Foldable • Freestanding • Portable
Save space, skip drilling, and train anywhere. Our collapsible A-frame opens in seconds, stands rock-solid, and folds down for quick storage. Whether you need a portable pull up bar stand for apartments, home gyms, or outdoor workouts, our frames are stable, height-adjustable, and built to last !
Unlike most foldable pull up bars that max out at about 90 in (230 cm) and force your feet to brush the floor, the KT folding pull up bar reaches ≈102 inches (260 cm). That lets users up to ~ 6’7″ (2.0 m) hang at full length for true spinal decompression, strict pull-ups, hanging core work and dynamic movements — all without your feet touching the ground.
Choose from many height positions to match each family member and training style. Lower for technique or recovery, raise for full-length hangs — a firm, confidence-inspiring feel when you train.
Our freestanding A-frame with four feet is engineered for fore–aft rigidity — the weak point of many folding bars. The KT foldable pull up bar stays rock-solid for swing body, kipping pull-ups and muscle-ups without the scary “sway”.
High-strength tubing, precision joints and reinforced welds give the frame a very high static load rating (up to 771.6 LBs (350 kg)). That translates to long-term durability and confidence under hard training.
Tight on space? Keep the stance compact. Need more stability for dynamic sets? Widen the footprint to increase the moment base and reduce rocking — a unique advantage over fixed-base folding bars.
The aluminium (ALU) models are rust-proof and weigh only ~ 24.25 Lbs (11 kg), making them easy to carry to the balcony, patio or park — something most heavy steel folding bars can’t promise.
Anti-slip feet, generous working clearance and a freestanding design (no doors, no walls) reduce collision risks for families and beginners. Train safely at home without drilling or damage.
Robot-assisted welding, strict QA and responsive after-sales support. Extended frame warranty and fast shipping mean less downtime and more training.
Most folding bars look similar — until you see them side by side. This quick video compares KT with common folding and non-folding stands. See why these differences matter in real training.

“MAX LOAD CAPACITY” refers to the maximum weight the product can bear during a SPECIFIC TRAINING SESSION.
For example, the KT pull up bar stand model KT1.1518 has a max load capacity of 440 LBs (200 kgs). This means if a user with a total weight of 440 LBs (200 kgs) performs pull-ups, body swings etc., at THAT SPECIFIC MOMENT, the KT1.1518 pull up bar can withstand the entire weight and other forces without bending or collapsing
However, over the LONG TERM, if a user weighing more than 220.46 LBs (100 kgs) regularly practices with this model, it could lead to bending of the handle-bar or deterioration of the entire frame. Thus, the KT pull up bar Model KT1.1518 is recommended for users under 220.46 LBs (100 kgs).
No drilling, folds flat to store.

1. Unfold the A-frame
2. Install the two distance-setting-bars to set the stance — you’re ready to train.
3. After training, remove the distance setting bars from the KT foldable pull up bar
4. Fold the frame for storage or carry
Train anywhere, then fold flat in seconds. This quick demo shows how to set up and fold the KT folding pull up bar
I live in a studio and needed a foldable pull up bar that doesn’t wreck the door frame. The KT bar sets up fast, feels solid, and folds easily. I can finally do full hangs without my feet touching. Worth every penny.
Picked the aluminum model for our patio. It’s light enough to move and the powder coat has handled rain no problem. We lower the bar for the kids, raise it for me — one freestanding A-frame that fits the whole family.
We fold it and slide it next to the washer after workouts. When it’s up, the foldable pull up bar stand is legit — no walls, no doors, and plenty of height. I’ve been doing daily dead-hangs and my back thanks me.
I practice kipping pull-ups and some muscle-up progressions. The KT frame’s front-to-back stability is noticeably better than the cheaper stands I tried. Being able to widen the footprint gives me extra confidence.
Tall height, adjustable footprint, and a clean fold — this is how a foldable pull up bar should be built. I use it 4–5 days a week and it’s holding up great.
I’m 6’5″, and most folding pull-up bars are too short. The KT frame goes high enough for real decompression. Height adjustment is straightforward, and the bar feels dependable while I practice muscle-up progressions. Great buy.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS?
Yes. Lower the handle-bar to a safe height and the KT foldable pull up bar works perfectly as a foldable gymnastics bar for kids. As your child grows, simply raise the bar through the available height positions so they can keep practicing hangs, pull-ups, skin-the-cat progressions and mobility drills without outgrowing the frame. Unlike many kids-only bars with fixed or short height, a KT frame can serve the family from early childhood into the teen years and adulthood—no wasted purchase.
For safety, always supervise children, use a non-slip floor (and crash mat if needed), keep hands dry, and stay within the area between the four legs.
The footprint is adjustable. Keep it compact for tight rooms, or widen the stance for extra confidence during dynamic sets — a unique benefit versus fixed-base foldable pull up bar stands. Check the “Product comparison chart” for more details
You can assemble the KT folding pull up bar safely by hand, without a wrench. For a more durable, long-term setup, you may use a wrench to snug the nuts on the bolts at the connection points (especially near the rubber pads on the feet)
When folded, the KT frame becomes a long, flat rectangle—it’s not compact enough to place inside a car/SUV as one piece. To travel by vehicle, you would need to fully disassemble the frame into separate tubes and pack them in a long box. Even when you’re familiar with the process, repeated full disassembly/reassembly can be time-consuming. The KT foldable pull up bar is best considered portable around your own space (home, office, training area, yard) rather than a bar for frequent long-distance travel.

Before you order
Please review the product pages carefully (overall height, minimum ceiling clearance, footprint/stance options, material, weight, and use cases like calisthenics, decompression hangs, outdoor training). The KT foldable pull up bars can reach ~258–260 cm (~102 in) on select models—ideal for full-length hangs and tall users. Make sure the product suits your space and goals; if it’s a gift, confirm fit and expectations with the recipient. If you’re unsure, contact us and we’ll help you choose.
Why we ask for thoughtful purchases
A foldable pull up bar is a large, weight-bearing item. Two-way shipping on heavy goods is expensive, and improper re-packing can cause in-transit damage. For that reason, returns that are not due to product fault may incur a restocking fee if the item is not received back in resaleable condition.
About stability expectations
KT folding bars are engineered for a firm, confidence-inspiring feel, especially in the front-to-back direction. However, no freestanding foldable pull up bar on the market—ours included—can offer zero movement under dynamic loads. If you require absolute rigidity, consider a fixed, bolted system instead of a portable stand. Many calisthenics athletes and home-gym owners choose KT precisely because it balances height, adjustable footprint, and portability with robust build quality.
Fair-use reminder
Some returns arise from not reading specs (e.g., weight, height, footprint) or from a change of mind. We kindly ask customers to purchase responsibly; it would be unfair for us to bear both shipping legs (often over $200) plus a full refund when the product is correct to spec.
Our commitments & how returns work
1. Not as described: If the product truly does not match its published specs, we will issue a full refund and cover return shipping.
2. Damaged or defective on arrival: Please send photos/videos. We will ship replacement parts at no cost or process a refund. If you decline parts and still prefer a return, that indicates a change of intent; please see (3).
3. Change of mind / doesn’t fit your space / preference differences:
– You are responsible for return shipping.
– After inspection, we’ll refund based on the received condition.
– A restocking fee may apply if the unit is not in pristine, resaleable condition.
We sincerely hope returns are unnecessary and we’re here to help you choose the right foldable pull up bar the first time. Integrity matters to us—and we’ll treat you with the same honesty and respect we expect in return.
Yes — 5-Year Limited Warranty. Khanh Trinh Joint Stock Company stands behind every KT foldable pull up bar sold directly through our official sites: khanhtrinhvn.com (US) and pullupbarkt.com (UK/EU), as well as approved distribution partners.

Important note on expectations
KT bars are engineered for a firm, confidence-inspiring feel, especially front-to-back; however, no freestanding system can provide zero movement under dynamic loads. If you require absolute rigidity, choose a fixed, bolted structure. Used correctly, KT offers one of the most robust portable folding pull up bar experiences available.
Most customers can assemble in about 15–30 minutes the first time. The kit includes bolts, hardware, and clear instructions, plus a concise video guide. After a couple of uses, unfolding, installing the two spacing bars, training, and folding for storage becomes a quick routine.
You’ll get the best value buying direct on khanhtrinhvn.com:
Group orders: save on 2+ units for family/friends.
Loyalty: returning customers can receive special offers (provide your previous Order ID).
Open-box: occasionally available at reduced pricing (lightly used/returned, fully inspected).
Direct purchase avoids marketplace fees while keeping the same heavy-duty quality and support.
Each set ships with step-by-step instructions (paper + tutorial video on Youtube). The modular design is straightforward: match labeled parts to diagrams, tighten bolts, and you’re ready to train. If you have questions at any step, our team is happy to help.
Yes. Many users (from teens to older lifters) set it up solo by following the guide and using the included hardware. Plan for 15–30 minutes initially; it’s faster once you’ve done it once or twice.
The KT foldable pull up bar is built for calisthenics and strength work and can accommodate swinging when used responsibly. Because it’s a portable freestanding frame (not bolted to the ground), take precautions for dynamic moves:
Add counter-weight (sandbags/plates) to the base.
Widen the adjustable footprint to increase fore-aft stability.
Train on a flat, grippy surface.
Keep movements within the four legs and within the load rating.
For aerial or swing-intensive practice, choose the right model and setup, and always prioritize safety.
Freestanding, portable, and height‑adjustable—built for real‑world homes.
