The RX3 3000 Plate Loaded Smith Machine Rack is the perfect all-in-one Rack for a functional trainer, smith machine, and a half rack in one unit. It's made with 3"x3" uprights, 11-gauge steel, and 1" holes in order to allow the greatest number of attachment options and offer a fully modular setup. The dual pulley design on each upright provides a wide range of exercise options as well as the ability to change from 2:1 or 1:1 ratio by using 1 or both handles. We're also including a smith machine that further allows you to isolate targeted muscles while keeping safety and simplicity in mind. 2 Included RX3 J-Cups allows the front uprights to be used as a half rack with your barbell.
RX3 SERIES DESIGN ETHOS
HEAVY DUTY STEEL WITH MODULAR DESIGN
Lift confidently and safely from 3" x 3" 11-gauge steel with 1400+ LB weight capacity. Our fully modular
design features offset, 1" holes with 2" spacing on all 4 sides
DURABLE COATINGS AND HARDWARE
Our 1" hardware is coated with black e-coat which is more resistant to corrosion, more durable, and looks
very sleek because who doesn't love black hardware?
All attachments and hardware utilize 1" pins at 2" spacing to create a fully modular and extremely
versatile rack.
EFFICIENT ACCESSORY MOUNTING
Laser-cut numbering for each of our offset 1" holes with 2" spacing on uprights, cross bars, and
accessories such as spotter arms, provides convenience.
Attachment Design
All RX3 attachments are made with a beveled chrome pin making insertion into the uprights easy and
frictionless. The beveled chrome pin as well as the uprights will maintain their new appearance, even
after years of repeatedly inserting and removing attachments. Other companies use a powder-coated pin
that scratches and chips away on both the pin itself as well as the coating on the upright. Further, the
inside of all RX3 attachments are lined with protective padding made from durable materials to prevent
metal-to-metal contact.
HIGH-QUALITY FINISHES & DETAILS
Chrome uprights where trolleys are used means less wear and scratches to your upright as you adjust the
position of the trolley up and down. Our plate sleeves are also chrome with a rubber stopper which
eliminates the potential of scratches and chips seen on cheaper, powder-coated plate sleeves. RX3
Sandwich J-Cups feature stainless steel logo plates with an oversized racking area, making it easier for
lifters to re-rack their barbell into the intended racking area. All components and attachments were
designed in more detail.
Exceptional Construction
Logos are bolted on with stainless steel nameplates on 95% of attachments, while a few are laser-cut. No
stickers are used in any of our RX3 designs. Take a look at our Stainless Steel Logo Plate — we've gone
the extra mile by laser-cutting triangular designs into the nameplate, further enhancing its standout
appearance that is representative of the pinnacle of quality seen on the RX3 series.
In-House Precision Manufacturing
We've upgraded our manufacturing and the first thing we wanted to offer is the RX3 line. 6-Axis Laser
cutting, CNC Lathe, robotic welding, friction welding, hydraulic servo bending, shot blasting, and
powder coating all in the same facility for a consistent and high-quality product. We've even brought in
a hardware packing machine to blister pack all hardware in-house.
Continuing Innovation
We didn't stop at designing just high quality standard attachments like j-cups and spotter arms; our
cable trolley systems are the best in the market. Starting with our RX3 3000 Single Column Functional
Trainer series which features dual trolleys on a single column to allow 2:1 or 1:1 weight ratios as well
as our upcoming patent-pending Tornado Pivot Arm which will allow even more functional training
capabilities in one unit. Both cable machines also include 2x black, aluminum anodized, knurled handles
that are the best standard handles we've seen in the industry.
FAQs
Who is this unit for?
This unit is for those who want a lat pulldown, low row, and functional trainer that can also perform as a half
rack and smith machine with storage capabilities, all while being able to switch from 2:1 weight ratio to 1:1
weight ratio quickly on the cable system (Click
here for more information on pulley ratios). The 3"x3" uprights
and crossbars also allows for extra modularity and attachment options from a larger ecosystem. Further, because
of our 93" height, this unit is tall enough to accommodate a seated lat pulldown with full range of motion. The
2 handle design makes this unit extremely versatile as you can perform 1-handed exercises as well as 2-handed
exercises in one, space-saving unit. The included smith machine is not just for safety with its self-spotting
capabilities, it's also an excellent tool for totally fatiguing muscles from only one angle, thus tapping into
the same set of motor units on every rep without fail. Without needing to engage multiple muscle groups to
maintain balance and posture like with free weights, you can push more weight while focused on growing a
specific targeted muscle. 2 front posts with j-cups included allows you to rack your barbell for benching and
squatting if you do want to train those stabilizer muscles with more freedom of movement.
What is the benefit of using 2 separate single column functional trainers to make a rack, where now you have 4
handles instead of 2 seen on other designs?
4 handle options gives you the ability to choose from doing 2:1 or 1:1 weight ratio per handle. Most racks
setups have only 1 handle on each side and are either a 2:1 ratio or 1:1 ratio that cannot be changed. For 2:1
ratio racks, you don't have enough weight to do lat pulls, low rows, or belt squats from each upright. For 1:1
ratio racks, it's too heavy to jump 10LBs per handle when doing chest flys and many other exercises, such as
cable Y raises or face pulls. You may also not have the needed cable travel since 1:1 cable travel is half the
distance of 2:1 ratio cable travel. With our design, you can switch from 1:1 ratio by using both handles on each
upright, as well as go to 2:1 ratio by just using 1 of the 2 handles on each upright.

What is the benefit of a smith machine?
The RX3 Smith Machine allows you to prioritize safety, simplicity, gradual strength progression, and better
isolation of targeted muscles compared to free weights. The predictability of the bar's path makes it an
excellent tool for breaking down and totally fatiguing muscles from one angle, thus tapping into the same set of
motor units on every rep without fail. Without needing to engage multiple muscle groups to maintain balance and
posture like with free weights, you can push more weight while focused on growing a specific targeted muscle.
Do I need to bolt this into the ground?
We always recommend doing so for additional safety and liability.
What other attachments are available?
This unit is 3"x3" with 1" holes and 2" spacing, so there's are a wide variety of attachments from us and others
available for this specification. We're currently offering free shipping on this unit plus any added accessories
you order with it by selecting the $0 cost fedex shipping option. We recommend using the following attachments:
spotter arms, lat pull down seat, adjustable foot plate, FT Cable Output Adapter.
For storage options built into the rack, we recommend:
- Up to 8x plate sleeves with up to 4x shelf extensions
- Up to 4 total shelves consisting of either 42" ball and plate shelf extension or 42" kettlebell and dumbbell shelf extension.
Our design team meets biweekly and are currently working on a broad range of attachments which will be added here as we
develop more and more.
