Square Cable Machines

Guys what is the proper name for those square cable weights machines with adjustable pulleys and attachments?

Any ideas where I could get a commercial grade one?

Brian?

Is this what you mean? A cable crossover.

Something like that, but you can get them with a square configuration rather than that wide crossover style.

The square ones are a lot more space efficient...

Like this one you mean? They're generally called functional trainers.

Yeah that's more like it alright...

Thanks

Keiser do one, available from Perform Better in England. Not cheap but v good. You could probably get a cheaper version elsewhere. Ask MickK at www.irishlifting.com tell him Barry sent you and wants 10% commission.

Cool I found the website.

Any more info would be greatly appreciated (PM?), we're building a gym at my workplace and are looking for commercial equipment but would love to get our hands on second hand stuff to keep costs down.

We'll probably be looking to buy a lot of stuff as well...

EDIT: The website seems to be down at the moment...

Apparently the auction houses are good places these days for 2nd hand commercial.

Also, I would refer you back to Mick. He does full commercial gear that you're going to get a guarantee on for not too much more than you're going to get secondhand. Get on to him and I'm sure he'll be able to help you out.

hi Keane,

Try www.expertleisure.ie they do a huge amount of gym kit, new and second hand. take a look at their FreeMotion dual cable cross, might be what you are looking for.

This is what I'm looking for basically, although it doesn't need to have the seat...

Yeah , I think they do something like that, I got this off their site (see attached)
