COMPACT GYM LIFESAVER
Sometimes, the best does come in small packages - we took our best-selling Utility Barbell and (literally) trimmed some off the top, while still allowing it to be racked in a power rack up to 49 inches wide.

PORTABLE MEETS PRACTICAL
It's just 69 inches long! Squat and bench in a tight space. Do landmine exercises where you otherwise couldn't. Store it in a Vertical Bar Holder, despite having 8-foot ceilings (we see you, basement dweller).

SMALL SIZE, ALL THE POWER
Everything you expect from a quality Olympic barbell just 17.6 inches shorter. And thanks to its 900-pound capacity, you can still chase that 800-pound deadlift with room to spare.
Product Details
The Short Rackable Utility Bar is where portability meets practicality. Whether you're lifting in a broom closet under the stairs (is that you, Harry?) or looking to optimize the usability of your Hydra Trident Station, a short rackable barbell is a saving grace for a space-constrained home gym.
We took our best-selling Utility Barbell and literally trimmed some off the top, while still allowing it to be racked in a power rack up to 49 inches wide.
This means you also get its most beloved features; versatile 28.5mm diameter, dual knurl markings, centre knurl for better grip on squats, and a durable black zinc coating. We even matched the sleeve finish for an all-black look that'll turn heads.
The shorter version is more practical for deadlifts and the Olympic lifts; but with its 900lb capacity and rackable feature, this one takes the cake for squats and bench presses in tight quarters.
IMPORTANT: The Short Rackable Utility Bar is rackable in a power rack up to 49 inches wide, which allows 1.375" of racking space on each side of the bar. For a NON-rackable version, check out the Short Utility Bar.

I workout in a tight space and this bar is perfect for that.
Bells of Steel Canada1 month agoHey Andrew, Thanks for the 5 star review, the short rackable bar has been a favourite among our residential customers and others tight on space who still want the feel of a traditional bar. Happy Lifting! Let the gainzz begin!! BOS Crew - DBDonovan B.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars2 months agoPerfect for smaller home gyms.
Started out with the women’s Olympic bar because it’s shorter than the standard bar (and my wife is quite small), but still had to move around the sleeves more than I wanted in the relatively small room my power rack is in (Light Commercial rack).
This bar shaves off a bunch more length, and paired with the calibrated plates, I won’t be maxing out the sleeves anytime soon.
Plus it looks great.
Bells of Steel Canada2 months agoHey Donovan, Thanks for the 5 star review, we agree that the short rackable barbell is great! Definitely a hidden gem for home gyms with limited space. Yours in strength, BOS Crew - RWrobert w.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars2 months agoGREAT PRODUCT

This bar is perfect for me and my girlfriend. We have a personal gym in our basement and have been looking for a bar for quite some time and this is the nicest, most affordable and functional bar we could ask for.
Bells of Steel CanadaHi Zach, Thank you so much for the great review of our short rackable utility bar. We are so glad you are happy with your new barbell and we hope it serves you well. Yours in strength, Marcus & the BoS team
