Plate Loaded V Squat Machine [Raptor Series]

Raptor Series V Squat Machine - Commercial Plate Loaded Machine

Guided V-Path Squats | Back Supported | Olympic Plate Loaded | 10-Year Frame Warranty

CURRENTLY IN STOCK

2x Matte Black | B3 Seat

The Raptor Series V Squat Machine is the back-friendly way to squat heavy: a guided V-shaped path with an angled back support that takes the spine out of the equation while keeping constant tension on the quads, glutes and hamstrings through the full squat.

Because the torso is supported and the path is fixed, there's no balance demand and no spotter needed - lifters of every level can load Olympic plates and push hard with more control and less joint stress than a free-bar squat. For members with cranky knees or lower backs, it's often the difference between squatting and skipping leg day.

Built on a 200kg reinforced steel frame with ergonomic handles and high-density padding, it's engineered for daily high-traffic commercial use.

Key Features

• Fixed V-shaped path: guided squat mechanics with zero balance demand - every rep tracks the same.
• Angled back support: the load drives through the legs, not the spine - a genuinely back-friendly heavy squat.
• Olympic plate loaded: scalable, progressive resistance with the plates you already own.
• Full lower-body engagement: quads, glutes and hamstrings in one powerful movement.
• Ergonomic handles and high-density padding: secure, comfortable positioning under heavy loads.
• Heavy-duty steel frame: 200kg of commercial-grade machine built for long-term daily use.
• Powder-coated commercial frame: 16 frame colours and 12 upholstery colours available on made-to-order builds.

FAQs

V squat or pendulum squat - which should I get?
Both are guided, no-spotter squat patterns. The V squat adds an angled back support, making it the most spine-friendly of the two and the easier entry for members with back or knee issues. The pendulum squat tracks an arc that feels closest to a free squat. Big leg floors run both.

Is it safer than barbell squats?
The fixed V path and back support remove the balance demand and reduce strain on the spine and knees - so lifters can train heavy and close to failure without a spotter.

What plates does it take?
Standard Olympic (50mm) plates - the same plates as the rest of your floor. Plates are sold separately; add them to your order and we will freight everything together.

Is it suitable for beginners?
Yes - the supported, guided movement makes it one of the easiest ways to learn squat mechanics, and it scales to advanced heavy training.

Can I customise the frame and upholstery?
Yes - made-to-order builds are available in 16 frame colours and 12 upholstery colours on an 8-12 week lead time. See the full colour chart below.

Do you offer delivery and installation?
