Equipment Tagging System
The equipment tagging system allows you to quickly find and filter equipment across all vendors. Each piece of equipment is tagged with relevant categories, making it easy to find all rolling handles, thick bars, pinch equipment, or any other type of implement.
How Tags Work
Each equipment item is tagged with one or more categories that describe its type, use, and characteristics. You can use these tags to:
- Find all equipment of a specific type (e.g., all rolling handles)
- Filter by difficulty level (e.g., beginner-friendly equipment)
- Search by material (e.g., all steel equipment)
- Find competition-approved equipment
- Locate portable or custom equipment
