Combo Pulley, they use the same manufacturing techniques incorporated in the construction of the Racks, Benches and Platforms. These techniques invariably provide a better quality product through strength, stability, comfort, ease of use and lasting finish.

Competitors: 2"*3" 11 gauge tubing and some have 7 gauge tubing.
Competitors: Not as many angles of incline.
Competitors: Seat will not be frictionless.
Competitors: Cannot lock into our racks.
Competitors: Users will need to get off the bench in order to adjust it for proper positioning.
Competitors: There will be a gap between back and seat pads.
Competitors: Other benches will not have the Patented Linkage system and thus the seat angle will not be adjusted when the back angle is adjusted.

Rotating Glute Ham Bench

Specially constructed dual Thigh roller pads rotate with the body while performing the glute/hamstring exercise. These unique pads reduce the pressure against the quadriceps muscles to create a more comfortable and effective exercise for the Gluteus, Hamstrings and lower Back.

The Easy Glide roller mechanism very effortlessly adjust the foot plate assembly horizontally, eliminating the difficulty of tube-in-tube adjustment.

The lower kneepads support the body to allow for proper positioning of the footplate assembly with the body in position for the exercise.

The footplate assembly adjusts up and down with the simple turn of a spindle. This easy adjustment changes the difficulty of the exercise.

The footplate top is slightly angled forward. This angle allows for equal pressure to be applied along the entire foot while performing the exercise.

The height of the dual Thigh pads enables a wide range of users to perform a manual resistance - Reverse Hyperextension exercise, while facing into the pads.
The Tripod frame base design, with standard rubber floor bumpers, provides for secure, anti-rock stability.

Rhino Hook Bar Catches

The rhino hooks are another Safety mechanism.

- Lined with UHMW plastic to protect tubes.
- Small handle on backside to aid in adjusting.
- Sight hole in catch allows user to see height adjustment numbers
- Protected with Patent No: US D444,827 S

Summary

1. Power Lift builds products for the "Athletic Performance Market" and are guided in this manufacturing process by the requirements of Head Strength and Conditioning Coaches. Whilst other companies may dabble in the manufacture of Integrated racks and platforms, as a sideline from their core business of Health Clubs or Home Fitness, for Power Lift, racks and platforms are the sole reason for the company's existence.

2. Power Lift products last longer because they are better built with better quality materials. That is why they give a 15-year conditional warranty on the racks.

3. Power Lift products are more comfortable to use because they are more bio-mechanically sound e.g. Lever Action Bench and Glute Ham Bench.

4. Power Lift are leading innovators in athletic products and have several Patents and Patents pending. The newest being the Laser Rack.
