2. GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS
1. Frame Construction
• Frame is constructed of mechanical quality steel purchased in mill run quantities
• Frame is primarily 2” x 4” and 2” x 3” rectangular tubing with 11 gauge wall
thickness. Frames are fully welded and bolt together for maximum structural integrity
and minimum maintenance when possible. However, larger machines have bolt-
together configuration to facilitate movement through smaller doorways and difficult
installations
2. Frame Finish
• Prior to applying finish, each part is chemically washed to prepare surface for
maximum adhesion
• The frames are coated with an electrostatic epoxy powder coat finish applied in a

• Four individual self aligning 1-1/4” linear bearings held in place with snap rings for
easy maintenence
• Custom designed heavy duty 2-1/2” bearing housing
4. Racking System
• Dual independent carriage catch and release handles simple intuitive operation
• Four position adjustable stop to accommodate a wide range of users
5. Weight Plate Holders
• Durable chrome-nickel plating on all weight plate holders
• Four built in holders accommodate Olympic plates
6. Bolts
• All hardware is stainless steel, zinc plated or nickel plated
7. Upholstery
• Contoured pads on selective units
• All edges are stitched to eliminate any folds in the material that would limit durability.
