Why Get a Spare G1 Protection Bracket?
Every Unitree G1 ships with one G1 Protection Bracket (also called the debugging crane) included as standard equipment, giving you a safe way to suspend the robot during setup, firmware updates, and early-stage testing. If you run more than one G1, operate multiple test stations, or simply want a dedicated bracket for each workspace, an additional G1 Protection Bracket lets you avoid moving hardware between stations every time you need to debug.
The G1 Protection Bracket suspends the robot safely above the floor so its legs can move freely without bearing full body weight, which is exactly the setup Unitree recommends for early motion testing, joint calibration, and any development work where an unexpected fall could damage the hardware.
Key Features
Safe Suspension: Holds the G1 off the ground so joints can move freely during debugging without risk of a fall.
Included Cables: The G1 Protection Bracket ships with customized cables so it integrates directly with your existing setup.
Technical Support Included: Comes with manufacturer technical support service, not just the physical hardware.
Multi-Station Ready: A second or third G1 Protection Bracket lets multiple test benches stay permanently equipped.
Universal Fit: Designed for the Unitree G1 platform across Basic and EDU-tier configurations.

Compatible G1 Models
Because the G1 Protection Bracket is a universal debugging stand, it fits every Unitree G1 configuration, from G1 Basic through the full G1 EDU Flagship lineup. Labs running several G1 units side by side often keep one G1 Protection Bracket permanently mounted at each station rather than sharing a single stand, which is the main reason customers order an extra one.
Typical Use Cases
A spare G1 Protection Bracket is popular with university robotics labs running parallel experiments, service centers that debug multiple units in the same week, and classrooms that want every workstation permanently equipped rather than passing one bracket around. It also pairs naturally with other add-ons such as the G1 Docking Station if a workstation is also being upgraded with onboard compute.

Ordering Notes
Remember that one G1 Protection Bracket already ships in the box with every new G1 order, so this listing is specifically for teams that need an additional unit beyond the one included by default. If you are unsure whether your existing order already included a bracket, contact our team with your order details before purchasing a second one.
