Multi functional Smith Trainer with opposing cable pulleys

The Multi functional Smith Trainer combines a guided smith bar with a pair of height adjustable opposing pulleys on a single 285 kg frame. One structure covers guided barbell work and free cable work, which is why it appears in rooms that cannot justify both a smith machine and a cable crossover.

The smith bar runs on a fixed vertical path, so squats and bench presses can be performed without a spotter and stopped at any height. That is the safety argument, and it is the reason a beginner will attempt a loaded squat on this machine having never touched a free barbell. The opposing pulleys then cover everything a fixed bar cannot: rotation, single arm work, presses and pulls at any angle, with the carriages raised or lowered on the uprights to suit the exercise and the user.

Working with body weight and the facing pulleys, the station supports isolation exercises that need a clean line of resistance rather than a fixed path. The frame stands 2386 mm tall on a 1790 by 1935 mm footprint and weighs 285 kg, which is what keeps it stable when a user loads one side of the cable system.

Technical specification

Combining guided and free resistance in one footprint

Clubs under about 300 square metres, hotel and residential gyms and personal training studios face the same problem: a smith machine and a cable station each need their own footprint, and neither on its own covers a full programme. Putting both on one frame resolves that, and it also concentrates the coaching, since a trainer can run an entire session from one position.

Height is the first check, at 2386 mm plus clearance for the bar at the top of its travel. Then plan the working area: users need space in front of the pulleys on both sides as well as inside the frame for the bar, so the machine should not be pushed into a corner. A siting plan with clearances is issued with the quotation once we have your room drawing. We deliver to France, Belgium, Switzerland and Luxembourg, quote export per project, and dispatch within five to ten working days from stock.

Frequently asked questions

Is a smith bar a substitute for a free barbell?

No. The fixed path removes the balance component, which is the point for a beginner and the limitation for an experienced lifter. Clubs with a free weight area usually carry both.

What can the opposing pulleys do that the bar cannot?

Anything that is not a straight vertical line: rotations, single arm presses and pulls, flies, and any exercise where the angle of resistance has to change to suit the movement.

Does it need bolting to the floor?

At 285 kg the frame is stable in normal use, but bolting is recommended for unsupervised commercial access. Tell us the floor construction and we will confirm the fixing detail on the siting plan.
