Overview of the TITAN 8 Bag boxing stand

The TITAN 8 bag boxing stand is the biggest boxing stand you can get from TITAN. If you have space and can bolt it to the ground it is a solid tool to get more bags up in a commercial gym with high ceilings. In other scenarios, it is probably overkill. The full specifications of this stand are:

- Easy bolt together design.

- Holds up to 8 bags of any size.

- 360-degree access to each bag.

- 8 Eye hooks to hang bags.

- Can be collapsed into a 4 bag stand.

- Height: 8-ft

- Footprint: 12-ft x 6-ft

- Base Plates: 6-in x 4-in

- Material: 3-in x 3-in steel tubing.

- Capacity: 300 lbs. per Hook | 2400 lbs.total

- Weight: 405 lbs.

This is a massive rig to hang bags on which leaves you with a solid foundation and a lot of space to work with your boxing clients.

Pros of the TITAN 8 Bag boxing stand

The pros of the TITAN 8 bag boxing stand are:

Many eyehooks
Space to circle the bags
Solid rig

This is a solid solution and I especially like it because you can work with different bag configurations to maximize free movement around them. If you want to hang a lot of bags whilst having the space to navigate around them, then this is the best you can get from TITAN.

Cons of the TITAN 8 bag boxing stand

The cons of the 8 Bag boxing stand from TITAN are:

Size
Price

Do you really need 8 bags in your gym and want to pay about $1000 just to have a station to hang them on? I think for most people and commercial gyms the answer will be no. Especially, if the ceilings are low and you can use them to hang bags.

Alternatives to the TITAN 8 bag boxing stand

The alternatives for the TITAN 8 bag boxing bag are:

Out of the entire TITAN boxing stand line up, I like this one the least. The reason os that the uprights are too close to the bags in this setup. It limits how you can move around the bag even though you are paying extra bucks to them mounted. If you need a lot of bags, go for the 8 bag stand and leave some space. If you want to hang 4 bags, get two of the two bag heavy stands from TITAN so you can decide how far you want to put them apart.

The heavy-duty 2 bag stand is a great option to hang four bags but with more space between the individual bags. With this you can move freely around the bags, while still being able to hang some pretty heavy ones.

Conclusion for the TITAN 8 bag boxing stand

The 8 bag heavy stand is a great option when you want to hang a lot of bags in your gym while still being able to circle around them

Overview and review of the TITAN power weighted sled with leash and harness

This is an overview of the TITAN power weighted sled with leash and harness including pros, cons, and alternatives. This article was originally published in Which cardio equipment to get from TITAN. Follow the links for more details.

Overview of the TITAN Power weighted sled with leash and harness

The TITAN power weighted sled with a leash and harness is one of the cheapest and smallest sleds you can get from TITAN. The best feature about this sled is the loading pin which can be flipped down. This makes the sled an item you can take anywhere without too much hassle. The full specifications of this sled are:

- Use with Olympic plates

- Includes leash/harness

- Use on grass, carpet, or concrete

- Little assembly required

- Max capacity: 500 lb

- Powder Coated finish

- Weight: 37 LBS

- Width: 16"

- Length: 24"

- Leash / harness length: 10 ft.

There is little you can do wring with this sled, especially if you only use small weights and focus on acceleration from a starting stance.

Pros of the TITAN Power weighted sled with leash and harness

The pros of this sled are:

Ready to use package
Price
collapsible pin

With this package, you get everything you need to get going once it arrives at your doorstep, as long as you have some plates. This saves you the hassle and money to look for a harness and leash which match and can be hooked to the sled.

The price of this sled is minimal and therefore can turn it into an item to not put too much thought into for someone who serious about their own gym or training a team. Get it, use, test it, break it, or abandon it. You will not cry too many tears about an $80 purchase for your fitness.

The very special nice touch about this sled is that you can put down the loading pin. With this, you can easily transport it in a car or a truck to use it on a nearby hill.

Cons of the TITAN Power weighted sled with leash and harness

The cons of the TITAN weighted sled with a leash and harness are:

Small maximum load
Can topple over
No attachments
Direct contact with the ground

This sled is rather small and will therefore not take a lot of weight. You only have one loading pin where other models in the market have up to four depending on what you are willing to invest.

The loading pin for this model is a little too high for the base which means that it can topple over easier than other sleds when you do not pull it in a straight line. If you load it heavily this won't be an issue, but for light sprinting loads this can get annoying.

This sled will not take any extra attachments unless you weld them on.

This sled operates with direct contact to the ground with no plastic buffer in between. If you use it on rock or concrete it will suffer and ultimately break and you have to replace the entire unit, rather than just the plastic feet. You can fix this with a bit of DIY or just replace it as this is not the end of the world.

Alternatives to the TITAN Power weighted sled with leash and harness

Alternatives to the TITAN power weighted sled with leash and harness are:

The TITAN pro sled system gives you a stable sled with plastic feet and the option to use multiple attachments. This is the right sled for the home gym owner who wants to take it seriously but not spent the money on Rogue Fitness equipment. It can have some minor issues with the finish on delivery as with most TiTAN products, but that will not be an issue if you are willing to put some elbow grease in. For professional athletes, I would recommend the Rogue Dogsled 1.2 instead.

The low bar push pull drag sled is slightly more expensive than the weighted sled. the two big advantages are that it can be used bi-directionally and has low handles to also push and pull the sled without a harness.

The TITAN heavy-duty sled is the right choice for strongmen and big linemen who want to save money and train with heavy loads at their home. In a professional setting, I would recommend the Rogue butcher as an alternative for this purpose. This sled is hard to transport and store.

The XPO trainer 2 is the high-end solution for sleds. If you can afford and store it is the best sled to be used in a suburban area to just push it around the pavement or local street. The resistance increases the harder you push it which makes it great for interval training. It is not great for lineman or strongman training as the initial resistance is very easy to overcome which defeats the point for this type of training.

The Rogue Dogsled 1.2 has a lot of different attachments and will stay stable in use as it has multiple plastic feet. It is bigger than the TITAN weighted sled and can therefore take more plates without the risk of falling over. It will be harder to store in a car or truck, as the loading pin con not be folded down and the overall construction is bigger.

The Rogue Echo sled is the low-cost option of the dogsled 1.2. It will not have as many attachments available to you as the dogsled 1.2 and in return cost less. Compared to the power weighted sled with a leash and harness, the Rogue echo sled is bigger, more expensive, and harder to transport. In return, you can haul bigger loads and use it easier in both directions.

Conclusion for the TITAN Power weighted sled with leash and harness

The power weighted sled with a leash and harness is the small little companion you can take everywhere with you. It does not cost a lot and is compact. There is not really a lot you can do wrong here if you only want to do haul some extra weight somewhere outdoors. For the serious athlete that uses the sled in a gym environment or on a pitch the TITAN Pro Sled, Rogue Dogsled 1.2, or Rogue Echo Sled might be a better option, given the budget allows for it.
