Bells of Steel Manticore Smith Machine Rack

No, this smith machine uses a standard weight-loaded system. You will need to load your own Olympic plates onto the bar sleeves to achieve your desired resistance.

The Manticore features 3x3 inch uprights with 1-inch holes, which is the industry standard for high-end racks. Most standard 1-inch attachments designed for 3x3 tubing should be compatible, but always verify the specific dimensions of your accessories first.

The total height of the unit is 94 inches. You should ensure your ceiling height is at least 96 to 98 inches to allow for safe assembly and proper clearance when performing pull-ups.

Yes, the modular design allows for independent use. Because the functional trainer and the power rack are integrated into the same 6-post frame, two people can technically train at the same time, provided they are using different stations.

The smith machine bar is integrated into the guide rod system and is not designed to be removed. It is intended to stay on the rack to provide a safe, fixed-path lifting option whenever you need it.

While the overall rack is rated for 1,000 lbs, the functional trainer pulleys are designed for accessory movements and isolation exercises. We recommend using them for controlled, moderate-weight training rather than max-effort lifts.
