Saw this on reddit. Skip to 400. Says monolift is part wood?

[lsi1]

since he calls the uhmw rubber maybe he is confused. When the mono moves it sounds like steel on steel but I could be wrong it has happened before.

That is really bizarre. First, maybe the movement varies by hole placement, but I can conform that the rogue version has a little over 5" of bar movement between stops. That version of titan doesn't seem to move much at all...... and wood... really? Maybe it's a composite metal or aluminum?

Seems really strange to me that he's benching with rogue calibrate plates...... on a titan budget mono.

lol

mech be honest, how much of my **** that you made has wood in it?

I''m 100% sure he sees the striations left from laser cutting thick steel too fast, and thinks it's the grain from wood.

None. It's mostly cardboard.

Maybe he's an idiot, either for thinking it's wood or using it if his is wood.

Of according to Titan website it's 3/4" steel which seems a little more reasonable choice for materials.

mech you would be the one to answer this for me. In the video the guy shows 3 holes for mounting the pivot arm of the monolif. He says thats for adjusting the height of the arms but I think its more for pushing the hooks outwards from the uprights. with more arm above say with the height set in the bottom hole it would bring the hook to a resting point closer to the uprights that the monos were mounted on. With the top hole being used and less weight and leverage above the pivot point the bar hook would swing out slightly further from the uprights.

I'm probably over figuring this a bit but still curious.

oh yeah? what's that in this picture?



guess who caught Mech in his web of lies? This guy

also there does appear to be cardboard in this picture as well

If the holes are lined up on the same line, parallel to the back of the arm, it shouldn't matter. The reduced ROM is just because the stopper bolt/hole is too close. They probably winged it without really knowing what is was for.

So do we know if the titan X-3 rack accessories are compatible with rogue ML racks? or does titan use 75mm x75mm and rogue uses 3"x3" making them not work? And is there issues on the pin size of titan accessories vs the hole size in the ML rack?

[AttyGuy]

Is that a Mech mono lift?

[Domicron]

Is that a Mech mono lift?

yup! custom built for my drop in rack.

Titan's 'Wooden' monolift attachments are 10% off today, they are running a sale on new stuff. AND, WTF is up with the monolift in this picture? When you zoom in I swear you can see straight up cracks on the swing arm...

It's their wood prototype/demo model.

Their photography in general is embarrassing.

you mean up at the top of the arm? looks like a bad paint job or something


if your right click and 'view image' then magnify, it looks like there are cracks in the weld that connects the base to the bracket

[weejayb]

bought two axle bars, dual landmine, T3 strips, and pair of olympic weight holder during their 20% off memorial day sale. The axle bar has a fine sand paper feel to it( 1000 grit??) I bought two of them for when i need to use it for the dual landmine. Not much to say about the dual land mine other than it does the job. Paint job could be nicer though. The T3 strip i was able to bolt it up on the titan GHD. The two bottom bolts will line up perfectly and you will to buy a longer bolt. I picked up some m12 130mm bolts at Lowes. For the top i had to use my drill press to drill a hole for one bolt only.

Was recently told by titan that they will be releasing their own football/swiss bars soon. Looking at their prices on the axle bars and the trap bar they recently listed on their site I may have to give them a try when they become available.

hopefully its just the same ****ty powder coat that somehow looks just like it was painted on thats on my t-3. surface prep and cleaning up welds is clearly not a priority in Titans chinese sweatshop. They seem to be improving but their first versions of everything just seem very basic and rough. Probably because they don't want to lose a bunch of money when someone takes them to court for directly cloning their stuff.

[dieselmike]

What the hell are you guys seeing that I am not? A little bubbling of the red paint on the arm? Where are these cracks? Or am I blind?

I got their 7' axle yesterday. It has the usual Titan features of surface rust and rough powder coat, but I can't believe it was $42 shipped compared to what Rogue wants. Titan said it's 4.5mm wall pipe, but I haven't measured it yet.

[ModernWizard]

Don't think those are cracks. It LOOKS like where the wrap around angle attaches to the face plate. Can't really see the welds at all. Ugly as hell, but it's Titan so...

Really need some actual pics, not the stock photo which is more than likely the prototype. And butt ugly.

My first Titan product.

[thejosef]

My first Titan product.

I think they just strive for "functional." It just reminds me very much of stuff your buddy would make in his backyard shop, and his welding and painting skills are a "work-in-progress." Cheap, and functional. But yeah, that's about it.
