Plate loaded
Plate-loaded equipment features heavy-duty machines where users manually load standard weight plates, like those used with barbells to customize resistance, combining the benefits of free weights’ natural movement and muscle engagement with machines’ built-in safety and stability. They are highly versatile covering presses, rows, leg presses, hack squats, curls, etc. They enable precise progressive overload via incremental weight changes, require minimal maintenance due to their durable, simple design, and are cost- and space-efficient ideal for everything from rehabilitation and beginner training to serious strength-building in commercial or home gyms.
