York Barbell (#48051) FTS Lat Plate-Loaded Lat Pulldown & Row Machine in White

York Barbell FTS (#48051) Lat Pulldown & Low-Row Machine

If overhead equipment feels bulky or free-weight cable rows lack stability, the FTS Lat Pulldown Machine may change how you approach upper-body training. From a single seat and cable pulley tower, it brings a traditional gym feel—with straightforward setup and smooth mechanics suited for beginners and regular users alike. Just sit, anchor your legs, grip a handle, and start pulling. No cable swaps, no repositioning—just a grounded, step-in station you can trust to maintain form with minimal fuss.

Key Features & Benefits

• Hi-Low Pulley Design Supports both lat pulldowns and seated low-row without rerouting cables, saving time and keeping movement focused.

• Standard 1″ Loading Bar (Olympic Adapter Optional) Loads easily with your existing plates, or opt for an upgrade kit to swap in a 200 lb stack for quick resistance changes without buying plate sets.

• Adjustable Foam Thigh Hold-Downs The padded rollers clamp your legs comfortably so you stay grounded through pulldowns—even under higher loads or multiple reps.

• Dual Guide Rod Carriage System Weight carriage runs on two smooth guide rods to reduce wobble and keep travel quiet and consistent.

• Heavy-Gauge, MIG-Welded Frame Built with 2″ × 2″ by 13-gauge tubular steel and robust weld points—rated for light commercial settings but priced for the home gym.

• Fully Shrouded Stack or Plate Style Options Choose the cleaner pin-stack upgrade or run on plate-loaded sleeves to match your setup—both keep cable routing tidy.

• Complete Attachments Included Comes with a standard lat bar and a straight low-row bar—no extra grips or purchase required to get started.

User Interface & Experience

This isn’t about screens—it’s about feel. Step onto the base, lower the thigh bar, sit, and adjust the hold-down. Then choose your grip: lat bar for vertical pulls, straight bar for seated rows. Add plates or set the stack pin, reach up or forward, and pull—each rep stays smooth with precise tracking through the cable’s guide rods. The padded seat and thigh rollers support body alignment while the floating pulley system makes transitions seamless. Setup guides on the frame help make adjustments fast—even for new users.

Do weight plates come with the machine?
A: No. The unit is plate-loaded by default and requires standard 1″ weight plates. A bolt-on stack kit is available if you’d rather use selector pin resistance.

Can I switch quickly between pulldown and row?
A: Yes. The dual high/low pulley system is fixed—you only change your grip and pulling direction. No cable adjustments are needed.

Will it fit multiple users?
A: Absolutely. The thigh hold-down and seat allow fast pop-pin adjustment to suit different leg lengths. Setup is straightforward and consistent.

Is this suitable for home use?
A: Yes. Despite its durable steel build, this unit fits within a standard 8-foot ceiling and occupies under 27 sq ft. It works well in garages, basements, or compact training zones.

What happens when using a lot over time?
A: With a solid steel frame, bolt-in pulley guides, and floating pulleys, wear is minimal. Occasional inspection of cables and fasteners is the main upkeep. The frame backers often install in club or shared spaces—and are known for long-term reliability.
