R8 Defender | Power Rack | Plate Loaded

  • Three stations in one: power rack, Smith machine, and plate-loaded lat/row pulley system.
  • The lat pulldown attachment includes a row/curl handle, 80 cm wide ergo handle, and thigh pad for stable pulling work.
  • The 1:1 pulley ratio delivers the selected load directly to the handle.
  • High-quality pulleys and a smooth weight carriage keep movement consistent through lat pulldowns, rows, and single-arm pulldowns.
  • The Smith machine includes a 19 kg solid-metal Olympic barbell.
  • For presses such as incline bench press or shoulder press, the guided path of the Smith machine helps reduce rotator cuff strain compared with a free barbell.
  • 13 hook pins allow secure racking at multiple heights, while height-adjustable, spring-loaded drop-down safeties provide backup under load.
  • Linear ball bearings support smooth, controlled bar travel.
  • Type 4 J-Hooks and 61 cm safety spotter arms support squats, bench press, incline press, bent-over rows and shoulder press.
  • The multi-grip pull-up bar handles chin-ups and calisthenics, while the landmine core trainer adds pull, push and rotation movements.
  • The R8 Defender can be expanded with optional R8 Series accessories for a more tailored setup.
