Soft Bar Catch

Unlike steel safeties, the wide nylon straps soften the catch instead of creating a loud metal-on-metal crash. They protect your barbell’s knurling and finish while keeping your home or gym environment calm and controlled.

Smart Angle Control

Adjust the front and back brackets at different heights to guide the bar away from your body during failed reps. This creates a natural “roll out” effect, an extra safety layer that feels reassuring, especially during bench press or heavy squats.

Built for Big Weight

Each strap is made from reinforced heavy-duty webbing rated for serious load. Paired with thick steel brackets and a solid pin system, they’re engineered to hold far more weight than you’ll ever put on the bar, giving you long-term durability you can trust.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are safety straps for a squat rack?
Safety straps are a barbell safety system that catches the bar during missed reps. They’re a softer, quieter alternative to steel safety pins and help protect your barbell and rack from damage.

Are safety straps better than safety pins or spotter arms?
For many lifters, yes. Straps reduce noise, protect barbell knurling, and allow a natural bar path. They also let you angle the straps so the bar rolls away from you—something steel safeties can’t do.

Will these safety straps fit my rack?
Our straps are designed for metric 3x3 racks with 5/8" holes. If your rack matches these dimensions, the system will fit perfectly. If you're unsure, measure your upright and hole size before ordering.

How much weight can the safety straps hold?
Each strap is rated for 10,000 lb, giving the pair a combined rating of 20,000 lb—far more than any barbell lift you’ll perform.

Are safety straps safe for bench press?
Absolutely. Many athletes prefer them for bench because they allow you to angle the straps, helping the bar roll forward and away from your neck in the event of a failed rep.

Do safety straps protect my barbell finish?
Yes. Nylon is softer than steel, so it won’t chip Cerakote, chrome, or bare steel bars. It also helps preserve the knurling.

How do I install and adjust the straps?
To adjust the straps, simply remove one bolt, undo the strap, and slide the bracket over the upright. Once it’s in place, insert it into any hole at your desired height and you’re set. For quicker adjustments, use the two included safety pins—this lets you move or remove the straps without taking out the bolt every time.

Can I use safety straps for squats inside the rack?
Yes. The straps support heavy squats and let you set the perfect height so you can safely push your limits without fear of getting pinned.
