Choose this one if

  • You want cables and a rack in one frame without a 1,455 lb machine
  • You want the number on the stack to be the number at the handle
  • You would rather the attachments were included than sold separately

The detail

The 1:1 pulley ratio is the specification worth buying this for. Select 80 lb and you move 80 lb. The Force USA G20 runs 2:1, so its loaded weight is double what reaches your hand — normal for the category, and fine once you know, but it makes every comparison misleading. Here the stack number is the honest number, which matters if you are tracking loads across a cable exercise the way you would a barbell lift.

Dual 160 lb stacks means both sides work independently, so you can run a single-arm movement at one weight and a bilateral one without re-pinning. 160 per side is enough for lat pulldowns and rows for most people, and short of what a strong lifter wants for pulldowns specifically.

At 60 by 47 by 92 inches this is a rack-sized footprint rather than a machine-sized one — meaningfully smaller than the G20's 79 by 67, and it doubles as a squat rack at 1,200 lb capacity. If your room can take a rack, it can take this.

The included accessories are worth pricing out. Spotter arms, sandwich J-cups, a landmine attachment and D-handles bundled at no extra cost is unusual; on most racks those are four separate line items that add up fast. Compare total spend rather than sticker price.

11-gauge steel puts the frame in the same class as the racks here. The cable tower at 14-gauge is a lighter structure for a reason — it never has a loaded barbell dropped on it.
