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 & Low-Row Machine combines two foundational cable movements—lat pulldowns and seated rows—into a single station with straightforward setup and consistent mechanics.

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 FrameBuilt with 2″ × 2″ 13-gauge tubular steel and solid weld points, rated for light commercial and residential training environments.
  

• 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 IncludedIncludes a standard lat bar and straight low-row bar for immediate use.
  

User Interface & Experience

The York FTS Lat Pulldown & Low-Row is designed for straightforward operation. To perform pulldowns, adjust the thigh pads, sit on the padded seat, and grip the included lat bar. For low rows, place your feet on the foot platform, attach the straight bar, and pull toward your torso.

The dual guide rod carriage supports stable cable travel, while the pop-pin adjustments allow quick setup for different user heights. Switching between pulldown and row exercises requires no cable changes—only a handle swap. The seat and thigh rollers are padded for comfort, and the compact tower design helps conserve floor space in home or studio training areas.

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: Yes. The thigh hold-down and seat adjust quickly with pop-pins to suit different users.

Is this suitable for home use?
A: Yes. The unit fits within a standard 8-foot ceiling and occupies under 27 sq ft, making it suitable for smaller training areas.

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.
