5002 Plate-Loaded Press / Row Machine​ (Hammer 5000 Series)

5002 Plate-Loaded Press / Row Machine​ (Hammer 5000 Series)

The 5002​ is a heavy-duty, plate-loaded dual-function press and row machine designed to deliver comprehensive upper-body strength training. Featuring a robust red steel frame and a black flat bench, this machine utilizes independent iso-lateral lever arms to provide a natural, guided range of motion. Targeting the chest, back, shoulders, and triceps, it serves as a versatile and space-efficient centerpiece for any serious strength training floor.

Q: What barbells or weight plates does it fit?

A: The 5002 features standard 50mm (2-inch) Olympic-sized plate-loading horns on the dual lever arms. It perfectly fits standard Olympic bumper plates (like our 007 Shield PU Bumper Plates​ or 016 Tri-Grip Rubber Plates) and Olympic weight trees.

Q: Is it suitable for commercial gyms?

A: Absolutely. The heavy-gauge steel frame and commercial-grade padding are built to withstand the rigors of high-volume training environments, including box fitness centers, boutique studios, and themed training facilities.

Q: How should the 5002 be maintained?

A: Wipe the upholstery and frame with a damp microfiber cloth and a mild, pH-neutral cleaner to remove sweat and oils. Avoid harsh chemical solvents that could degrade the padding or powder coating. Periodically check all bolts, adjustment pins, pivot points, and the plate-loading horns to ensure structural integrity. Store away from excessive moisture.

Q: Can it be dropped or slammed?

A: While the steel frame is highly durable, we advise against dropping heavy plates directly onto the machine or slamming the weight resistance at the bottom of the movement. Controlled movements are essential to preserve the coating, welding, and central pivot points. Always use rubber flooring.
