When I shifted PTC last week, we chucked our commercial rack on a trailer and took it to the ground.
When we got there, it wouldnt fit through the doors. We left it and went back to get another load.
When we got back to the ground, the players had already pulled it down and were assembling it. When it was finished, they called me over and told me it was stuffed, it was rocking like an ACDC concert.
These guys are mainly tradies. I had them loosen the whole lot off, straighten it, then do the bolts up again evenly, like you do a wheel on a car or a cylinder head.
We knew the rack was plumb because we were using at PTC for so long. Anyone is welcome to come check out how straight and plumb they are at PTC.
Maybe Sean could offer assembly for guys in Vic that arent good with tools?

he put it together 10 times with trying with the bolts loosened and everything, it could just be that the rack is faulty..great rack nevertheless
Don't know if it was mentioned, but there was a few hundred dollars of extra product provided and delivered to accept the rack as it were.
Still can't be 100% sure it was a fault/defect, and if so, the whole rack was not faulty, it would have been the end plate on just 1 post or 1 crossbeam, which could have been replaced if absolutely required to function.
The rack is perfectly functional now and as mentioned, agreed compensation for time and minor adjustment to rack was provided.

I'm fine with tools, it actually was a faulty upright (the base plate is not flush which causes it to lean forward). The washes push the upright back into a flush position.
That said, it is a great rack.
I was not sure if you wanted me to mention the extra mat's you threw in with my second shipment of goods as compensation. But now you have mentioned it I would like to thank you on the forum for that. I was happy with the way the hulk handled the situation. Some companies would just blame the end user as their default position. Whereas the hulk helped with debugging what was actually wrong. I followed his suggestions to the letter.
Its a fantastic rack, and perhaps I was just unlucky with the issues I had. PTC certainly hasn't had any issues with his.
I would still recommend this rack even given the issues I had.

12 weeks out from ProRawOne, the guys started their programs for it.
Alen, Dave, Dim and James are all competing and have picked their goal weights.
Everything went to plan, James aside, they will be lifting 4 days a week.
Mon & Friday bench press, Wednesday squat and Saturday deadlifts.

Nick,
Nice lift mate. Couldn't really see what your depth was like but it looked a fraction shallow. Looked like about the same depth I went to on my 140kg squat recent PB, but again hard to tell with that footage. I'm going to add box squats to make sure I sit right back and down. I've been lowering slowly all the way to horizontal then doing the quick drop into the hole and bounce out to try and make sure I break horizontal. Depth is still and issue. I'll try and get a vid up.
Awesome looking rack Markos!
Cheers,
Mike
