Dual Action Pulley Cable Machine (2026)

Description Delivery Warranty Manuals Premium cable training, priced for home gyms Our new-and-improved Dual Action Pulley is a dual cable system and lite squat rack in one corner-friendly footprint, built to a standard you'd usually pay a lot more for. Two independent 90kg stacks Dual 90kg stacks on a 2:1 ratio give you small, manageable jumps for progression while having plenty of weight to keep up as you grow stronger. Lite squat rack built in The front uprights come with J-hooks and spotter arms and are suitable for barbell training up to 136kg. Aluminium and nylon pulley wheels We use a mixture of aluminium and commercial-grade nylon pulley wheels for a level of durability and smoothness you won't get in other machines at this price point. Space-saving corner design Built to live in the corner of a room, so it fits into spaces where an all-in-one trainer wouldn't. Whether you're building a home gym from scratch or adding a cable station to an existing setup, this machine delivers exceptional value for money without cutting corners. We designed this machine to fit comfortably in the corner of a room. That means more room for the rest of your equipment, or extra floor space if you'd rather keep things open. Aluminium pulley wheels at the front to match the brushed steel uprights, commercial-grade nylon beyond that. The cables run without snags or friction for a best-in-class training experience. The front uprights double as a lite squat rack, so you can rack a barbell whenever you need to. Prefer cables only? They slide out in seconds and can be tucked away to the side.

Building a home gym from scratch You want a machine that covers the essentials without locking you into a huge spend. The DAP 2026 gives you a full cable system and a squat rack in one footprint, so you can train every major muscle group from day one without needing anything else. Adding a cable station to an existing setup If you already have a power rack, you know how much a quality cable machine changes your training. The DAP 2026 slots into a corner and gives you 90kg of cable resistance per side, the kind of range that keeps up with serious training. Working with limited space Most cable machines demand a wall. The DAP 2026 is designed for a corner, so it fits into rooms that a standard functional trainer simply wouldn't. Same training capability, a fraction of the footprint.

Two people are required for assembly and the build shouldn't take you more than four hours. If you're handy and enjoy building furniture, you shouldn't struggle too much with it. If you'd rather have it professionally installed, check out our installation services. Why is the load rating lower than on your other products? We never intended for this machine to replace our other all-in-one systems. A barbell load of 136kg is low as industry standards go, but it's still more than enough for most users and gives you the option of not paying for a rating that you don't need. It's all about choice, really. Will I outgrow this machine? If you already have a good bit of training experience under your belt, it's possible you'd outgrow this. The two exercises where you might find the weight lacking are rows and lat pulldowns. In these, the max weight of 45kg (felt resistance in a 2:1 machine) is unlikely to be enough for someone with experience in the gym. In these cases, we'd encourage you to look at our full all-in-one systems. What does a 2:1 ratio mean? The 2:1 cable ratio means that the weight you select on the stack is effectively halved at the handle, so 60kg of resistance on this machine would give you 30kg to work with. This seems counter-intuitive, but is actually preferred for dual cable trainers like this since they're primarily used for isolation movements where you'll benefit from the smaller jumps between weights as you progress. How do I switch between a squat rack and a cable machine? Simple. When you want to rack a barbell on the front, all you need to do is lift the cable trolleys to the top of the uprights and slot in the provided J-hooks (and/or spotter arms) where you need. Do I have to use the squat rack? Not at all. The J-hooks and spotter arms are there if you need them, but this machine is first and foremost a dual cable stack. There's no problem using it only for the cables if you already have a power rack. How much space do I need? The full dimensions are provided above the page in the Specs tab. To rack a 6ft bar, you'll need 183cm and to rack a 7ft barbell you'll need 214cm of width. It's a good idea to leave 30cm on either side of the bar so you can comfortably load plates onto it. For cable training, we recommend 1 metre of clearance in front of the uprights to perform every exercise comfortably. How will it be delivered? Your machine will be delivered on a pallet to the nearest kerbside to your address. This is standard for equipment this size since our delivery partners aren't insured to bring it onto your property. You can then decant the box and move the parts inside. No part weighs more than 25kg. Before your delivery, you'll be contacted by our couriers to arrange a date so you can be in to accept the pallet. We can also arrange specific delivery dates or hold your order until you're ready to receive it. Simply get in touch before ordering and we'd be happy to help. Do I need to bolt it to the floor? No, it's not necessary to bolt this rack down to the floor. Do I need gym flooring beneath it? Yes, it's highly recommended. We suggest having gym flooring across your entire space, but at the very least it should be under your equipment where the brunt of the weight is centred. Is finance available? Yes, we offer interest-free finance for 12 months and interest-bearing finance up to 48 months through our partners Novuna. Applications are subject to status and eligibility.
