I purchased the single-bar and 5-bar holders from Bells of Steel, and I both easily fit on my Rogue Monster Lite rack. After using both of them for some time, I unequivocally recommend them, especially when price is considered.
I ultimately purchased Rogue's 3-bar hangar after purchasing these for one simple reason-the protective UHMW plastic. My bars are among my most expensive equipment, and I struggled emotionally with banging and scraping my bars against the unprotected steel on the Bell's version. However, I also paid almost twice the price for that item, and it only holds 3 bars.
With that being said, I still use my single-bar and 5-bar holders. I find the single bar holder is perfect for holding traditional 4-inch leather lifting belts on the back of an upright because the square buckle slips right over the two lips with little play on either side. This is perfect for keeping your belt nearby without having it get in the way when moving attachments and safeties around. Likewise, I ended up bolting the 5-bar attachment into the wall, and I have a variety of things hanging from it, including some cheaper bars, olympic dumbbells, and other items that I am not worried about clanking and getting scratched up. I still exercise care when placing items on it, but I no longer need to worry about getting everything lined up perfectly.
All in all, these are great budget hanging barbells holders that I absolutely recommend to anyone looking for quality equipment at budget prices.
