Engineered for Performance

The Northland Open Trap Bar is packed with thoughtful features that make it one of the best-value open hex bars on the market:

Built-in bar jack for effortless plate loading and unloading

Upgraded solid steel feet for maximum stability

Removable hex-bolt handles for easy customization

Rackable design fits most standard-size power racks

Dual 28mm knurled handles spaced 25” apart with a center knurl mark for consistent hand placement

Durable metallic black finish that stands up to heavy use

• Both the 10” and 16” sleeve versions come with dual 28mm handles and dual knurl markings , updated from customer feedback for a better grip and smoother training experience.

Built for Real-World Training

The open trap bar design gives you the freedom to perform a wide range of movements safely and effectively—perfect for deadlifts, lunges, farmer’s carries, shrugs, presses, and rows . The open frame allows for a natural range of motion, making it a go-to choice for lifters focused on strength, balance, and joint-friendly mechanics.

We’ve also upgraded our packaging to keep your bar protected during transit, so it arrives ready for action.

This bar is made for controlled drops from low heights (like deadlifts and shrugs), but not for overhead or squat-position drops . For the best fit, use standard bumper or iron plates —competition plates with tight 50.4mm tolerances may be too snug.

Warranty & Quality

Sleeve replacements are covered once within that period, and we offer a 40% replacement discount after warranty expiration if needed.

Minor tolerance variations (±3%) are standard. For optimal longevity, use plates with similar diameters to evenly distribute pressure across the sleeves.

The Bottom Line

The Giant Lifting Northland Open Trap Hex Bar combines durability, function, and value like no other. With its built-in jack, rackable design, and dual-handle setup, this bar is made for lifters who want maximum performance in a versatile, long-lasting design. If you’re training in your garage or a training studio this open trap bar delivers serious results—without the premium price tag.
