Dual Action Pulley Cable Machine (2026)

Two people are required for assembly and the build shouldn't take you more than four hours. If you're handy and enjoy building furniture, you shouldn't struggle too much with it. If you'd rather have it professionally installed, check out our installation services.

We never intended for this machine to replace our other all-in-one systems. A barbell load of 136kg is low as industry standards go, but it's still more than enough for most users and gives you the option of not paying for a rating that you don't need. It's all about choice, really.

If you already have a good bit of training experience under your belt, it's possible you'd outgrow this. The two exercises where you might find the weight lacking are rows and lat pulldowns. In these, the max weight of 45kg (felt resistance in a 2:1 machine) is unlikely to be enough for someone with experience in the gym. In these cases, we'd encourage you to look at our full all-in-one systems.

The 2:1 cable ratio means that the weight you select on the stack is effectively halved at the handle, so 60kg of resistance on this machine would give you 30kg to work with. This seems counter-intuitive, but is actually preferred for dual cable trainers like this since they're primarily used for isolation movements where you'll benefit from the smaller jumps between weights as you progress.

Simple. When you want to rack a barbell on the front, all you need to do is lift the cable trolleys to the top of the uprights and slot in the provided J-hooks (and/or spotter arms) where you need.

Not at all. The J-hooks and spotter arms are there if you need them, but this machine is first and foremost a dual cable stack. There's no problem using it only for the cables if you already have a power rack.

The full dimensions are provided above the page in the Specs tab. To rack a 6ft bar, you'll need 183cm and to rack a 7ft barbell you'll need 214cm of width. It's a good idea to leave 30cm on either side of the bar so you can comfortably load plates onto it.

For cable training, we recommend 1 metre of clearance in front of the uprights to perform every exercise comfortably.

Your machine will be delivered on a pallet to the nearest kerbside to your address. This is standard for equipment this size since our delivery partners aren't insured to bring it onto your property. You can then decant the box and move the parts inside. No part weighs more than 25kg.

Before your delivery, you'll be contacted by our couriers to arrange a date so you can be in to accept the pallet. We can also arrange specific delivery dates or hold your order until you're ready to receive it. Simply get in touch before ordering and we'd be happy to help.

No, it's not necessary to bolt this rack down to the floor.

Yes, it's highly recommended. We suggest having gym flooring across your entire space, but at the very least it should be under your equipment where the brunt of the weight is centred.

Yes, we offer interest-free finance for 12 months and interest-bearing finance up to 48 months through our partners Novuna. Applications are subject to status and eligibility.
