Overview of the T3 black power rack

 
This is the biggest version of the T3 rack you can get from TITAN. It has 2x3 tubing and is 36” deep. The height comes to 91 1/8”. This is a no-nonsense addition to any gym located in the middle of the price range of TITAN. If you want to have money left for other equipment and only use the rack 2 times a week, this is a great piece to add to your home gym. In a professional gym, this can be the go-to rack for everyone except your biggest athletes, unless you coach an NFL team. The features and specifics of the T3 tall rack are: 
 
 
  • 2 uprights featuring 6" side hole spacing
  • 2"x 3" steel tubes. 
  • 1,100 LB rackable capacity
  • 4,400 LB total rack capacity
  • 1.25" and 2" diameter pull up bars
  • Includes J-Hooks and weight holders.
  • Weight: 281 LB 
  • Height: 91 1/8" 
  • Height of Pull Up Bar: 89"

  • Outside Width: 53 1/4"  
  • Inside Depth: 36"
  • Outside Depth: 44 3/4"  
  • Floor Space: 16.7 square feet
  • Material: Steel
 
This is an affordable rack for big boys. 
 

Pros of the T3 tall rack 

 
As with most TITAN equipment the prices are very attractive for something fresh of the shelf. With the depth and height of this rack, even the tallest athletes can still work freely in the rack. 
 

Cons of the T3 tall rack 

 
It will not fit in every space. If you have limitations consider the X3 Half rack or squat stand. Also, the finish might be not as perfect as with other vendors as there have been repeated reports of TITAN equipment showing inconsistencies on this end. 
 

Alternatives to the T3 tall rack 

 
Alternatives to the T3 tall rack are 
 
 
If you need a tall rack because of your size, but do not have the space to fit a 36” depth rack into your gym, garage or basement you can also opt for the 24” depth version. This way you can save some space. 
 
If you want to save space and have 3x3 steel tubing you can also go for the X3 Half rack. If you use it like a squat stand rather than a full rack, you can use the second set of uprights to store plates on. 
 
If you don’t need plate storage and want the freedom of a squat stand you can opt for the  X3 squat stand instead. Just be aware that it would be good to have space to drop the bar as spotter arms can not always be relied on. 
 

Summary of the T3 tall rack 

 
A good option to save money while still training as a big guy.
