If you’re looking to set up a home gym or improve your workout routine, you need to know what works best for your limited space.
A cable machine is versatile and pairs well with your other fitness equipment, such as free weights. However, getting a Functional Trainer can be quite expensive, and some fitness enthusiasts may not have the luxury of space in their home gym.
That’s where the Bells of Steel Plate Loaded Cable Tower comes in — a compact powerhouse that brings versatility, affordability, and a whole lot of fun to your home gym setup.

Bells of Steel Plate Loaded Cable Tower
The Bells of Steel Plate Loaded Cable Tower is built with 2.3″ by 2.3″ (60mm by 60mm) tubing and has 8.25″ loadable sleeves. Its heavy-duty construction not only enhances stability but also allows for compatibility with various rack sizes, allowing you to adjust the resistance according to your preferences and goals.
Take advantage of the universal slot bracket to mount this piece to any rack, the wall, or the floor— yes, even true 3″ x 3″ racks.
Load up those plates and challenge yourself to reach new heights! 😁
With a weight of 85lbs/38.6kg and a height of 81.2″/2,063mm, this cable tower can accommodate the hole spacing of most power racks that are at least 76″ tall.
It has a convenient 2:1 pull ratio, allowing you to perform various exercises. This feature increases versatility and makes for a more comfortable and effective workout experience.
The pulleys of the cable tower are made from durable nylon material, and with a user-friendly pop-pin mechanism, adjusting the pulley height on the tower is a breeze.
Whether you’re aiming for a chest press, seated row, or a lat pulldown, the pulley system effortlessly adjusts up, down, and everything in between.
Mounting and Safety: Why It Matters
One of the commonly asked questions about cable towers is, “Do I really need to mount it?” The answer is a resounding yes.
Safety and liability are both essential factors to consider. Picture yourself doing a seated row with heavy weights — you risk toppling over without the Plate Loaded Cable Tower securely fastened. We recommend mounting it to something sturdy to prevent any accidents or mishaps. More brains equals more gainz.🧠
Optional Back Operate for Added Stability
If mounting the tower isn’t an option, consider purchasing a back upright, attaching a couple of plate pegs, and loading some weights for counterbalance.
This approach is not a replacement for proper mounting. However, it’s better than nothing if mounting the tower isn’t an option.
Plate Loaded vs. Cable Stack Tower: What's the Difference?
The Bells of Steel Plate Loaded Cable Tower, as the name suggests, is intended for plate loading. It fits Olympic-size two-inch plates, allowing you to tailor your workouts to your specific needs and fitness level.
Sorry, folks, no inch plates on this bad boy! 😎
It also features tough nylon pulleys for efficient and smooth movement throughout your workouts. Nylon pulleys deliver excellent performance and durability on their own, but aluminum pulleys are an optional add-on if you’re looking for an upgrade.
