Bodytone Solid Rock SR10E squat cage

The Bodytone Solid Rock SR10E squat cage is a plate loaded squatting station rated to 215 kg, designed for commercial gyms that want a guided, supervised squat position on the floor. It sits in the cages family of the Solid Rock catalogue and complements the range’s lower body machines by adding a squat station where the bar path is supported rather than left entirely free. Members get the loading feel of free weights with a trajectory that limits lateral drift under fatigue.

Construction follows the Solid Rock pattern: a thick section steel chassis, guide columns for the bar, and Olympic plate horns carrying the 215 kg working capacity. Because the load is applied directly by plates, there are no cables, pulleys or weight stacks in the system, which removes the components that normally drive maintenance cost on a high traffic squat station.

Technical specification

Professional use and floor planning

A guided squat station answers a specific operational problem in commercial gyms: the free squat rack is intimidating for a large part of the membership and monopolised by a small part of it. The SR10E gives the rest of the floor a way to squat under load with a controlled path, which raises utilisation of the lower body zone and reduces the amount of instructor time spent supervising the free racks.

Site it on weightlifting grade rubber flooring, ideally a thick tile or a platform, since plates will be dropped and seated on the horns repeatedly. Plate storage should sit immediately beside the station so users are not carrying discs across a circulation route. Loaded, the station and its plates represent a significant concentrated mass, so confirm the floor build up before installing above ground level. Exact dimensions and the anchoring requirement are confirmed at quotation stage against current Bodytone specifications, and our team can produce a layout study for the room.

Frequently asked questions

How does it differ from a power rack?

A power rack holds a free barbell that the lifter controls in every plane. The SR10E guides the bar along fixed columns, so the movement is more constrained and easier to perform safely without a spotter, at the cost of the stabilising demand that free squatting develops.

Are plates and a bar included?

The station is quoted as equipment only. Olympic plates and any bar or accessory can be added to the same quotation so the zone is delivered complete.

What are the delivery and warranty terms?

Shipping is 5 to 10 working days from stock to France, Belgium, Switzerland and Luxembourg, with export costed per project. Warranty runs 2 to 5 years depending on the range. Light In Fitness has supplied Bodytone equipment to French professionals from Tours since 2013.
