1.8M Barbell Bar - Screw

Good training equipment earns its floor space, and the 1.8M Barbell Bar - Screw is built to do exactly that. Made by Tunturi, it sits in our barbells range for South African home gyms, studios and commercial floors.

Stripped of marketing language: this is a barbell for people who train consistently. Stated details include 1.8m.

Ideal for

It works best for barbell work across squats, presses and pulls, and lifters who want a bar that holds up under load. Outside that, there may be a better match in the range — ask us.

Before you install it

Confirm the bar length fits between your rack uprights, and that the sleeves clear the J-hooks.

Choosing the right one

Check the load rating against your working weights, with headroom. A bar rated close to your top set will not last.

Against the other 53 barbells we stock, this sits in the middle at R1 000 — the range runs R40 to R36 464, so there is room to move either way if the fit is not right.

Check sleeve rotation occasionally; a sticking sleeve puts strain on wrists during cleans.

For context on how often adults should be training muscle groups, the World Health Organization physical activity guidelines are a sensible, independent starting point.

Commercial and home equipment differ mainly in duty cycle — how many hours a day the frame, bearings and upholstery are designed to take. Equipment built for occasional use will usually survive a home routine comfortably but will not last on a busy floor, and the difference shows in the parts you cannot see rather than the finish.
