I didn't see any reviews mention if this unit needs to be bolted to the floor to use. Does it?

If you're going to do any sort of kipping pullups, put some weights on the end. Otherwise it's very stable for anything else.

No, this power rack does NOT need to be bolted to the floor, as long as you place it upon a level surface. I should caution you, however, that if you take the bar holders (not the safety pins, the bar holders to rack and unrack the barbell) out from the rack and place them on the front so that you can do outside-of-the-rack work you have to be careful just how much weight you place on the barbell, depending on the height. I prefer to do standing barbell presses outside of my power rack because i have longer than average arms and i cannot lockout the barbell overhead inside of the power rack while standing. This advice is obvious, though, as loading the barbell heavy on the front-outside of the rack places all of the weight (- the power rack itself) all on one side of the rack. BUT since this rack comes with a back extension piece that holds your weights for you (instead of having to use a weight tree) as long as you place some weight on it this will counter-balance this. Of course, I'm not speaking of "little" poundages either. If you place the bar holders on the front-outside and start loading the bar up, you can go up several hundred pounds before having to even worry about any imbalances of the actual rack. THIS, obviously, has to do with how high you set the bar holders; the higher up they are the more 'top heavy' you stress the balance of the rack. You CAN bolt it to the floor but it is highly unnecessary for as long as the power rack is on a level surface it is built to last and there's honestly NO way of tipping it over unless you actually tried to do so, which obviously no one would purposely do, lol. As i've told others, i've owned several power racks in my 20 years of lifting, and this one (if it is still at the same price i paid for it) is HIGHLY recommended. I've never had ANY problems with this power rack, and i work out frequently, heavy, hard, and have given mine plenty of beatings that would've destroyed a lot of other pieces of lifting equipment. Hope this helps =-)

No it doesn't need to be bolted to the ground. In the rear there are 2 rods that you can put some Olympic weights on to keep it from moving. The unit also has some nice rubber feet that keep it from sliding.

No this unit does not need to be bolted to the floor. it seems very solid just sitting on the ground.
2086047
No it does not but I like to store my plates on the back and that adds even more stability.
2086048
No, this unit works fine standalone. Very sturdy for the price, i'm very happy with the stability on a pad.

No need to bolt to floor, as it is heavy metal and well balanced to hold the bars and wight without tipping over. I had the same question, but chanced ordering th rack. It is a solid piece of equipment that I am proud of. Solid, sturdy, and stable. Very pleased with rack.

my rack is sitting on a concrete floor and it does move a little bit when you got heavy weight to rack.Putting some weight on the rods at the rear of the unit will take care of that.

Mine did not. It Came with four plastic discs that keep it one inch or so off floor

Hello Jill and thank you for your interest in our product. The base of this specific unit has pre-drilled holes to firmly attach it to a counter. All the necessary hardware is included with the purchase to bolt down the unit to a flat surface. Please feel free to contact me for further assistance. Thanks again Andrea

Not sure you are asking about. The unit I purchased was placed on a concrete slab. It came in several sections that snap together. There was also attachment points to add concrete screws to keep the floor anchored. The side panels snap to the floor panels. I was skeptical but when the building is completely put together the floor etc is very strong.

I think it does not need it. But instructions say ground wire is highly recommended. My take: since there is circuitry imbedded in the unit, the ground keeps it from getting fried. I wouldn't install without ground.

Mine sits on a shelf, it works fine. It is easy to move. There are four mounting holes on the bottom that can be used to hold it in place. It is recommended that it be mounted on the floor for extra security. Mounting bolts are included.

Yes it does. It has an upside down botton to make sure its on th floor. When unpressed by the weight of unit it shuts off

Mine did...it slides on the top of the foot platform and screws down to keep from moving.

It's not attached to the ceiling and doesn't need to be screwed into the floor. The easiest way to explain it is to think of a shower curtain rod. Tension on both ends holds it in place.

Yes, to the floor. Mine isn't attached except for the faucet pipes, but there is a hole in the bottom of each leg.

No. It is bolted. I am no expert but I would be cautious about one that was not bolted together....that it would be in danger of collapsing with weight on it.

You do not absolutely need to bolt it down, BUT do you really want to put something like a TV on a moving shelf that is not secure to it's foundation. Will it move and swivel without securing it to something . . . YES, is it very risky to do so . . . YES, would I recommend it . . . NO.

It has all of the connections and it does not need to be mounted. It just sets on the floor.

For the most part, yes. Wheels need to be installed if you wish to roll it around. Since air is drawn in from the bottom the wheels serve to raise the unit which allows for better clearance and air flow from floor, rugs etc.

It must be bolted or screwed down. You may want to mount it to a separate board so you don't have to drill holes in you table or counter.

Yes, so long as it's a wood floor. Unit is heavy - 50lbs. You may need help positioning unit on bolt attachment
