How the Crossbar Works

  • Durable construction: Approx. 1.5" diameter anodized aluminum for added strength.

  • Weight rating: Uprights and crossbars are rated to carry 35 lb (22.65 kg) evenly distributed across the crossbar.

How the Adjustable Upright Works

The slip-lock collar assembly automatically secures the inner pole once raised to your desired height. As downward pressure is applied, the ball-taper lock mechanism tightens for a stable hold. The greater the downward force, the stronger the lock.

How to Adjust

  1. Raise: Lift the inner pole to your desired height—it locks automatically.
  2. Secure: Add vertical weight and the mechanism tightens to hold firmly in place.
  3. Release: Slightly raise the inner pole and lift the release ring to disengage.
  4. Safety: Always hold the inner pole firmly when raising or lowering.
