Match attachment and rack

Tube size and hole diameter are not enough; verify mounting face, pin, spacing and official rack list.

Single-upright designs are compact but place bodyweight away from the post.

Control leverage and clearance

Two-upright designs distribute the interface but occupy both sides.

Follow anchoring or front-foot requirements; stored plates do not replace required fixing.

Set a height for safe entry, controlled depth and floor clearance without jumping.

Plan use and storage

Confirm handle diameter, angle and usable width; a V-shape changes grip width.

Cycle cables, Smith parts, safeties, J-cups and doors, including removal space.

Document storage, pin and liner inspection, approved load and setup sequence.
