The travel bench has a detent pin that -- when removed from each leg -- allows the legs to be folded for storage or travel purposes. The bench also has a carry strap which allows the bench to be easily carried. It is constructed of the same 14 Ga. 2" x 3" steel tubing as the SportBench.

No, it hasn't colapsed! This image illustrates how the bench can be used for incline work (similarly to incline being performed on a swiss ball).

PowerBlock TravelBench
Review of the PowerBlock TravelBench:
I (Matt writing) have never been a fan of folding benches, it just brings images to my mind of home video clips with a bench collapsing on someone. The Body-Solid GFID225 Bench changed my mind about dismissing a foldable option entirely. The PowerBlock TravelBench doesn't achieve the same functionality, but, with locking pins and being easier to carry, it is fit for purpose to both travel with (car etc.) and use as a bench. Personally, I'd still be inclined to purchase the Body-Solid GFID225 or a swiss ball in preference, but the PowerBlock TravelBench is a viable option.
