PRODUCT DESCRIPTION:

*NEW 9" SLEEVES ARE COMPATIBLE WITH PREVIOUS OPEN HEX BAR MODELS*

The Northland Open Trap Hex Bar is the next great weapon to add to your weightlifting arsenal! The fourth iteration of our open hex design features a built-in jack, upgraded solid steel feet for stability, hex bolt removable handles, and the ability to be racked on most standard-size power racks.

There are several trap bars like this on the market with varying features that make each unique. We designed ours with the features we felt were most important while keeping the cost down and believe it's the best value on the market!

The 16" and 9" Northland Open Hex are now both equipped with 28mm handles on both sides.

*Photos on our website show 28mm and 38mm handles, but the current model now comes with 28mm on both sides and dual knurl markings due to customer feedback.

Features:

Now available with 9" and 16" loadable sleeves.

All barbells are now metallic black *images on the site as shown are matte black.

Both are equipped with dual 28mm knurled handles that are 25" on center with a center knurling marking.

Packaging has been updated to protect the different pieces of the barbell during transit.

The most common use for this barbell is for deadlifts, pressing actions, walking lunges, farmer walk carries, safety bar squats, and bent-over rows. The truth is you can get creative and the possibilities are endless with the use of this barbell. We hope you love it!

Additional Information:

This barbell is made for dropping at lower heights when performing deadlifts and shrugs. This bar is not made for dropping from overhead lifts or from a squat position.

Tolerances can range +/- 3% of all specs. We do not recommend this barbell with use of competition bumper plates since the tolerances of competition plates (50.4mm) are very tight and could cause an issue. Regular iron plates and bumper plates will work perfectly.

PRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS

BUILT-IN JACK

The Northland bar is equipped with a built-in jack made of solid steel feet, which keeps the bar stable and makes loading and unloading the bar a breeze.

FIXED HANDLES

RACKABLE

The distance between collars on the Northland Bar is 51.25 inches, making it safely rackable on most standard-size power racks.

Quality, Service & Price!

The quality, customer service and the price provided by Giant is unbeatable! The open trap hex bar I received a few days ago is amazing quality at a bargain price! It’s the best addition to my home gym by far. Thanks Giant, for looking out for us Little people! I’ll be shopping for more soon. All the best!

Good luck trying to change the handles.

Good luck trying to change out the handles. I ordered this trap bar quite a long time ago and since I wanted to use it for shoulder presses in the rack, I wanted the larger diameter handles in line with the bar so it wouldn't hit the top cross members of the rack. When I received it, I realized the handles are opposite and the inset screws to change them wouldn't budge when I tried to switch it, so I basically put it in a corner and kept using my Titan trap bar. Since I recently sold that, I made a mission of trying to remove the handles and with a strap wrench and extra long hex key, WD-40, etc., I managed to get 3 of them off after over an hour spent on this. But the last one still wouldn't move and I ended up stripping the head. Now it's just another useless piece of equipment I regret purchasing. I don't think how the handles are attached makes sense if you intend to switch them because you just cannot get enough torque on that little screw head. If only there had been an option to have ordered them reversed from the start, this would never even have to have been an issue. I actually like everything else about the bar and see now the option for shorter sleeves which is the only other thing that wasn't ideal.

Love everything but the knurling

This is a preference but almost everyone I train agrees that the knurling is overly aggressive

Awesome Product

Open hex bar is perfect for deadlift training and heavy carries. It’s high quality and works exactly like you’d hope.
