QLI Pendulum Squat M2 - Plate Loaded

QLI Pendulum Squat M2 — Plate Loaded

Squat & Leg Press Hybrid | Padded Back & Shoulder Support | Adjustable Footplate | Non-Slip Handles | 300kg Capacity | Model QPSM2

The QLI Pendulum Squat M2 QPSM2 is built to develop the thighs and glutes while building overall strength. Its biomechanically optimised design combines elements of a squat and a 45° leg press, so the movement works the quads and glutes hard without loading the spine — a safe, effective option for athletes and beginners alike.

A padded backrest and high-quality shoulder pads minimise pressure on the lower back, and the large, adjustable footplate accommodates different foot positions and angles while staying gentle on the knees. Non-slip stainless steel grip handles keep users secure and stable through every rep.

Sold, delivered and installed by Fitness Hero — our Sydney technicians assemble and service QLI equipment, and commercial projects get a free 2D/3D floor plan with every quote.

Frequently Asked Questions

What muscles does it train?
The quads and glutes are the main targets, with the hamstrings assisting. Changing the footplate position and angle shifts the emphasis.

Is it easier on the back than a barbell squat?
The load sits on padded back and shoulder supports rather than across the spine, and the pendulum path reduces lower-back stress.

Is it Olympic plate compatible?
Yes — load Olympic plates straight onto the weight horns.

What's the weight capacity?
QLI rates the QPSM2 to 300kg.

How much floor space do I need?
The footprint is 2298 × 1611mm and it stands 1720mm high. At 208kg it's a professional install — check access for stairs, lifts and doorways first, and our technician team can advise on delivery and positioning.

Can I order it in other colours?
The QPSM2 is supplied in the black frame and red pendulum arm shown. QLI offers custom frame and upholstery colours on full container orders made at its factory — contact us if you're planning a large fit-out.

Does the price include GST?
Yes — all prices on our site include GST, and businesses receive a tax invoice to claim the GST credit.
