Bodytone Solid Rock SR08/O Outdoor Leg Curl, Stainless Steel Plate Loaded Machine, 138 kg

The Solid Rock SR08/O is a stainless steel plate loaded leg curl rated to 138 kg, built for permanent installation on an urban fitness trail, a city stadium or a municipal open air sports area. The movement is knee flexion, loading the hamstrings with the calves assisting at the end of the range, guided on stainless steel rails with padded rollers. Everything about the design assumes the machine will be left outside and used without supervision.

Loading is by standard olympic plates, with no proprietary selection system, no cables and no pulleys. That choice removes the components that fail first outdoors and keeps maintenance to inspection and cleaning. Plates are not supplied, which allows the load range and the security arrangement to be matched to how the site is run. The manufacturer states a fully stainless steel structure with reinforced corrosion protection; no grade is published, so exposure to sea air or de-icing salt should be discussed before ordering.

The buyers for this machine are local authorities and social housing operators equipping an open access strength trail, together with campsites, holiday residences and outdoor sports complexes that need equipment to survive several seasons of unattended use.

Technical specification

Specifying an outdoor strength trail

A leg curl belongs in a station sequence rather than on its own. The usual pairing is with the outdoor leg extension so that the front and the back of the thigh are both covered, positioned close enough that a user moves between them but far enough apart that two people can train at once. Base design is the item to settle first: the foundation is poured and cured before the equipment arrives, and its dimensions come from the machine drawing rather than from a standard detail. Surfacing under and around the stations has to drain and stay firm, which in practice means bound rubber, safety tiles or a compacted mineral surface. Sightlines matter too on open access sites, since equipment placed out of view is used less and vandalised more. We prepare a free implantation study from your site plan covering the station mix, base design, surfacing and spacing.

Frequently asked questions

Why plate loaded rather than a weight stack outdoors?

A stack needs cables, pulleys and shrouds, all of which degrade in the weather and can be tampered with. Plate loading keeps the mechanism simple, which is why the whole outdoor range uses it.

What is the maximum resistance?

138 kg using standard olympic plates. That covers general public use on an open access site with a comfortable margin for stronger users.

What maintenance schedule should be planned?

Routine cleaning plus a periodic visual inspection of the anchors, the roller padding and the plate retention. There is no cable or pulley servicing, which is the main operating advantage of the range.
