UCS half rack

Looking to buy a half rack or a wall mounted rack (want to keep depth at a minimum in the garage), so was looking at the titan wall mounted racks. FB marketplace has a UCS for a similar price and footprint. Looks beefy/commercial grade (7 gauge steel). Anyone have any experience/thoughts on UCS racks in general? Pros/cons? Obviously con’s would be the lack of compatible accessories (dip bar).

I don't know anything about them, but Google shows a stand alone half rack. With the "feet" that outstretched, you have a foot print as large as a typical garage rack. And the attachment system isn't a standard hole system, so you won't get random attachments that work easily. Looks quality though.
If you really need to save space, I'd be looking at the wall mounted systems.

UCS is top of the line, step above rogue etc....problem is it uses the old commercial slot system so any attachments you would like to use will have to be custom made, dean over at black widow would be your best bet on that. or they will have to come from the ucspirit site and its expensive AF, for example their dip attachment is over 700 with shipping.
it would be a hard choice for me because i dont use a ton of attachments outside of the dip bars and the UCS half rack would be top 3 for me so would be a tough choice.
so ill say this, if you plan on using a ton of attachments...go with something else. if you plan on mainly doing barbell work, db work and some calisthenics...go for the ucs.

I'd go modern company: rogue, titan, rep, PRX. You can use all the attachments, the steel is usually a more-than-you'll-need 11 ga steel. They all have folding styles. Titan is great value for money. I like my titan equipment.

dunno how much he is getting the ucs for...but big difference in racks like that and a titan fold up rack. if its a good deal and you dont plan to use tons of attachments...you go with it.

It was $400 for the UCS, but only came with j cups/no spotter arms. Looking at a promaxima half rack with spotter arms included for $425. Local place here buys wholesale used racks from HS/colleges and sells cheap.
