What is the shortest length you can use is as. I seen in videos that its 3 long bars to connect, can you use just to use 2 instead?

Jonathan, the 8' version is comprised of TWO bars, not three. So, 8' is the minimum length for this version of the crane. You can ADD another optional section and make it a 12' unit. It will take some effort to learn to use this well, so don't take a commercial gig before you do some substantial practice. I would also recommend the ball bearing pan adapter though it can be used without. Hope this helps. Johnny.

It has been designed to be used as an 8 ft unit......if you want something shorter then look at the 4 ft version.

Yes, you can use 2, some bundles come with all 3 sections, you can buy the extra (3rd Bar) for around $125.00.

Este jib sólo tiene 2 secciones! This Jib crane only got 2 section, if you saw 3 it was for the extension! But it not came with set.

I own this crane and the DVC60, the 4ft model. This crane is two pieces. You must use both 4ft pieces on the DVC210 to make it 8ft. You cannot use just one piece to make it equivalent to the DVC60, the 4ft model. I also separately purchased from Proamusa.com a 4ft extension which extends the DVC210 to 12ft.

I would say too short, I used it for a 14' & just looking there is maybe 4 or 5" left over! Hope this helps!

I think most bars that hold weight on each end are 35lbs. I didnt weigh it. Just a suggestion, get the weight set w it, n u can change the weights

I don't see why you couldn't do this BUT you will want to check any electricity limits to be sure. I probably wouldn't use a bar extension with more than 3 plug-ins just to be on the safe side.

You could always bolt longer bars to the current ones. Make your own bars out of wood or metal. In most cases still cheaper than the Thule version.

Haven't needed to do this. Here's my guess. First, just install it and try it. Maybe it will work at that short distance. If it doesn't, just pull at least two feet of each line thru its hole in the cross bar, and tie a new knot. The system will "think" you've pulled the pull bar two or more feet. When you actually pull the bar 11 feet, the system will "think" you've pulled the bar 13 feet and should work. Good luck. Try at your own risk.

Hello Elizabeth, I recommend using a 45 lb bar a standard 8 foot. I hope this help you, take care.

I'm very interested in this set as I used to lift weights years ago but I may not be as dedicated as I once was so I can't see springing for an Olympic bar that will cost just about half of what the entire setup cost. To those who checked out Gold's Gym website and viewed the pdf manual, it clearly says that you have a choice of making the squat rack fit shorter and Olympic bars. I just wanted to be as sure as possible before I made this purchase. I just may go ahead and get this but order the 7' standard bar.Thanks for all your input with my questions.

Thanks Justin, I appreciate the feedback.Do you know if the cables are proprietary, meaning that you cannot use a longer cable?

Thank you for your question. The longest piece is the bars, that when disconnected is 21" in length

Yes, if you apply a gentle pull the bar pulls from the bracket and you can then cut it to length. I did this for one of my locations.

I wouldn't think you need the instructions. The smaller bars, 8 of them I think, connect for your 4 sides. The bigger bars will be your top and bottom. It's pretty simple.

It is a bit of guess work. start wt the longest and work down to the shortest to get the length you want. I do wish they had a couple of more sizes.

Depends on the width of your bars and how far apart you set them. I have mine on standard hybrid/mountain bars, so they're still perfectly usable. If you were to put them on a narrow set of road bars, you'd probably have more of an issue.

These bars need to be screwed to the wall. They can be "chained" together, though. Not sure if that answers your question, as it appears to be truncated.

I do not know if the connectors can be removed. I am not where I can check it out for you. The shortest length is on the website in the specs. Thnaks for the answers Johnathan, didn't see your post before posting.

I use a 5' bar, and it works just fine. Gets kinda wobbly with too much weight.
