Frequently Asked Questions

What is a trap bar used for?

A trap bar (also known as a hex bar) is primarily used for deadlifts, shrugs, and farmer's carries. The open design allows you to stand inside the bar, which reduces stress on the lower back compared to a conventional straight barbell and makes it suitable for a wider range of users and training goals.

What is the difference between an open and closed trap bar?

An open trap bar has an open end on one or both sides, making it easier to step in and out without having to lift the bar. A closed trap bar forms a complete hexagonal frame. The open design is generally preferred for ease of use and versatility.

Is this trap bar suitable for commercial use?

Yes. The RAW Olympic Open Trap Bar is commercial grade, fully welded, and built to withstand high-frequency use in PT studios, commercial gyms, and training facilities.

What weight plates are compatible?

This trap bar is compatible with standard Olympic weight plates (50mm bore). The 40cm sleeve length accommodates a generous plate load.

Does this bar require any assembly?

No assembly is required. The trap bar arrives fully welded and ready to use.
