Hack Squat | Plate Loaded machine - Pro Series

Hack Squat - Lever Hack Squat: inclined squat with shoulder pads and two-position carriage lock

The Fitness Tech Pro Series Hack Squat - Lever Hack Squat machine is a plate-loaded hack squat with a guided inclined path, designed to work the quadriceps and glutes, with hamstring involvement. The user positions themselves under the shoulder pads, with their back supported by a wide backrest and their feet on a non-slip platform, and performs the squat with the control provided by a machine.

It is suitable for strength training centers, sports science faculty gyms, and weight rooms in affiliated clubs, and is accessible to all levels thanks to its convenient entry and exit. The padded shoulder pads and backrest distribute support throughout the entire range of motion.

The frame is made of Q235 steel and 50 × 100 × 3 mm oval tubing, while the double-layer electrostatic powder coating preserves the finish despite continuous contact with plates and footwear.

Side handles for releasing and locking the carriage

The two side handles release and lock the carriage in two starting positions, one slightly higher and the other lower. This allows the user to position themselves under the shoulder pads with the weight secured, begin the set from the preferred position, and lock the load when finished.

Inclined path and Olympic plate loading

The lever's inclined path keeps execution stable and consistent with every repetition, while reducing stress on the lower back by supporting it against the backrest. The load is mounted with Olympic plates on both sleeves, and the four frame-mounted storage posts hold plates that are not in use.
