• This installation requires two people.
• Standard installation for 81” rack is designed for ceilings 8’-3” (99”) or taller, 89”
rack it’s 8’-11” (107”) or taller and for 95” rack it’s 9’-5” (113”) or taller. If your
ceilings are shorter than these dimensions, please refer to the table on page 3 and
use the bracket height measurements that correspond to your ceiling height.

1. Assemble all tools listed on page 1 and clear your workspace.
2. Check the stud spacing of your wall: All Profile® Squat Racks are designed to be mounted to
wood studs with standard 12”, 16”, or 24” spacing.
• To mount your rack to a wall with non-standard stud spacing, please use a stringer board. If
you have any questions about the stringer board, please email us at
• PRx recommends professional installation for mounting the wall brackets to a block, concrete,
or metal stud wall.
3. Check your wall width: All Profile® Racks mount to 48” spaced studs. Identify the studs you plan
to mount your rack to and ensure you’ll have 32” on either side of your rack to allow space to use
a 20kg barbell.
4. Check your ceiling height: Standard installation is designed for ceilings 8’-3” (99”) or taller for
81” racks, 8’-11” (107”) or taller for 89” racks and 9’-5” (113”) or taller for 95” racks. If your ceiling
is shorter than the standard installation height, please see page 3 for modifications to your
installation. If you have any questions about the modified install, please email us at
5. Recruit a work partner to assist with lifting and holding the rack.

Modified installations will result in a shallower rack depth and linkage arms will be at an angle when
deployed. The linkage arms must be parallel to each other when the rack is installed to allow the rack to fold
correctly.

1. Begin by determining if your floor slopes down to the left, down to the right, or is flat. See Figure 2. If
it slopes down to the left, start with the far-left stud. If it slopes down to the right, start with the far-right
stud.

2. Locate two studs spaced 48” apart in the wall using a stud finder (Figure 2).
3. Mark the first hole 21” from the floor and a second hole 81”, 89” or 95” (for respective racks 81”, 89” or
95”) from the floor centered on the far-left stud (or right depending on your floor slope).
4. Measure down 4” from each mark from step 3 to mark the third and fourth holes.
5. Use the cordless drill and the 7/32” drill bit to drill the four marked holes at least 2-1/2” deep.
6. Align the wall bracket over the drilled holes so the ear of the wall bracket is facing down and out.
Using an impact driver and 1/2” socket, fasten the first upper wall bracket to the wall with two 5/16”
lag screws (3) and washers (4) (Figure 3).
5
7. Center the lag screws in the slots of the wall bracket and use the level to check the wall bracket is
straight as you tighten the lag screws. Do not over tighten the lag screws.
8. On the same stud, repeat step 6 with the first lower wall bracket, but do not fully tighten the lag
screws.
9. Vertically align the upper and lower wall brackets using a plumb bob. Use the level to double-check
the wall bracket is straight as you tighten the lag screws. Do not over tighten the lag screws.

10. Place the 4-foot level against the bottom edge of the first upper wall bracket, span it to the next
marked stud 48” away, and mark the wall once leveled (Figure 3).
11. Place the second upper wall bracket so the bottom aligns to the level mark, and mark the location of
the holes on the stud.
12. Using a cordless drill and 7/32” drill bit, drill pilot holes at least 2-1/2” deep at the marked locations.
13. Using an impact driver and 1/2” socket, fasten the wall bracket to the wall with the 5/16” lag screws
and washers. Do not fully tighten the lag screws.
14. Using the tape measure, set the distance from the inside edge of the left wall bracket to the inside
edge of the right wall bracket to 45-1/2” (Figure 4). Level the wall bracket and fully tighten the lag
screws. Do not over tighten the lag screws.
15. Repeat steps 10 through 14 with the remaining lower wall bracket.
Figure 4: Space out the Wall Brackets
1. Using the 7/16” wrench and the 1/2” wrench, attach the large barrel end of one gas shock (15) to the
outer face of each linkage arm (14) with one flange nut (16) (Figure 5).

1. Place the small side of the plastic spacer (13) into the linkage arm (14) (Figure 6).
2. Place the linkage arm with the plastic spacer facing the inside of the wall bracket “ear”.
3. Attach the linkage arm to the wall bracket using a 1-3/4” hex head bolt (8) and 5/8” washer (5) on
the outside of the wall bracket “ear” and a 5/8” washer (5) and 5/8” lock nut (6) on the inside of the
linkage arm.
4. Tighten using a 15/16” socket and 15/16” wrench.
NOTE: DO NOT attach the gas shocks to the wall brackets.
5. Repeat steps 1-4 with the other 3 linkage arms.
NOTE: DO NOT over tighten any of the pivot points. This may result in the rack feeling “stiff”
moving up and down. It should move up and down freely.

1. Lay the uprights on the ground with the numbers facing upwards. Leave space between them for
the Pull Up (Multi-Grip or Straight) Bar (9).
2. Lay the Pull Up (Multi-Grip or Straight) Bar (9) on the ground (Figure 7) with the bar facing up
between the uprights.
3. Position the Pull Up (Multi-Grip or Straight) Bar (9) so that the holes align with the top hole of both
uprights (Figure 7). Using the 5” hex head bolts (10), 5/8” washers (5), and 5/8” lock nuts (6),
attach the Pull Up (Multi-Grip or Straight) Bar (9) to the upright (Figure 7), (hand tighten nuts onto
bolts, they will be removed later to attach upper linkage arms).
4. Using the 4-1/2” hex head bolts (7), 5/8” washers (5), and 5/8” lock nuts (6), fully tighten the bolts
through the fourth hole of each upright.

1. Team lift the rack into place (approximately 20” from the wall) and begin attaching the linkage arms
starting at the top.
2. Undo one 5/8” x 5” hex bolt (10) and bolt the linkage arm to the upright through the Pull Up Bar using
the 5/8” x 5” hex bolt (10), two 5/8” flat washers (5), one plastic spacer (13), and one 5/8” locknut (6)
(Figure 8). Tighten to be snug but do not overtighten. Repeat this with the other side.

3. Bolt the lower linkage arm at the ninth hole from the bottom using the 5/8” x 4-1/2” hex bolt (7), two 5/8”
flat washers (5), one plastic spacer (13), and one 5/8” locknut (6) (Figure 9). Tighten to be snug but do
not overtighten. Repeat this on the other side.

1. With another person, lift the rack to fold it into the up position.
2. Use the included bent hitch pin (12) to lock the rack in the up position (Figure 10).
3. Insert the stud of the gas shock through the hole in the wall bracket as shown below.
4. Using a 1/2” open-ended wrench to keep the stud from spinning, use the 1/2” wrench to install the
flange nut (16) and tighten (Figure 10).
5. Repeat for all shocks.

Tip: When fully assembled, your squat rack should deploy smoothly. Adjust contact points (Arrows in Figure 10.)
incrementally until you achieve optimal functionality
