Best Kettlebell Racks
Kettlebells are certainly a lot more compact than regular fitness equipment. However, if you have a large collection of kettlebells or kettlebell sets, it might be time to invest in a kettlebell rack. Usually consisting of 2 to 4 tiers, a rack will help clear up precious floor space so you can exercise more freely. It is also possible to put a rack in a closet to allow for a hidden but accessible storage area.
This list has been updated to include heavy duty kettlebell racks as well as budget and corner kettlebell racks. Depending on the size of your collection, you may need to store only a few or perhaps many kettlebells. Floor space must also be considered as larger bench-style racks might make for a tight fit in small rooms.
Some of the racks featured on this list are also not exclusive to kettlebell weights. There are plenty of combo weight racks available that do a great job of securely holding your kettlebells. Since many kettlebells can quickly add to the overall weight of a rack, it is important to choose one that can handle all of them. The last thing you want is for the rack to collapse and cause any damage or injury.
Now, this is a rack for the serious lifter! You won’t find many that have 3 legs for extra support. Because of this, it’s capacity is able to handle a whopping 1,000 lbs. Great if you have a bunch of monster kettlebells or lots of medium to large-sized weights.
Synergee uses the word sexy to describe their rack. It’s hard to disagree with that assessment. The texture of the anti-slip liner not only looks sleek but also prevents your kettlebells from shifting around. You could probably sprint laps around this rack without causing any movement from vibration.
If you’re the type of person who loathes assembly then you’ll surely appreciate the quick set up time of this rack. Everything needed to put it together is included and will only take minutes to complete. Easy-to-follow instructions will have you ready to organize your kettlebells in no time.
Kettlebell Rack Features:
- Supports Up To 1000 Lbs. – 3 Legs for support make this rack stand out from all the others.

Keep all of your weights close by during your exercise routines. No need to go to a back room to retrieve additional kettlebells.
The powder coated steel construction ensures that each shelf is plenty durable to withstand large amounts of weight. A back lip provides a guard on the edge to prevent kettlebells from accidentally being knocked over. Additionally, a rubber-lined surface helps keep each kettlebell from rolling around when set down.
This rack does have the option of being bolted to the floor for additional security. You may also use it to hold dumbbells or other small fitness equipment with a flat base.
Kettlebell Rack Features:

There are many options to choose from with CAP Barbell’s selection of kettlebell racks. In the above photos, you see the super-wide 86″ (7 feet!) two-tier rack and the more compact 46″ kettlebell stand. Not pictured is the ultra-compact 20″ kettlebell stand. Each of these racks can be purchased with or without kettlebells.
Both the 86″ and 46″ racks have a low-lift height of just 32″. This makes it easy to grab-and-go if you’re the type of person who likes to mix up their kettlebell weights in a single workout session. The rubber-lined trays help to protect the finish of the racks ensuring that they’ll keep their professional look. Either would be a good choice for personal home use or local gyms.
In regards to weight capacity, you can expect to hold up to 500 lbs. on the 86″ rack. For the 46″ rack, there is the option of purchasing it with a 260 lb. kettlebell set. Although the description also states it can hold up to 500 lbs, I’d recommend checking with CAP if you want to store that amount of weight on this shorter rack.
Kettlebell Rack Features:
- Variety of Choices – 3 two-tier kettlebell racks of 20″, 46″, and 86″ can be bought with or without kettlebells included.

Also constructed of 11-gauge steel, the wider bottom shelf is suitable for larger sized kettlebells while the top shelf may hold smaller and medium-sized bells.

Heavy Duty Kettlebell Rack Roundup
If you already have a sizeable kettlebell collection, a heavy duty rack will provide some much-needed organization. The Body-Solid Kettlebell and Dumbbell Rack is a popular choice that won’t break the bank. However, CAP Barbell’s wide range of rack lengths offers great flexibility depending on your storage needs.
Kettlebell veterans who own monster kettlebells will likely gravitate towards Rogue’s Universal Storage System. Capable of holding over 1,000 lbs., this rack blows all the others out of the water. It’s all about personal needs as well as planning for the future. Keep that in mind if you decide to expand your kettlebell set later on!
Manufactured by SPRI, 3 tiers give enough space to hold a moderate kettlebell collection of small to medium-sized weights. Due to the size of the bottom plate/shelf, it is suggested the heaviest set of kettlebells be placed there. For load-balancing purposes, the higher the shelf the less amount of weight is supported. By my calculations, expect to hold up to 250 lbs. in weight.
Personally, I love how this rack is able to be placed in a closet and still remain accessible. At 42″ in height and weighing just 45 lbs, placing this triangular rack in tight spaces is no problem at all. Perhaps the only questionable design choice is the plated logo at the top. That space may have been better served as a spot for accessories.
Kettlebell Rack Features:
- 3 Tiers – Store small kettlebells on the top shelf, medium-sized kettlebells on the middle, and large kettlebells on the bottom.
- Triangular Design For Stability – Shaped similar to a pyramid, this solid rack won’t topple over.
- Convenient Storage – Place it out of the way in the corner of your workout area or even in a closet! The compact design makes this rack very unintrusive.
What People Are Asking:
Some customers have asked these questions about this product
Would this hold a 70 lb. kettlebell?
General consensus: The bottom shelf is well secured and can handle 150 lbs.
What are the specifications of this rack?
Manufacturer’s response: 23″ (L) x 17″ (W) x 42″ (H) Weight: 45.1 lbs.
The little brother of the Body-Solid Dumbbell/Kettlebell Rack, the 3 tiers of this rack are strong enough to hold two kettlebells each. It’s recommended that you store kettlebells no heavier than 50 lbs. That should, in theory, hold a total weight of 300 lbs. of kettlebells. However, that would mean 6 50-pound kettlebells which doesn’t make a whole lot of sense for personal use.
I’m not quite sure what the purpose of offsetting the shelves is. Perhaps it’s to make it easier to grab a kettlebell from the top two rows. According to one reviewer, 14 inches separate the bottom and middle shelf. From the top to the middle shelf, they reported roughly 6.5 inches.
Kettlebell Rack Features:
- Modern Design – Compact, stable, and affordable, this rack is a good choice for beginners.
- Holds 6 Kettlebells – Mix and match kettlebells of 5 to 50 lbs.
- Super Portable – Weighing just 19 lbs., you can easily move this rack to different areas in your home or gym.
What People Are Asking:
Some customers have asked these questions about this product

Does the rack come pre-assembled?
General consensus: No, but it is fairly easy to put together.
Basic but reliable, this kettlebell rack can support up to 240 lbs. worth of kettlebells. The top tier can hold up to 100 total pounds while the bottom supports up to 140 pounds. Typical configurations will have 3 kettlebells on the top shelf and 3 on the bottom. That should be enough to contain the average kettlebell set.
The 90-degree corner makes it very easy to store your kettlebells out of the way. A steel tube lays underneath each tier to provide additional support. While this might not be suitable for the serious kettlebell enthusiast, the average user should have no problems storing and supporting the average-sized set.
Kettlebell Rack Features:
- 90 Degree Corner – Slide this rack in the corner of your gym or workout area. Maximize your floor space so you can exercise more freely.
- 240 lb. Capacity – Plenty of options to configure the rack to suit your needs. Whether that is with a few heavy weighted kettlebells or several lighter-sized ones.
- Holds up to 6 Kettlebells – A perfect example would be 10, 15, 20-pound kettlebells on the top shelf and 25, 30, 35-pound kettlebells on the bottom.

It’s able to hold a few smaller-sized kettlebells on the top and bottom trays and 4 pairs of dumbbells on the side. Rubber grommet trimmed cradles and edges help to prevent scratching of equipment as well as your floor. Spanning just over 20″ across and 10″ deep, this is one of the more compact storage racks available.
Ideal for folks just starting out with weight lifting, don’t expect to store dumbbells or kettlebells weighing more than 35 lbs. Given this fact, we’d recommend this rack as an inexpensive solution for people mainly interested in improving cardio. As tiny as this storage unit is, it’s still another fine product from CAP Barbell.
Kettlebell Rack Features:

- Rubber Trim For Protection – The rubber grommet of the cradles and bottom edge helps reduce scratching of dumbbells and flooring

What People Are Asking:
Some customers have asked these questions about this product
How many kettlebells will this hold?
General consensus: Depending on the size, around 4 to 8. A 5, 10, 15, and 20 lb. kettlebell can all fit on a shelf.
Can this rack hold heavier dumbbells over 40+ lbs?
Manufacturer’s response: Most likely not, doing so might cause warping.
This combination rack offers decent storage for kettlebells, however, the real selling point is how it also combines dumbbells and weighted plates to allow for a complete and total workout. Having the convenience of storing all of these weights in one place makes clean up quick and easy. Both compact and durable, it is more than capable for use in a fitness studio, but also small enough for home use.
Those with hardwood floors will appreciate the rubber capped feet at the bottom of this rack. They protect your floor from scratches and scuffs. Speaking of scratches, the hammer-tone finish on the rack helps to protect IT from being scratched. This rack will be reliable and look great for a long time to come.
Kettlebell Rack Features:
- 3 Tiers and 4 Posts – Offers many different combinations of weight sets and plates, dumbbells, and kettlebells.

Budget & Corner Rack Roundup
When choosing a corner or compact kettlebell rack, it’s best to calculate the total weight of your kettlebell set. A few of these racks are strong enough to handle 250 to 300 lbs. of weight. Maybe you don’t need that much support right now but it may prove to be valuable down the road.
Something else to keep in mind is if you plan to expand your kettlebell collection one-by-one and need additional storage. Having 3 tiers like that of the SPRI Steel Kettle Bell Storage Rack gives you the flexibility of adding heaving weights later on. Of course, if you have a variety of weights, the combo storage weight rack is a sensible choice.
