What’s the difference between a Squat Rack, Power Rack and a Power Cage?
Nothing at all! They are different names for the exact same piece of gym equipment.
What is the difference in squat rack quality?
Quality can vary a lot. The thickness of steel used on power racks will vary from 1.5 mm (17 gauge) to 4 mm (8 gauge). Domestic grade racks use 1.5 mm to 2 mm thick steel. Higher-grade commercial power racks don’t use adjustable J hooks or bar catchers to hold barbells; they use gun racks. They are referred to as gun racks as they are similar in design to racks used to display or store guns. That’s all. Again the quality of these also varies, and they should be at least 4mm thick. If they are too thin, they will bend or fail under heavy loads, which could be disastrous.
The other thing to look at is whether the frame is mainly welded together or bolted together, as cheaper models will be mainly held together with bolts rather than welding of joints as it’s cheaper to manufacture them this way. Still, it does compromise the strength and safety of the power rack.
