Bag stand 208 cm

The stand for heavy bags. Where most free standing supports top out around 80 kg / 176 lb, this one takes up to 150 kg / 331 lb: you can hang a 180 cm / 71 in bag filled without compromise. And since the ballast weights are supplied, it is stable from the first round, with nothing more to buy.

150 kg / 331 lb working load

The reinforced steel frame with its powder-coated finish — a paint baked on as a powder, far more resistant to scratches and corrosion than a standard lacquer — takes a bag up to 150 kg / 331 lb. That is the deciding figure if you are after a long, heavy bag, or if several people strike it daily: club, gym, association.

Stability: ballast supplied, suction pads and angled upright

Three arrangements work together against sway:

• Ballast pegs on the base: they take the 4 weights supplied — and also accept your own weight plates to go further.
• Suction pads under the feet: they grip the floor and protect the surface, wooden floors included.
• Angled rear upright: it takes the backward thrust and prevents tipping on heavy strikes.

Free standing: no drilling

No fixing to the floor or the wall. No load-bearing wall to find, no ceiling to drill, no landlord to ask: this is the answer for tenants and for every situation where hanging a bag from the structure is not possible.

Tie-down rings and resistance bands

The base has anchor rings that do two jobs. First, tying down the bottom of the bag: strapping it towards the floor sharply reduces swing and makes heavy strikes more realistic. Second, hooking on resistance bands for conditioning work between rounds without extra kit.

208 x 143 x 126 cm / 82 x 56 x 50 in

The stand is 208 cm / 82 in tall, on a footprint of 143 x 126 cm / 56 x 50 in. That height suits the great majority of domestic ceilings and lets a long bag hang clear of the floor. The base, more compact than that of the pull-up bar models, tucks into a corner of a garage, a living room or a gym.

Quick assembly, complete set

The stand is supplied complete: frame, 4 ballast weights, fasteners and quick assembly instructions. Putting it together needs no special tools.

Fitting and use

• Fit the 4 weights during assembly: they are part of the stability, not an optional extra.
• Tie the bottom of the bag to the base rings to limit swing and work closer in.
• Allow the room: 143 x 126 cm / 56 x 50 in on the floor, plus space to move around the bag.
• Protect the floor: the suction pads already spare the surface; a mat underneath damps vibration as well.
• Re-check the fasteners after the first sessions, then periodically: vibration loosens joints over time.
