I installed the platform on two 2X4 boards secured very securely into my garage wall studs. This allowed for a very tight and secure installation. Initially the adjustable side of the rails seemed less secure than the opposite side, but with the hand adjustment knobs really cranked down the noise and rattle stopped. Great platform for my once or twice a week use. Nothing like a workout on the speed bag to rip your shoulders and arms. I needed a trip to the hardware store for the lag bolts (10), 2×4 boards cut longer than those supplied, a stud-finder, drill, ratchet set, and about 90 minutes to install by myself.

Great bag platform for the home gym!! I bought the “Elite” speedbag platform after reading the reviews and must say I’m glad I did. The Elite is a rock solid. You won’t loose speed or rhythm to the movement of a flimsy frame or board. Mine came with Everlast’s NEW style chrome plated Pro swivel that allows bag removal with the pulling of a simple cotter pin. (Not the hard to use old “Pro” style galvanized swivel with the chain link.) Coupled with a leather 4214 speed bag, this is one GREAT workout station!
I’d like to address some of the “issues” that that others have mentioned that might make you think twice about the Elite:
First, and obviously, you will need tools to assemble and install. A drill, drill bit, #2 Phillips head screw driver, tape measure, Torpedo (magnetic is a plus) level, and adjustable wrench will do the trick. These are all basic tools even if you live in an apt. If you don’t already own these, you should… These tools will be easy to find if you don’t want your own a tool kit.
Mounting Hardware: This unit comes with all the hardware needed EXCEPT the fasteners to mount the horizontal wood pieces to the wall. This is reasonable, since Everlast has no idea where you’ll hang your unit. Why add to the cost of the unit by adding a bunch of un-needed hardware? – To mount through ½” drywall into wood studs, I used 4 ea – 5/16″ x 4″ Lag Screws, and washers (Cost about $2.00 total at Lowes), plus a longer drill bit to pre-drill the wall studs for the Lag Screws ($5.00 at Lowe’s, but will go into my toolbox and be usable long after this project is done.) Lowe’s sales folks can help you decide which is the best hardware for your application.
I usually like to span 3 studs when hanging stuff, too, but this kit is set-up to attach to two, at 16″. This is absolutely not a problem, my platform does not move what so ever.
Ceiling Height: I’m 6’1 and set mine about 4 inches down from an 8ft ceiling. I’m using the top setting, (bottom of the bag about mid nose height) so if you are much taller, you may want to hang a little higher.
Instructions: It really doesn’t need any… There are only 8 separate parts, plus fasteners. A simple look at the front of the box (or the Amazon product photo) will show you how every thing assembles. Just start by figuring how high your top wood needs to be and work your way down. Keep things plumb and level. Took my son and I about 1.5 hours to install, and we were clowning around much of the time.
All in all, this is the perfect set-up for my family and friends. I highly recommend this unit!

I have used this product personally in several different locations, and I have installed one myself. Since I have installed numerous speed bag wall units before I found no problem with this material, however you will need longer lag bolts and wall anchors. It’s best to put some wooden horizontal wall runners attached to span at least three studs on 16 inch centers then attach this to the wood runners, also drilling into the studs if possible. If you are NOT familiar with hanging heavier materials on walls, particular in a bedroom or “finished” location, get some help. But the average do-it-yourselfer should be able to get this up and punching in two or three hours max. If you want a rock solid easily adjustable wall unit for a great price this is a perfect selection. Properly hung it has very little vibration and shake and gives a nice consistent rebound.
The swivel supplied in mine was a chain link style, which has a small locking clip on the side. If you are not familiar with chain link speed bag swivels, it is a pain and I suggest you get retaining ring pliers to help make it easier. Personally I use a ballhook and drill the swivel holes all the way through the board to use bolts that extend out the top. This will insure the screws holding the swivel don’t rattle loose and strip the holes. The bag supplied is mediocre at best. Buy a professional higher quality bag. A Good bag together with this board you will get many hours of high quality speed bag punching for a super price.

First off as a disclaimer: Don’t even bother to order this platform if you don’t have your own drill and tools. It won’t be worth the trouble. Even with tools and a drill this platform is a lot of trouble.
Second thing to consider: While the hardware to put this platform together IS included, hardware to mount it on your wall is NOT included. You will need your own anchors or screws to mount this on the wall. The holes they drill for you are big so you need a big screw head, and honestly, the holes were drilled in stupid places. I drilled my own holes in order to best mount this platform without rattling my walls.
Next thing to consider: The instructions are HORRIBLE for this product. I have put together a workout bicycle, full olympic weight system, desks, drawers, shoe racks, you name it. Of all the stuff I’ve put together, the elite speedbag platform has the single worst instructions I have ever seen. We are talking it gives you a list of instructions. There is a page with a list of everything to do, with no pictures and very poor explanation. There is one extremely simple diagram after the instructions which leaves a lot to be desired. So, if you are good at putting stuff together you will be able to figure it out. If you aren’t, this platform is going to piss yoooou offfff.
It seems like Everlast doesn’t have good quality control over there products anymore. The top wood piece used for stabalizing the platform was badly warped– crappy piece of wood. And the pre-drilled holes on one piece were a different size than on the other, even though according to the directions the top and bottom are supposed to be the same.
Important detail: you are going to want to make sure to have a fairly high ceiling. Though this is “adjustable,” I had to set this up at the very top of my wall to make it work.
And about the “adjustable” setting. Well, since there are two separate pieces holding up the platform, the support poles don’t congruent holes, and adjusting this platform, while it is doable, isn’t particularly a smooth transition.
One other complaint. The speedbag swivel is very difficult to (pry) open in order to put the speedbag in. I’m not sure why they made it so difficult, and having bought the matching Everlast bag for it, I would have expected some compatibility that would have made it easier.
So, lots of complaints. But, all complaints aside, now that all is said and done, and I have the speedbag platform and speedbag all setup, I am happy with what I have NOW that its setup. I don’t have to adjust it because I am the only one using it (I have a friend who will sometimes be using it be he is the same height) and it does its job. With a few more drill holes and anchors in, the platform feels very stable, doesn’t jitter when I use it, and is so far showing no signs of wear. The board is leagues above the quality of the cheaper Everlast platform and is heavy and sturdy enough I don’t anticipate it breaking any time. Its nice to have it be heavy as that helps the speedbag bounce effectively.
So long story short, despite a laundry list of complaints in the setup process, once I got past the setup, I am enjoying the product.

Just bought this. Have been speed bagging for about 10 years.
The good:
- Rebounds are MUCH better than my previous speed/heavy bag combo stand.
- Board is good quality and about 1.5 in thick.
- Works well now that I have it up.
- Adjustable height is a cool feature.
The bad:
- 4 knobs to tighten regularly if you want to adjust height, or keep platform from wobbling.
- Swivel moves back and forth easily, but not side to side. This makes it easy to keep the bag straight, but is not what I am used to.
- Had to mount the 2×4 at the joint of my wall and ceiling to have the bottom of the bag at jaw level on the highest adjustment.
Notes:
1. Heed the advice of posters here, and have the following on hand to hang this sucker:
* Four lag bolts 5/16ths that are 4in long, with washers
* Philips Screw Driver
* Drill bit to pre-drill the pilot holes for lag bolts
* Cordless drill
* Socket set
* Level
* dab of grease for the swivel
* Step ladder
* Utility knife & flat head screw driver to cut crown molding (you may not do this, but I did)
2. I put this up by myself (I am strong, and “handy” with tools & construction) in about 2.5 hours. I would recommend having someone to help you.

I do believe the top tool I have in my tool bag is the battery powered cordless drill, Recently I tore out my bedroom and did a total transformation and the power tool I used probably the most and was really useful was my battery charged cordless drill. I think for each individual project in the residence I had the battery powered cordless drill in my hand. I’m sure the transformation project probably would have taken triple the time without my preferred hand tool.
