Product Details

Upgrade your Hydra Squat Stand into a more capable, space-efficient half rack—without starting from scratch.


Why Upgrade to a Half Rack?


  • Same footprint, way more capability - Keep your compact setup while unlocking a full range of rack functionality.
  • Train two sides at once - Use front and rear uprights simultaneously—great for partners or supersets.
  • More attachments, more versatility - Add plate storage, cable systems, and rear-mounted accessories.
  • Cleaner, smarter storage - Get plates off the floor and onto your rack with weight pegs.
  • More stability where it counts - Added structure = a more planted feel under heavy lifts.
  • Expand as you go - Modular design lets you keep upgrading without replacing your rack.

Shipping & Returns

We get it — shipping heavy gym gear raises some important questions. Here’s exactly what to expect:

Flat-Rate Shipping: Most orders ship for much less, but no matter how big your setup gets, you’ll never pay over $199 CAD for shipping in Canada. Some conditions apply for rural or Northern addresses.

Shipping Time: Orders ship within 1–3 business days and usually arrive within 3–7 business days (during sales events, delivery may take up to 2 additional business days).

Fulfilled from our Calgary or Toronto warehouses. Local to either city? Pick up in-store and skip the shipping fees!

Returns: All Bells of Steel products are backed by our 30-day return policy. If you don’t love your order, send it back — simple and stress-free.

Warranty & Guarantees

Limited Lifetime Warranty

Every power rack comes with a Limited Lifetime warranty. We design our gear to last through years of serious training, but if something ever goes wrong due to a defect in materials or workmanship, we’ve got your back.

Here’s the gist:

Product Details

Your squat stand was a great first date. This is the glow-up.

The Squat Stand to Half Rack Conversion Kit upgrades your setup with rear uprights and crossmembers—giving you more stability, more storage, and way more ways to train, without eating up extra space.

Re-racking heavy lifts feels more solid. Attachments hit different. And your rack? Way less “minimalist,” way more “do-it-all.”

Load it up with plate storage, add cables, run bands, or train front and back at the same time. The Hydra ecosystem is built to grow with you—so you’re never boxed in.

Why replace the whole rack when you can just… make it better?

Like all Hydra and Manticore gear, this upgrade is fully modular. Today it’s a half rack. Tomorrow, who knows—full rack, cable tower, lifting empire.

Built from 3” x 3”, 11-gauge steel with 5/8” to 1" holes (depending on your mythical beast rack of choice), it plays nice with a massive range of attachments.

Built like a tank (because it is). Same heavy-duty steel, same durable powder coat, same confidence under heavy weight.
