Description
TKO Counterbalanced Smith Machine for Guided Barbell Strength Training:
The TKO (872SM-BK) Counterbalanced Smith Machine guides the bar through a fixed vertical path for squats, lunges, presses, shrugs, calf raises, and bench-based strength exercises. A counterweighted lifting assembly reduces the starting bar resistance to 14 lbs, making smaller load progressions easier before Olympic plates are added. Eight racking positions and a rotating hook system let users secure the bar at multiple heights, while the lowest published bar position is 25 inches from the floor.
Dual Safety Stops and Eight Plate Horns Support Independent Training:
This commercial Smith machine uses dual adjustable safety stops to establish a lower travel limit before each set, giving users a repeatable endpoint when training without a spotter. Eight stainless-steel storage horns keep Olympic plates close to the frame, and rubber feet help protect finished flooring. The open center leaves room for compatible benches and varied foot placement, allowing the same station to support standing lower-body work and multiple pressing angles.
Linear Bearing Smith Press Brings Commercial Structure to Free-Weight Programs:
This TKO Linear Bearing Smith Machine uses heavy-duty 11-gauge steel tubing and a durable black finish for high-frequency use in serious home gyms, school and college weight rooms, athletic performance centers, government facilities, personal-training studios, and commercial clubs. The guided travel path reduces the balance demands of a free bar while preserving plate-loaded progression, and the combination of bar hooks, safeties, plate storage, and bench compatibility makes the station adaptable to a broad range of strength programs.
