ATX® Trinity Tower 135 kg
- Solid Construction – being tall and narrow, lat machines can be unstable. ATX® have gone to great lengths to build a lat machine that will stand strong for eternity. The dual uprights, combined with angled rear support arms results in a stable platform heavy work. All the joints are braced in true ATX® fashion.
- Relatively compact footprint – since the weight stack is quite far away from the rear upright, you can push the unit right against the wall and with the seat folded up, it will only extend 175 cm off the wall – just a few centimeters more than the old ATX-LSW-740 lat machine.
- 135 kg in 5 kg increments – finally you can lat pulldown more than you can bench press!
- 1:1 Ratio means no mechanical advantage, so you will be able to enjoy the whole 135 kg weight stack.
- Built in resistance band holders – in case you don’t like the strength curve or feel like the 135 kg stack is not enough for your needs.
- Rubber edge protection at the front of the machine. This will not only protect the paintwork, it will also reduce noise if cable attachments swing into the machine. .
- Weight Stack Cover – to deter people from sticking their appendages where they are not supposed to.
Frictionless
A lot of engineering went into making the ATX® Trinity Tower the smoothest lat pulldown ATX® have produced:
- 20 mm thick solid steel guiderails offer no flex at all even when rowing 135 kgs, not that you will notice anything happening around you when you are pulling this much weight.
- HARD-Chrome Coating – not only provides you with a smoother surface to glide on, but also boasts great durability.
- Double-Bearing Aluminum Pulleys – nylon pulleys do the trick, but aluminum just look better. In a gym environment it is one less thing halfwits can break .
- Stretch free cable – the cable flexes much easier compared to the industry standard wire ropes providing with that bit of extra smoothness and longevity.
- ATX® have chosen CNC machined weight stack plates instead of traditional cast iron weight stack plates. It may seem a tad excessive, but it does make a significant difference, especially in lat pulldown machines. CNC machined stack plates have significantly tighter tolerances, meaning that they will create less friction.
Cable Adjustment System
It is all about quality and ease of use with the ATX-LSW-850. The innovative cable adjustment system allows you to lower the cable to the correct starting position.
It may not be necessary for most people, especially when performing lat pulldowns. But the height of the machine and other exercises should be taken into consideration.
Take tricep pushdowns as the perfect example, most people would simply attach a triceps rope or a revolving straight bar to the top pulley and then use their lats to bring the attachment down, just so they could start training their triceps. Not to mention the smashing of the weight plates at the end of the set.
The newly implemented cable adjustment system performs the best in the laying pulldown position. It allows you to extend the overall stretch of the cable from 155 cm to 200 cm, giving you ample room to perform a multitude of rowing exercises.
The cable adjustment system is located on a side of the machine. It is a simple pull pin handle with laser engraved markings for easier identification. A lot of work went into making the system functional, for example half of the mechanism is embedded into the machine, so you don’t have any unnecessary cable hanging around.
The Seat
Most lat pulldown machines do have seats, so this is not exactly an innovative feature. But not all of them are oversized, operate on bearings or are sitting at correct height.
- With glute training becoming more and more popular ? it made sense to add an oversized seat, which doubles up as a bench for laying rows.
- The height of the seat is pretty much identical to your regular bench, so you are not all hunched up and have plenty of foot clearance.
- The seat operates on bearings for smoother transitioning between lat pulldown and seated rows.
- The included anti-slip thick rubber foot will protect your floor from scratches.
One Rubber for all your needs
Leg lock mechanism has been completely redesigned, it now features far more adjustment positions, abundance of comfort improvements and loads of steel.
- The pads have been ergonomically shaped and manufactured of rubber- which will both keep your feet in place as well as last significantly longer compared to your foam alternatives.
- The same pad can be used to lock yourself in during lat pulldowns, seated cable rows and even as a place to hold your feet during laying high pulley rows.
- A total of 11 knee/foot rest adjustment positions makes this machine perfect for users of all shapes and sizes.
- German Engineers have put the laser cutting machine to a good use as they’ve laser-cut hole markings into 8 mm thick steel sheet. Which has been coated in hard chrome as the pain would simply chip off.

Claude Khoury –
The hands down best built and best thought out lat pulldown and low row unit on the market. The videos I’ve seen on YouTube honestly don’t even come close to showing you the very heavy duty absolutely commercial gym build quality. Notably, the very thick heavy gauge steel everywhere, the smooth as silk oversize machined alloy sealed bearing pulleys, the massive 135kg precision machined weight stack, the game changing adjustable cable length, and heavy duty convertible leg holder/foot rest, and thickly padded convertible seat. No more crawling around on the floor to do low rows!!
The ease of transitioning from one exercise to another is so gratifying. That alone make this worth every cent.
Sam and Matt are down to earth gentlemen and a pleasure to deal with. Matt went out of his way to make my delivery happen and recommended a very professional installer who did an excellent job assembling this piece in my home gym.
Once you use this machine you immediately appreciate the precise German build quality. This unit will simply out live you. Sometimes when making a high end purchase in the past I would remind myself “Buy well once, cry once”. This time there was only absolute satisfaction and reassurance that I made the right choice. It’s worth every penny!

If I could give more stars, I would!
This is a brilliant, heavy duty, german design monster. I love it because its a 1 to 1 ratio pulley system, so with the large 135kg stack, you will have no problem getting a great workout. The other big part i want to share is how good the pulleys are, very smooth, very quiet.
I opted to pickup and install it myself, and for doing it for the first time, it wasn’t complex at all. roughly took me 3-4 hours. Instructions explain everything really well.
I want to thank Linas for all his time and service in helping me.
