Compact & rackable barbell for tight spaces. Saves 17 inches of space.

Product Features

  • COMPACT GYM LIFESAVER

    Sometimes, the best does come in small packages - we took our best-selling Utility Barbell and (literally) trimmed some off the top, while still allowing it to be racked in a power rack up to 49 inches wide.

  • PORTABLE MEETS PRACTICAL

    It's just 69 inches long! Squat and bench in a tight space. Do landmine exercises where you otherwise couldn't. Store it in a Vertical Bar Holder, despite having 8-foot ceilings (we see you, basement dweller).

  • SMALL SIZE, ALL THE POWER

    Everything you expect from a quality Olympic barbell just 17.6 inches shorter. And thanks to its 900-pound capacity, you can still chase that 800-pound deadlift with room to spare.

Product Details

The Short Rackable Utility Bar is where portability meets practicality. Whether you're lifting in a broom closet under the stairs (is that you, Harry?) or looking to optimize the usability of your Hydra Trident Station, a short rackable barbell is a saving grace for a space-constrained home gym.

We took our best-selling Utility Barbell and literally trimmed some off the top, while still allowing it to be racked in a power rack up to 49 inches wide.

This means you also get its most beloved features; versatile 28.5mm diameter, dual knurl markings, centre knurl for better grip on squats, and a durable black zinc coating. We even matched the sleeve finish for an all-black look that'll turn heads.

The shorter version is more practical for deadlifts and the Olympic lifts; but with its 900lb capacity and rackable feature, this one takes the cake for squats and bench presses in tight quarters.


IMPORTANT: The Short Rackable Utility Bar is rackable in a power rack up to 49 inches wide, which allows 1.375" of racking space on each side of the bar. For a NON-rackable version, check out the Short Utility Bar.

    Perfect size, great bar

    This bar is awesome for a small home gym. The shorter sleeves are not a problem for me, I'm not strong enough to max them out even with bumper plates. The knurling is definitely on the passive side but in the acceptable range for me. It has good, tight tolerances and a nice even finish. I use mine with a Giant Lifting 2x2 rack and it makes for a great setup. Worth it's price, no doubt.

    Thanks a bunch for the fantastic review and the great photos, Chris! We're jazzed to hear that the Short Rackable Barbell fits perfectly into your home gym haven. The passive knurling and the bar's tight tolerances definitely make it a solid choice for many lifters. And hey, with that setup, you're ready to channel some serious gains!

    Perfect for smaller spaces

    Wish the collar was an inch or two wider but this is just about perfect. Thank you!

    Shiney, compact for small area. Was looking for a smaller bar with the center knurl & now my search is over! Rackable, highly recommend. Great price & quality!
