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.
Key Product Features:
- Counterweighted Lifting Arm: Reduces the bar’s starting resistance to 14 lbs, helping newer or smaller lifters ease into loaded movements before adding significant Olympic plate weight.
- Rotating Bar Hooks: Allow the bar to twist smoothly into the frame slots at each of the eight racking heights, making it easier to re-rack safely at the end of a set.
- Dual Safety Stops: Let users preset a consistent bottom range of motion, creating a controlled training environment for squats, presses, or calf raises without a live spotter.
- Eight Bar Positions: Provide versatile start and rack points for different exercise variations, user limb lengths, and bench heights inside the Smith station.
- Eight Stainless Steel Horns: Keep commonly used Olympic plates organized on the machine, reducing walk distance between sets and helping maintain a tidy strength area.
- 11-Gauge Steel Tubing: Delivers a rigid, commercial frame structure designed to handle frequent daily use in shared training spaces and serious home gyms.

Frequently Asked Questions:
- Does the TKO 872SM-BK Counterbalanced Smith Machine ship free? Yes. Gtech Fitness includes free shipping on the 872SM-BK, which helps make the overall cost of this commercial Smith station easier to budget. Most commercial orders ship via freight carrier to the address you provide at checkout, and Gtech will send tracking details once the unit leaves the warehouse.
- What does the 14 lb starting bar weight mean? The bar is counterbalanced so its effective starting resistance is approximately 14 lbs before Olympic plates are added, allowing smaller starting loads and finer progression, especially for beginners, youth athletes, or rehab-focused training.
- How many bar positions are available? TKO provides eight racking positions, with the lowest published bar position 25 inches from the floor. The rotating hooks let users secure the bar at the appropriate height for different exercises and make it easier to re-rack the bar safely when training alone.
- Can I use an adjustable bench inside the Smith machine? Yes. The open-center design accommodates compatible benches for flat, incline, and seated pressing variations in addition to standing lower-body exercises. If you still need a bench, you can pair this unit with an adjustable exercise bench that fits your space and training style.
- What built-in storage does the 872SM-BK provide? Eight stainless-steel storage horns are integrated into the frame, keeping commonly used Olympic plates close to the lifting area while helping reduce the need for a separate plate rack and keeping the training area more organized.
