Freemotion EPIC Plate Loaded Squat Machine
Description
The Freemotion EPIC Plate Loaded Squat is a commercial-grade strength machine engineered for serious squat training in gyms, athletic facilities, and performance centers. Its uniquely contoured platform promotes correct ankle alignment and a smooth range of motion, helping users execute better squat technique with every rep. The shoulder pads swivel and slide to accommodate a wide variety of body types, ensuring a comfortable, secure fit regardless of the user.
Built from heavy-duty steel and finished with an electrostatic powder coat, this machine is designed to handle the demands of high-traffic commercial environments day in and day out. The low plate load design keeps weight storage at waist level for fast, safe loading and unloading, while a 7-position safety stop and weight-locking lever give users full control throughout their workout. Bolt-down holes allow permanent floor installation for added stability and safety.
Key Features
- Contoured Platform with Line-X® Texture: Unique curved design maintains correct ankle alignment and provides a textured, non-slip surface for secure foot placement even under heavy loads.
- Swivel and Slide Shoulder Pads: Contoured shoulder pads adjust in two directions to comfortably accommodate a wide range of users and body types.
- 900 lbs (408 kg) Total Max Load: Rated for up to 450 lbs (204 kg) per side, making it suitable for elite-level training environments.
- Low Plate Load Design: Plate storage bars are positioned near the load arms, keeping loading and unloading at or below waist level for safe, efficient transitions.
- 7-Position Safety Stop: A solid steel locking bar can be placed in any of 7 positions to set the lowest point in the squat motion, protecting users from excessive depth.
- Weight-Locking Lever: Lift the carriage to begin exercising; push the lever down and lower the carriage into one of three secure locking positions when finished.
- Integrated Plate Storage: Built-in storage bars keep weight plates close at hand for quick drop sets and a tidy weight room floor.
- Bolt-Down Holes: Pre-drilled holes allow the unit to be anchored to the floor for maximum stability in high-use commercial settings.
- Heavy-Duty Steel Construction: Industrial-grade steel frame is electrostatically powder-coated for a sleek, durable, commercial finish.

Manuals & Guides
FAQ
Is the Freemotion EPIC Plate Loaded Squat suitable for commercial gyms?
Yes, absolutely. The EPIC Plate Loaded Squat is built specifically for commercial use with heavy-duty steel construction, an electrostatic powder-coat finish, and a 900 lb total load capacity. Its bolt-down holes allow permanent floor mounting, making it ideal for high-traffic facilities like gyms, athletic training centers, and universities.
How does the safety stop work?
The safety stop uses a solid steel locking bar that can be set in any of 7 positions along the machine's frame. This lets each user define the lowest point of their squat range of motion before they begin, providing a reliable safety limit that protects against over-depth under heavy loads.
Can the shoulder pads be adjusted for different body sizes?
Yes. The contoured shoulder pads both swivel and slide, allowing them to be positioned to comfortably fit a wide variety of users regardless of height or shoulder width. This adjustability makes the machine practical for shared-use environments where many different athletes will train on it.
What standard frame colors are available?
The EPIC Plate Loaded Squat is available in four standard frame colors: Black Texture, Black River, Platinum Sparkle, and White River. Custom colors can also be requested, though a surcharge may apply. Standard upholstery color is black, with custom upholstery available upon request as well.
Does this machine require assembly or professional installation?
Freemotion offers white-glove installation and delivery service, which covers everything from delivery to commissioning so your equipment is ready to use from day one with zero disruption to your facility. Please contact us for details on installation services in your area.
What is the difference between the Plate Loaded Squat and the Belt Squat?
The Plate Loaded Squat uses a shoulder-pad carriage system where the load is applied across the upper body, closely mimicking a traditional barbell back squat. The Belt Squat attaches the load at the hips, completely removing spinal loading - making it ideal for athletes or users who need to train the lower body without putting stress on the back or shoulders. Both are excellent; the right choice depends on the user's goals and physical considerations.
