Etenon PC1001A four station cable tower

The Etenon PC1001A puts four cable stations on a single tower: high pulley, low pulley, triceps station and an adjustable crossover. Four independent weight columns totalling 354 kg, in 100, 100, 77 and 77 kg stacks, let three to four members train different muscle groups at the same time on one structure.

The machine belongs to the Etenon PC10 series of selectorised multi pulley stations, sitting between the single station PC1001B and the eight station PC1003. In a room of 80 to 250 square metres the four station format is the compromise most operators reach: it replaces four separate single function machines, a fixed high pulley, a fixed low pulley, a triceps station and an adjustable crossover, while sharing one frame and one footprint. Floor area saved on that function typically runs to 40 to 55 per cent compared with a crossover plus a separate dual pulley station.

The structure uses 3 mm oval section steel tube with an epoxy finish and complies with EN 957 class S for professional and commercial use. Overall dimensions are 345 by 195 by 230 cm and the machine weighs 710 kg, which must be anchored to the floor.

Technical specification

Maximising users per square metre

The specification question for a cable area is not how many exercises a machine offers, it is how many members can be training on it at once. A single tower with four independent stacks answers both at the same time, and it is why the PC1001A is chosen by commercial gyms of 80 to 400 square metres wanting a complete pulling and functional chest zone in one position, by CrossFit and Hyrox boxes adding guided work alongside the rig for off WOD and recovery training, by four and five star hotels needing a broad exercise catalogue inside a 30 to 60 square metre fitness room, and by care homes and rehabilitation units working the upper limbs at light loads. Placement should keep the crossover side open on both approaches, with the tower positioned so that no cable line crosses a circulation route. At 710 kg the machine is anchored to the floor and the slab loading should be checked on upper storeys. Our team supplies the implantation drawing and the anchorage schedule.

Frequently asked questions

How much floor area does it need?

The machine occupies 345 by 195 cm, roughly 7 square metres, plus working and circulation clearance around the stations, which we set out in the layout study.

Does it have to be anchored?

Yes. The machine weighs 710 kg and is designed to be anchored to the floor. The anchorage schedule is supplied with the drawing.

How does it compare with the other PC10 models?

The PC1001B is a single station tower with the smallest footprint, and the PC1003 offers eight stations on two towers for large floors. The PC1001A is the four station middle format.
