This rack is awesome. It’s the perfect depth at 30 inches (interior working space) to fit nicely on a 4x8 plywood platform. I am very happy with it. I got the pin and pipe safeties and put rubber tube from HD to protect the barbell knurl - it makes it a lot quieter if you need to set the bar down or fail a lift. Also, I prefer that it’s welded sides for simple set up and it allows the side cross members to be completely at the top so I can press inside the rack. One thing to keep in mind is that if you get the top stabilizer bar it is tricky to get it to be flush due to the welds. I put it 3 inches from the top on the back to get it flat against the uprights. Works great. I would recommend this rack 10/10.

Just got this rack and there is only one downside. Because it is welded and not bolted together you can only get some of the crossmembers so square because the welds collide with either the plate or each other. I get it real close, but if your looking for perfect, it may not happen for you.

Great rack. 30” depth provides a ton of working room without being overkill, and the extra working height over the standard R-3 is great as it allows me to overhead press inside the rack at 6’ tall (pin presses become an option). Went with the Fortis over the standard RM-3 because I wanted the welded panels. The only drawback is that the rear crossmember can’t sit perfectly flush against the upright due to the weld. At first I bolted it all tight, but due to the weld creating a wider gap at the top than the bottom, this created an angle and the uprights were not level. A quick listening up and a few measurements later, she’s perfectly squared. Even with a small gap at the bottom of the rear crossing due to the weld, bolted to an OSB/rubber platform this thing is incredibly solid. Zero play front to back, and minimal side to side play even on rubber mats with a raised diamond pattern. Happy I went with the Fortis. For those unaware, I’m not sure what type of metal they make the pipes out of, but my bar was unscathed when doing a test roll across them for the bench press. The bar left indentions in the pipe, but was unscathed itself. Pretty clever by Rogue to protect the bar. And last thing, this rack is ridiculously overbuilt. I kept laughing as I pulled pieces out of the box. Unless I mistreat the rack and let it rust to bits, I can’t imagine ever needing a new rack in my lifetime.

Very nice and easy to put together. 2 complaints are if you order fat/skinny bar it doesn’t come with a top cross member and the rack can be pretty wobbly. The second is that there were some pretty major cosmetic damages and super glue all over one of the racks I got in, I didn’t report it because I didn’t feel like going through the hassle of figuring out how to send it back. Other than that an overall good product but I would suggest getting a cross member.

Love the rack it is fantastic. Just not sure if I can extend it down the line or not

After having an RM4 for a little over two years that was bolted to my 8’ x 8’ platform I chose to “downgrade” to the RM3 Fortis. Spending hundreds of training sessions on the RM4 I came to realize the 43” depth is overkill and then some for me. The extra rack space was not worth the limited deadlift space on the platform. The RM3 Fortis 30” depth is still more than enough to squat with and the extra deadlift space has been incredible. The welded uprights are also very easy to move around and make assembly much easier. Not to mention it is even more sturdy than my RM4 was. I think if you have a garage gym, will bolt your rack to a platform, and train for general strength or powerlifting this is the perfect power rack.

i have used this rack for 2 years and found it to be simple outstanding. i have a small garage gym so i chose the RM-3 instead of the RM-4 . my wife and i use the rack for different purposes, i compete in multiply Powerlifting so i needed a rack that was built like a tank and could be equipped with mono-lift attachments and safety straps. my wife is a climber so she needed one that could host a myriad of pull up options. we both required a rack that would support recovery/rehab attachments. the RM-3 did all of this perfectly, not to mention the shipping was fast and reasonable and the assembly was easy. i rate this rack 5 stars for the following reasons 1. shipping and assembly, easy. 2. versatility, nearly limitless. 3. space saving without compromising utility. 4. price point allows for quality mods. 5. like most monster racks this could become a gym in itself if neccessary.
