Bodytone SR08E plate loaded leg curl

In brief — Bodytone SR08E plate loaded leg curl: dimensions 130 × 157 × 118 cm, weight 138 kg, material steel, maximum load 240 kg, brand Bodytone, distributed by Light In Fitness, price 2,815.00 € excl. VAT.

The Bodytone SR08E is a plate loaded leg curl for the hamstrings and the back of the thigh, with SKF bearings, a converging biomechanical movement and a load capacity of 240 kg. The converging architecture reproduces the natural trajectory of the hamstrings, which improves the muscular sensation and reduces the risk of compensation elsewhere in the chain. It belongs to the Solid Rock range, built for professional gyms that require reliability and longevity from lower body equipment.

The chassis is 110 x 52 mm steel tube in 3 mm wall thickness to UNE 10219, grade S275J0H, and the machine weighs 138 kg before discs. Movement runs on SKF double tapered roller bearings with a closed anti-play bush, which is what keeps the travel precise and consistent as the machine ages. The load horns are 310 mm long and take up to six 20 kg discs per arm, and an integrated safety lever controls the start and the end of every repetition.

Technical specification

Specifying a plate loaded leg curl

Three specifications on this machine are worth checking against any competing quotation. The declared steel grade, S275J0H to UNE 10219, tells a buyer the tube has a certified yield strength rather than being an unspecified section. The SKF tapered roller bearings with an anti-play bush determine whether the movement is still precise after three years of daily use, which is where cheaper bushings fail. And the 310 mm horns set the real ceiling: six 20 kg discs per arm is what makes the 240 kg figure usable rather than theoretical.

The pop-pin backrest matters operationally, because a leg curl is adjusted between almost every user and a slow adjustment mechanism costs time on a busy floor. Install the machine on weightlifting grade rubber flooring with disc storage on both sides, and confirm the floor build up before installing above ground level given the concentrated loaded mass of the machine plus up to 240 kg of plates.

Frequently asked questions

Which muscles does it work?

The hamstrings and the back of the thigh, isolated through a converging path that follows the natural line of the muscle group. It is a standard component of lower body strengthening and of hamstring injury prevention programmes.

Is it suitable for beginners?

Yes. The safety lever controls the start and end of each repetition, and plate loading allows very light increments, so the movement can be introduced at low load and progressed to advanced levels on the same machine.

Are discs included?

No. Standard 20 kg discs are quoted separately with storage. Quotations are issued within 24 working hours and shipping runs 5 to 10 working days from stock.
