If you’re tight on space, this setup can even fit (almost) on a single horse stall mat. You can also choose the 41-inch width option from Bells of Steel if you want to get truly compact.

The biggest advantage is storage and organization. You get that extra space on the back side to store plates and bars without interfering with your main lifting area.

Here’s the real selling point: The total footprint comes out to just 56 inches deep — 30" in the main rack area, 17" for the rear section, and 3" uprights on each end. That’s a lot of rack for 56 inches.
