Hardware – The mix of industrial & high tensile strength M12/M20 nuts and bolts is something you’d expect to find in a truck, not a cable crossover. But for a machine of this calibre, you can’t cheap out on hardware.
Dead Weight – Sitting at 469kg this unit is fully loaded with quality materials. And won’t require bolting to the floor!
The Stack – The ATX® Cable Crossover 800 Series features two 90kg weight stacks which can be increased in 5kg increments.
2:1 Ratio – 90% of gym goers are unlikely to max out this machine even with a 2:1 weight ratio, it would be 99.9% if it was 1:1. The mechanical advantage has the upshot of increasing your ROM, and allows you to more finely tune your weight increases.
Movement
Pulleys – The ATX® Cable Crossover features all aluminium pulleys; not only do they look pretty, they also keep the machine running smooth.
Guiderails – The solid steel guiderails are finished with a hard chrome coating, this reduces any flex/vibrations and provides a smooth surface for the stack to glide on.
Nylon Bushings – This cable crossover features durable nylon bushings in the weight stack plates. These bad boys do a phenomenal job at reducing noise while also extending the longevity of the machine.
Cable – The clue is in the name but the cable truly is the centrepiece of any cable crossover. If the cable is subpar, the whole machine would be subpar. ATX® are aware of this, and used a special stretch-free cable with this machine. It appears almost identical to any gym cable, but the flexible core helps provide a silky smooth motion for years to come.
Cable
Adjustment Positions – The ATX® Cable Crossover features 37 adjustment positions spaced 5cm apart. The vast adjustment range makes this machine perfect for both commercial gyms and studios which specialize in group training.
Pulley Housing – The pulley housing rotates 170 degrees which allows you to perform various oblique twist/pull exercises without having to worry about your gym members destroying the cable.
Height – The cable height ranges between 25 and 205cm when measured from the floor to the cable eyelet.
Maximum Cable Stretch – Someone, somewhere will take five steps forward before starting their pec flys, not to worry though; the cable can stretch up to 260cm.
Ease of use
Adjustment Pin – The pulley housing features a knurled grip pull pin to adjust the height of the machine.
Engraved Laser Scaling – The laser engraved height markings can be clearly seen when adjusting the pulley housing.
Retaining Brackets – The retaining brackets were designed originally to help people maintain their balance during exercises such as standing hamstring curls and leg & tricep kickbacks, but I’m sure there are plenty more uses for you to discover.
Protective Weight Stack Panels – The sides of the weight stack are shielded by the protective weight stack panels. Plus they add to the visual appeal.
What’s Included? 2x ATX® Cable Pull Tower (ATX-CPT-800), Connecting Bracket.
