List of Custom-Made Products
Pull-up bar with bent struts for a roof structure
The following models were manufactured a few years ago. The upper illustration shows a pull-up bar with bent struts. This pull-up bar was mounted in the roof structure on the rafters, directly below the ridge (the top edge of the roof construction). To achieve this, the struts had to be bent at an appropriate angle before the pull-up bar was welded together.
Pull-up bar for a beam
The photo shows a pull-up bar with U-brackets. The U-brackets act as a kind of shoe for the beam and therefore had to be manufactured to precisely specified dimensions.
The pull-up bar was mounted by hooking it onto the beam. The U-brackets were then screwed to the wood. From today's perspective, it was a complicated solution that would not be executed in this manner anymore; see the note regarding this below.
If a pull-up bar is to be mounted on a beam and this beam does not allow for the attachment of the standard models, square or rectangular brackets can alternatively be welded on (each with two or four holes for the screws), so that the pull-up bar can be mounted at the bottom or on the side of the beam. For a more detailed representation, see also the illustration above. A solution with square brackets is more cost-effective than the custom solution with the shoes for the beam shown above.
Meanwhile, several series models for beams are available. The latest development, the G-model series, no longer even needs to be screwed to the beam, but is attached to the beam using lashing straps.
Pull-up bar with three mounts
The following pull-up bar was manufactured for a rowing club. The requirement was to build a pull-up bar that could be used by several people simultaneously. The simplest solution would naturally be to take a slightly longer tube and weld it into several ceiling mounts. However, this solution could not be implemented, as the construction was not allowed to be long. But by bending the tube, the basic construction could be maintained, as seen in the illustration. The additional effort compared to the standard models was minimal. Shipping, however, was quite expensive because the pull-up bar exceeded all maximum dimensions permissible at the time and could not be delivered as a normal parcel - ultimately, the pull-up bar had to be delivered via a freight forwarding company.
Pull-up bar with two tubes
A custom-made product recently produced was a pull-up bar D2 featuring a second horizontal tube, see the illustration above. The requested addition was relatively simple to implement, which also kept the additional costs within limits. The second tube was welded between the two struts, 7 cm below the ceiling mounts. The second tube is 60 cm long and also has a diameter of 30 mm. A cord, a strap, a rope, or something similar can be attached to the additional tube to perform supplementary bodyweight exercises.
Pull-up bar with extra-long struts
Among the simplest custom models manufactured are the standard models where the wall or ceiling distance is altered. The following illustration shows a pull-up bar where the distance to the ceiling was modified. The round plates of this D-model are not visible because they are located behind the suspended ceiling. Of course, the custom-made product was not simply screwed to the ceiling. The pull-up bar was attached to the ceiling with the decorative plates before the ceiling was suspended. Even if this type of mounting is very cumbersome, it is always practical to have the pull-up bar located where one walks past daily – one automatically performs more pull-ups then. This is stated from personal experience.
Pull-up bar for carabiners
Another custom-made product was also required to have additional suspension points. However, these had to be located exactly under the curved tube. This meant the solution featuring the additional horizontal tube below the ceiling was no longer viable. Carabiner hooks were to be attached to the additional mounting points. This request was somewhat more complicated to realize, but still feasible. First, new struts had to be laser-cut. The ceiling mounts ended in a thinning extension – a kind of teardrop with a hole in the middle, see the illustration above. Subsequently, the pull-up bar was welded, pickled, and brushed as usual.
Pull-up bar with bent struts
This specific custom-made product has only been manufactured twice so far. In both cases, the pull-up bar was to be attached to a concrete pillar, each of which was approximately 30 cm wide. The normal distance between the struts of the W-models is 60 cm - at least 40 cm too much. Naturally, reducing the distance between the struts to 20 cm is easily possible. However, due to leverage, the tube would have bent on the left and right, starting from the welded point with the strut, during the first normal load application.
This is because the tube would be approx. 45 cm long on the left and right (tube 110 cm; middle 55 cm; to the left 10 cm: left strut - remainder approx. 45 cm, to the right 10 cm: right strut - remainder approx. 45 cm). Too long to be able to withstand normal weight. For this reason, the struts were then bent so that the actual distance between the wall brackets is 20 cm and the ends of the tubes are only 15-20 cm long. The final appearance of this custom-made product is shown in the last illustration.
