What “Professional Rated” means at elitefts

Some racks are built to look good online.
Professional Rated racks are built to survive real weight rooms.

Professional Rated indicates an elitefts power rack built to meet higher performance standards in key areas:

Load Capacity
Built to hold serious weight under real training conditions.

Stability
Designed to stay solid with heavy use, heavy athletes, and daily abuse.

Repeated Use
Because the difference between “home gym good” and “team room good” is volume.

Fit & Finish
A clean, professional look with options for custom branding and a room you’re proud of.

If you’re building for a school, team, or commercial facility, this is what matters.
