The team at klimmzugstangen.de offers pull-up bars for a variety of mounting locations - primarily, as may already be known, for the ceiling, the wall, the hallway, or any type of stable beam.
However, the team also specializes in the production of pull-up bars according to specific customer requirements. The process of manufacturing a custom-made pull-up bar or a special order often begins with the submission of a simple hand-drawn sketch or a photo of the planned mounting location. From experience, it is always highly beneficial if the most important dimensions are noted directly on the photo. Providing information regarding the user's height and the intended use of the pull-up bar also greatly assists in considering an initial solution or immediately proposing one.
Below is a brief insight into several customer inquiries and the resulting solutions.
Example Inquiries and Solutions
1. Pull-up bar for a retail space
In this example, a pull-up bar was requested for a retail space. As shown, the customer took a photo of the room, added the crucial dimensions, and sent it in.
-
Height from floor to ceiling: 244 cm
-
Height of the lintel to the ceiling: 25 cm
-
Width of the lintel: 40 cm
-
Width of the floor space: 130 cm
After reviewing the provided dimensions, a custom-made product was not required for this customer. The pull-up bar B4 could immediately be proposed as the perfect solution.
2. Pull-up bar W1 with straight ends for the bedroom
Another customer wanted to install a pull-up bar in their bedroom. The exact dimensions and the mounting location were recorded on a sketch:
-
Total length of the bar: 100 cm
-
Distance between the struts: 76 cm
-
Length of the tube to the left/right of the struts: 12 cm
This sketch served directly as the blueprint for manufacturing the pull-up bar. Nothing else needed to be clarified, as this is essentially a standard adaptation of the W-model.
3. Pull-up bar in the outdoor area
In another example, a customer sent a photo of the mounting location in an outdoor area. The arrow marks the exact position where the pull-up bar is to be attached. Here, only the specific height of the visible wall section needed to be clarified. After receiving feedback from the customer, the Muscle-Up-Light pull-up bar could be proposed as the solution. Again, no custom-made product was necessary.
4. Ceiling pull-up bar with three eyelets
This example shows a simple, hand-drawn sketch of a pull-up bar intended for ceiling mounting. The sketch reveals almost all important dimensions and additions compared to the standard models, specifically:
-
Length of the bar: 60 cm
-
Distance to the ceiling: 20 cm
-
Number and position of eyelets: 3 eyelets, placed on the inside of the struts and in the middle
-
Length of the tube: open
Based on this sketch, the possible lengths of the actual pull-up bar were clarified with the customer. Once these lengths were finalized, the ceiling pull-up bar was manufactured for the customer based on the D1 model.
5. Custom-made product for the hallway
In this instance, a customer needed a pull-up bar for their hallway. After reviewing the models already offered on klimmzugstangen.de, the customer created a simple sketch of the desired pull-up bar and sent it via email.
From a technical perspective, this sketch also contains all the necessary dimensions and instructions relevant to manufacturing:
-
Load capacity: at least 200 kg
-
Material: Stainless steel, preferably powder-coated in black
-
Length of the bar: 1220 mm
-
Diameter: 32 mm
After reviewing all specifications, a deviation from the requested diameter (from 32 mm to 30 mm) and from the preferred surface (from powder-coated to stainless steel) was necessary. These were not critical points for the customer, so the bar could be manufactured with the adaptations. The pull-up bar E2 served as the foundation here.
6. Wall pull-up bar with special requirements
Similar to the example above, images from the existing product range were used for this inquiry. All dimensions important to the customer were noted directly on the image. At the same time, the feasibility of combining two specific models was requested:
-
Diameter of the ceiling plates: 150 mm
-
Distance between the struts: 610 mm
-
Total length of the bar: 980 mm – critical dimension
-
Combination of bracket for barbell (1 pair) and pull-up bar L3
The requested changes to the dimensions of the ceiling model were feasible. However, the customer wanted to mount the ceiling pull-up bar on the wall. Fundamentally, this is not recommended because the contact surface of the round plates is simply too small. There is a high risk that the bar will break out of the wall. For wall mounting, the specially developed W pull-up bars are available. They feature 30 cm high wall plates, which guarantee a very secure hold in the wall. The combination of the barbell bracket (1 pair) and the pull-up bar L3 could be technically realized exactly as drawn. However, the desired functionality could also have been achieved through a different solution.
Conclusion
Based on a sketch or a photo of the desired mounting location, concrete solutions can frequently be proposed or ruled out immediately. As demonstrated above, a custom-made product is not always required. Often, standard production models are already available that require little or no adaptation.
In any case, it is ensured with every inquiry that the existing spatial conditions are taken into account and that every proposed solution is simple, minimalist, and robust at the same time. Whenever possible, existing technical solutions are utilized. This keeps the effort for the custom production within reasonable limits and ultimately pleases the customer as well.
