What are Exercise Equipment Carts and Racks?
Exercise equipment carts and racks are devices that store or hold exercise equipment such as game balls, hula hoops, hand weights, mats, rackets, aerobic steps, jump ropes and aquatic equipment. Most carts and racks have wheels or coasters to transport the equipment to basketball courts, tennis courts, weight rooms or any other exercise or fitness center.
Why use an Exercise Equipment Cart or Rack?
When exercise equipment is not in use and left where it was used at the time, the strewn equipment can create a dangerous situation, causing trips and falls. The carts or racks create a centrally located area for an easier and quicker distribution of exercise equipment for users while also eliminating lost or missing equipment when it is left behind on the floor.
Who Would Use Exercise Equipment Carts and Racks?
Exercise equipment racks and carts are often employed by schools, physical education facilities, playgrounds, weight rooms, pool areas, classrooms, yoga classes, rehabilitation centers, and sports teams.
What are the Different Types of Exercise Equipment Carts and Racks?
There is a wide assortment of various types of exercise equipment carts and racks for specific sports or activities. The following are some examples of the exercise equipment racks and carts offered by Rehabmart:
Mobile stations are large, central stand-alone stations with racks and pegboard hooks to store hand-weight barbells, hugger weights and weight bars. Many stations will also come with drawers to store therapy bands or tubes and other smaller items, and will have rolling casters for transporting the equipment where and when it is needed.
Aquatic racks and carts are sturdy items that are designed for storing heavy wet items. Included are flow-through shelves which allow water to drip off wet equipment, making it easy to keep swim gear and exercise equipment dry and mold-free. Most aquatic racks and carts are made with structural grade, UV-protected PVC plastic that will not rust nor be adversely affected by swimming pool chlorine.
Playground cart or recess racks conveniently store and safely transport playground and exercise equipment such as soccer balls, basketballs, jump ropes and hula hoops. The recess racks and carts provide students easy access to different types of physical and recreational equipment they need to practice developmental skills such as kicking, catching and throwing.

Wall or floor racks for therapy weight bars can be attached to the wall or as a stand-alone device to store different weight levels of therapy bars.
