Northern Lights CrossBox Modular Rig System
The Northern Lights CrossBox Modular Rig System stands out as a scalable, cost-conscious modular rig designed for rapid expansion across rubber-floored training areas; its modular bays and cross-members simplify phased installs and minimize rework on existing gym flooring. It competes with Rogue on customization but aims to be more budget- and space-efficient for multi-bay layouts, making it attractive for facilities that expect to grow without rebuilding floor anchor plans. Financially, it offers a competitive balance between upfront equipment cost and the reduced installation complexity that lowers total project spend compared to heavy bespoke rigs.
