Why do I need a gym attachment storage?

There are only two primary reasons why you would want to have a gym attachment storage. That is, to protect and organize your various cable attachments in your gym.

Gym attachment storage has designated places for each type of cable attachment. That way, your customers would not waste their time trying to find the right attachment to start their workout.

Some cable attachments are prone to rust, scratches, and other damage when not properly stored. The gym attachment storage would shield them from these damages.

What’s my option for gym attachment storage?

You have four choices in gym attachment storage: single or double pole, double-sided, and wall-mounted storage.

Single Pole Storage

Single poles are space saver gym attachment storage. They are made of one vertical steel rod with hangers along its length.

Most single poles can accommodate up to 22 attachments and weights 114lbs. They can be as tall as 48” and wide as 22”. Single is shipped in parts to save from logistics but they are easily assembled.

Double Pole Storage

With two vertical posts together and additional hooks and racks at the back, the double pole storage has more than double the capacity of a single pole. 

Double pole storage can weigh 125 lbs and its size at 50” x 24” (LxW). It can keep 5 of your large-sized cable attachments and 6 handles. Plus, a rack to store other accessories in your gym.

Wall-mounted Storage

For gyms that have considerably limited space, a wall-mounted gym attachment storage is the most suitable. 

They only need hooks screwed on it so you can customize how many you’ll be using. Apart from that, you can also customize the spacing of the hooks.

What should I consider when choosing a gym attachment storage?

Here are some of the factors you’d have to think over when choosing a gym attachment storage.

The Pipe

Since the pipe holds all your attachments together, it should be heavy-duty and not buckle up any time. Find these qualities of pipes in a gym attachment storage.

• With a thickness of 3mm or more
• Bended instead of welded
• With deep and sufficient welding
• Assembled with long screws

Finish

A high-quality finish means your gym attachment storage will last longer. The finish protects it from corrosion, scratches, and other external harmful conditions. 

You can have paint, powder coat, or black chrome finish for your gym storage attachment. All are effective but the last two guarantee longer protection.

Your gym storage attachment always follows a two-step process: sandblasting and powder coating.

Sand Blasting

All the surfaces of your gym attachment storage will be exposed to high-pressure sand spray to give it a smooth and clean texture. It would also help in making sure that the final coat will adhere to the metal deeply and easily.

Powder Coating

When sandblasting is finished, powder-coated paint with adhesive is sprayed on the rack. The thicker the layer of powder coating, the more protected your gym attachment storage is.

Other gym storage attachments are painted instead of powder-coated ones to save on material and labor. These painted ones are cheaper but less durable.

Dimensions

When talking about dimensions, you really need to think about if it will fit into the space of your gym. 

For gyms with very limited space, wall-mounted or single pole storage will do. But if you need more storage and your space can accommodate it, you’re better off with the double pole or double-sided storage.

Pegs and Base

Aside from being solidly constructed, the pegs and base of your chosen gym attachment storage should have enough protection.

Choose gym attachment storages with chrome or powder-coated pegs and base with rubber soles. These will ensure your equipment will last longer.

Weight Capacity

Each piece of equipment has limitations and so is the gym attachment storage. Be sure you’ve got this information from the user’s manual of the rack. If not, ask your manufacturer or supplier about it.

How is gym attachment storage made?

Manufacturing gym attachment storages follow the same process as other steel-framed equipment. But depending on the manufacturer, there might be specific processes that are done to upgrade the equipment’s quality.

A gym attachment storage follows this general manufacturing process:

• Cutting and bending of pipes into required shape and size. 
• Slicing and molding of all the horizontal surfaces such as shelves. 
• Welding and finishing of all parts. 
• Assembling, testing, and packaging the product. 

What are the materials used for manufacturing gym attachment storage?

Gym attachment storage is normally made of steel. The type of steel will differ according to the manufacturer and its geography.

For instance, Q235 steel is used by most factories in China. This material is easily molded even without the application of heat.
