The cable machine that bolts to a wall and takes up no floor space
Is this the right fit?
- Best for
- garage and basement gyms already running a rack and plates, and apartments where a floor-standing trainer is simply not possible
- Skip if
- It must be lagged into wall studs or a rack upright, so this is not an option for a rental with drywall you cannot touch
- Check before ordering
- Confirm the dimensions, exact model, included parts and return terms on the Amazon listing before ordering.

This is a dual-pulley cable station that mounts to a wall stud rather than standing on the floor, so it occupies a few inches of depth instead of a corner. Each pulley adjusts across 26 height positions, which covers lat pulldowns at the top through cable curls and face pulls in the middle down to low rows and kickbacks at the bottom. It uses standard Olympic plates on a loading pin rather than a weight stack, so the cost stays down and you can use plates you already own. Handles and a lat bar are included. Best fit: garage and basement gyms already running a rack and plates, and apartments where a floor-standing trainer is simply not possible.

Frequently asked questions
What do I need to mount it to?
Solid wall studs, a concrete wall with appropriate anchors, or the uprights of a power rack. Drywall alone will not hold it under load. Confirm your wall before buying.
Does it come with weights?
No. It uses a loading pin that takes standard Olympic plates you supply. That is what keeps the price well under a stack-loaded trainer.
What is the pulley ratio?
Cable stations like this typically run a 2:1 ratio, meaning the weight you feel is roughly half what is loaded on the pin. Check the listing specification and plan your plate loading accordingly.
Can two pulleys be used at once for crossovers?
Yes, that is the point of the dual configuration. Each side adjusts independently, so you can set asymmetric heights for single-arm work as well.
