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
powder form and then baked at 400° F (204° C.)
To prevent frame and surface corrosion, wax equipment annually and keep away
from salt, chlorine and all other harmful chemicals
3. Linear Guidance System
Two 1-1/4” precision case hardened linear shafts
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.
8. Foam
Three and Four pound EVA foam (deformation resistant) or equivalent is used on all
machines. The foam is injection molded directly to the multi-ply wood support board
with integral 10mm T-nuts.
