Is there enough clearence between the plates on the smith bar and storage plates when installed a 17 inch section of the powerrack? Or do you need 24 inch crossmembers?
Once this is installed inside the rack, can any other exercises, other than smith machine, be done inside? Seems like the SM attachments would prevent using any spotter arms or strap safeties.
If it's mounted inside the rack, you wouldn't be able to use safeties. So we recommend either mounting it outside of the rack, or if it's mounted inside the rack, to do exercises outside of the rack with spotter arms.
Will this be able to be installed in a shallow half rack with your 17inch crossmembers? I’m assuming you’ll recommend front feet extensions… Is there a recommendation on which way to face the hooks? (Facing the front or rear of rack)
This should be able to fir on a 17" crossmember, though you'll be limited on the angle that it's mounted. Front feet extension definitely recommended. Facing the hooks towards the back is recommended.
It can. though it definitely depends on the dimensions of your rack. To be certain, it's best to reach out to our support team with your rack dimensions. support@bellsofsteel.com
This is great. Yall made it so it could fit on our Rep and Rogue racks too. This is Awesome
Top notch video installation walkthrough. Look forward to one just like it for the Kraken to use.
Just went up! Have a look lmk what you think
This is dope! Price point and will there be counter balance add on eventually?
It's a possibility
Something for us to look into as we develop this further
Will this be able to be used on a hydra rack bolted from top to bottom? I would like to bolt in the middle instead of on the front or back.
Yes, you can use it bolted to the middle. It does depend on which rack height you have, but it works on most of our configurations.

@ thank you. I hope this answers a lot of peoples questions.
will this work on metric racks as well?
It can. though it definitely depends on the dimensions of your rack.

Will this be available for 72in rack heights?
As of right now, it's only available for 84" racks and up. but that could change if we see a high demand in the future
Are the shafts solid or hollow ?
For the standard version, the shaft is hollow
@ thanks! To confirm, you’re talking about the 2 vertical shafts?
